Thai pavilion in the snow.

The aesthetics did not evolve in this climate:

But I think it looks pretty nonetheless.

And here's the Thai sculpture fighting off the snow:

Sculpture consuming, then vomiting out.

Demon guardian chi projecting through snow gives one chills.

Great shots Althouse. More please.

Oxford's baffling admission quiz.

Althouse, this is one the web. You should look into it.

The questions are unreal.

I mean no disrespect to any of the other Althouse photos when I say that number one is, IMHO, one of the greats.

Stately, inviting, exotic and ultimately heroic.

Suitable for framing.

I've never really liked that thing. Too gaudy for my taste. And it doesn't fit the neighborhood (I grew up there).

My 2 cents.

It looks top-heavy - as though someone stole the building from underneath the roof, leaving it standing on sticks too small to bear the weight.

Is it....

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKY
TIIIIIIIIIIIIICKY
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVI?

That is the how the song I am looking for pronounced Ricki Ticky Tavi.

I am determined to find that thing even if I have drag my pussy back to Barney's and yank it out of the Ipod player. Some Barney's queen found that song somewhere and she will not be able to bogart it.

That song has to be shared with the masses.

Frost Defied - might make a nice title for that fantastic top shot.

I agree with Bissage.
That first picture is beautiful.

Nice work Althouse. I looked just like those dudes after the snowplow went by my driveway this morning.
