As mentioned in the first part, I'm taking you to explore the campus surroundings - this time it's basically a big meadow;small path that leads nowhere and a muddy pond. The next photo reminds me of that interesting poem by Robert Frost - and since I just decided to make a forking in my PhD project - so enjoy the poem and a bit of unknown.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The muddy pond, I was so disappointed to basically see few ponds/lakes/rivers that all have this dirty colour - come on, you could do it better, there was no rain to make things muddy, but somehow all the time they are; however it would be little spidey that explained it to me that it has something to do with the soil and composition of it in Australia that water is easily "mixing" with it.
Nevertheless, black swans are enjoying their time here. As well as lots of other birds.
Yesterday I spotted a pair of kangaroos here, but they were not that friendly nor willing to pose for a picture or two and disappeared not so dense forest collection of trees.
For the end here is a gif of a small cascade on the pond.
As I stated before - it's just amazing to have all this at the campus where you can enjoy the silence, touch of nature and harness some nice energy from the ground, forest, pond and sky.
Next part will be a bit technical - exploring some facilities, machinery and workshops.
All the best,
