Scrap Book 7

This picture should actually be rotated 90 degrees to the right.  It is a crack stretching all the way across the road in front of Montgomery Hall.  It is not the result of any creative process, any force compelling an inspired individual to manifest a sentiment in some tangible medium.  It is the result of years of rain and ice and snow, fluctuations in weather, of hot and cold, stretching the pavement, thinning it, ice freezing and expanding, forcing a gap to form.  It was not on purpose, it is merely the result of passing time.  More likely than not, if a few years the crack will have grown, and then they'll have to replace the pavement.  The crack is only there because we have yet to develop a more effective way of paving roads.
