More Signs of Spring

I have a habit of driving down University Boulevard on my way to just about anywhere. Except for football season, spring is my favorite time of year on campus.  I shot these trees from my car window, facing Bryant Denny Stadium.

These banners line the streets around campus. I shot this in Woods Quad. It is part of the UA Touching Lives marketing campaign.

This may be a duplicate shot, but while in the vicinity... This is Goldie, who  found a home at Woods Quad and symbolizes the decline of the iron industry in our area, specifically Birmingham's Sloss Furnaces, and nationwide. Goldie's time at UA is over and may soon be moved to another location, possibly to Sloss Furnaces.  The artist is Joe McCready.

I saw this for the first time today, and I don't really know what to say about it.  It appears to be stainless steel and I like how it is welded together.  Here's another side ....

It certainly appears..... phallic.
