We literally paused at a corner of the quad to decide whether to go right (toward the Rodin garden) or left (toward other stuff). We went left! I didn't know the New Guinea stuff was there! Thanks for the post, and next time we'll go right. Stanford is a great campus to walk around, and a perennially inspirational capper is the ride up to the top of Hoover Tower, to take a look at where you've been. For anyone interested in such things, the campus also boasts a couple LARGE totem poles (a la Pacific Northwest, not tiki) - one near Meyer Library and one in another forested nook just off of the History corner of the quad. BTW, I agree that there IS kind of a spooky look to some of those forested shots. Sort of Blair Witch goes oceanic. -Randy
