The Oracle buildings around Lake Ellison. They look comletely different depending on the point of view (the view from the Highway 101 exit is missing, all buildings look like a single building with steps from there): The building on the right is brand new.

  This is how Oracle looks like from the Highway 101 exit. The buildings are closer to the highway then it seems here, the camera unfortunately creates the illusion of distance: oracle7.jpg (20956 bytes)
     
This is an extreme example of disorder in an office on my floor: unoffice1.jpg (32815 bytes) unoffice2.jpg (33652 bytes)
     
Goose and lots of other birds are everywhere on this peninsula. These goose even learned to respect traffic: One day, when I came to work by car, I passed by a small group of goose standing on the sidewalk at the traffic light. Only when the cars got red light and the "Walk" sign for pedestrians turned on they started crossing the street. Therefore they seem to be quite smart, especially since they absolutely don't care about cars no matter how fast they go and how close they get. goose.jpg (32956 bytes)
