Swimmin’ With The Fishes (and more)

By Silver Blue

It’s been forever since I’ve been in State College, Pennsylvania, but listening to the news about the scandal at PSU, the firing of JoePa, and his death sent me looking through the photos I’d taken when I used to go up there several times a year.

There was an awesome wall mural that the title of the post comes from. It was very aquatic, and in fact, very Atlantean.

Back in those days (1999), I was shooting with a Fuji DX-7, which… this (640×480 pixel) was the largest photo it would take!

I loved the detail in the shark and (I think) manta ray.

I wasn’t sure what to make of these figures, except to think perhaps their necks hurt. I was to see them again, however.

Swordfish. Steer clear.  (Angel fish in the background as well).

Oh, that figure I mentioned seeing again?

It’s replicated in the light fixtures in town!

Finally, a visit to State College is NOT complete without a visit to Ye Olde College Diner:

Home to the ORIGINAL grilled sticky bun. Melt butter on a flat top, and grill the sticky until warmed through. Serve with or without ice cream.

Silver Blue, who honestly thinks that my arteries would have completely closed had I kept going there and eating the way I used to…
