Thursday doors at U.Q.

A walk this week through the University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus seemed like a nice idea as it was the first time for one of our offspring who was visiting with us from London, U.K.

Although I made a mental note to look out for some doors, I only managed to snap a couple.

Above, the doors of the Arts Faculty as seen from the Great Court which is a huge sandstone quadrangle (below).

And below, some outside views of the Great Court building.

The inscription above the Arts entrance (below) could be translated as: “We seek beauty in a spirit of moderation, and wisdom without forfeit of manliness”. (Information from Pascoe, B., & University of Queensland Media Information Services). Words which in today’s world may be regarded as somewhat inappropriate.

Thanks for visiting. Hopefully the dearth of doors will be made up by the sandstone structures.
