#558 Red Bull Chariot Race: The Sofa

2010-04-26T10:44:00.002-04:00

The mode of competition at the Red Bull Chariot Race is that several teams from universities in the are compete by racing their vehicles around a short course. Each team is made up of two people pushing and one riding. The course is not fair so one team has an advantage (psst, don't tell anyone, the marketing MAs who run came up with this thing probably haven't noticed that problem).

This picture is some unknown team who raced an armchair in the Ithaca Red Bull Chariot Race. More to follow.

#558 Red Bull Car

2010-04-25T10:43:00.000-04:00

Naturally, Red Bull brought one of the BMW Minis along. Believe it or not, that Red Bull can serves as an extension to the gas tank. This car could go around the world 20 times without refueling.

#546 where is it?

2010-04-13T10:37:00.000-04:00

Where is it? This should be a very easy one.

Google just ate that picture. I will repost it later.

#544 Light Mix

2010-04-11T10:40:00.003-04:00

I like the mixture of late evening light and light bulb light. Tell me where it is and I'll send you a postcard from Palin-land in May.

#542 Spring blossoms

2010-04-09T11:32:00.000-04:00

It's spring in Ithaca and it is beautiful!

#541 Oolala, so many awards!

2010-04-08T17:41:00.000-04:00

Some winery (forgot which) showing off all their fancy awards.

#540 C.C.C. CO 1265

2010-04-07T10:07:00.002-04:00

For your info:

Between 1833 & 1841 men from civilian conservations corps company 1265 built many of the facilities at Buttermilk Falls & Robert H. Treman State Park.

#539 We pay nil.

2010-04-06T22:04:00.000-04:00

All these signs around the swimming pond at Buttermilk Falls don't say what they mean. What they are trying to say is "We don't pay a dime if you break your neck." That's just find, why would they have to. Still, they are too cheap to just write that. Instead they post warning signs about shallow water and ice (ice when it's 60F outside???).

#538 What is it?

2010-04-05T22:01:00.000-04:00

Just found this picture on my cell phone. What is it???

#537 New York Driver not living here

2010-04-04T21:57:00.000-04:00

Dear Geico,

You keep sending letters to some "New York Driver" living here. There are only two German drivers living here, no New York drivers (I assume you are referring to the issuer of the drivers license). So I was hoping to get the letter sent back to you but since you are too cheap to send that letter by First Class Mail, USPS won't return it. I hope you read this and manage to figure out where the New York driver has moved to.

Penguins like wine, too.

#535 Funny Faces of Cornell

2010-04-02T17:38:00.002-04:00

This is a photo of the southern facade/windows of Sibley Hall (which used to be the home of the Cornell Engineering Department and after being abandoned in 500 B.C. became the home of the Department of Architecture who are still dwellimg in there as of 2010 A.D.).

#533 Ground Heater

2010-04-01T17:37:00.000-04:00

You probably didn't miss, that Ithaca is a pretty cold place. To make sure that the water supply pipes don't freeze, every winter hundreds of ground heaters are placed at strategic points around town to keep the ground warm.

#532 Blue, orange, white

2010-03-31T22:45:00.000-04:00

The price is heiß and I have to say that I do like the colors in this setup at Home Depot in Ithaca.

#531 Milstein Hall

2010-03-30T17:39:00.000-04:00

Contrary to the museum extension building, the long debated Milstein Hall is getting along quite nicely.

#530 Penguin Bay Wine

2010-03-29T17:42:00.004-04:00

My taste buds are pretty indifferent to wine, I can rarely tell you if something is a good wine or not (it's good enough to realize that the wines from my home region in Germany are awful). So I go by label design and I have to say that I do like the Penguin Bay winery labels a lot. This particular one reminds me of this BBC documentary.

#529 New Carshare Car

2010-03-28T17:40:00.000-04:00

Look, Ithaca Carshare has a new car. They realized that the Pickup is getting used quite a lot. So they figured people like to transport big stuff and this Ford is as if it's made to carry big stuff. It has a very good gas milage and is therefore perfect for transporting your garden waste to the waste facility in an eco-friendly manner. Of course you can also take it out when you are hitting the stores for stocking up your basic supplies.

#528 Road Close (Stewart Avenue)

2010-03-27T22:31:00.001-04:00

This is the bridge on Stewart Avenue near Chapter House. It's been closed this week and no one really knows why. There is a digger, two people and a hole on the southern end of the bridge and that's about it. Does anyone know what they are doing? And have you noticed the miserable whether on the photos this week?

#527 Big Red Welcome

2010-03-26T22:37:00.002-04:00

Unless you are not US-American or have been dug in a hole, you might have heard that Cornell did pretty well in this year's NCAA basketball tournament. I did not know much about this before this year, but basically a bunch of college kids from all over the nation play basketball against each other. The level of play is surprisingly high for college kids and surprisingly low for national television.

Anyways, Cornell made it to the Sweet 16 which is kind of a big deal and there was lots of excitement. On Friday the team came back home to Ithaca. The Big Red Welcome Party was set for 12noon in front of day hall. 12.05 someone shouted out the info that the bus is still in Cortland and it would take another 25 minutes. In the end the team did arrive (escorted by police, fire brigade and everyone else who has flashing lights on their roofs) 45 minutes late for their own welcome party. In the picture above you can identify the team by their light grey jackets (and them being generally pretty tall).

If you subscribe to the Cornell Chronicle's RSS feed you might have read the headline "500 welcome home Big Red men's basketball team after NCAA run". The 500 was later corrected to "hundreds" which is more appropriate for the small gathering of university staff who took the chance to extend their lunch break.

#526 The Fence

2010-03-25T22:27:00.001-04:00

If you follow the news you might have gathered that there have been a few more suicides than statistically expected over the past weeks here at Cornell. While there are plenty of ways to get yourself killed, suicidees around town seem to prefer jumping of high bridges and having gravity and impact loads do the job. As a result, all our beautiful bridges now get funky barbed wire fence installed. Why is that so? Basically, the idea is that with this new fence in place it is for the first time realistically possible to jump with spectators. If you see someone on the side of the bridge, instead of trying to grab them you are now doomed to watch them do what they are doing. Great job, thanks for that improvement.

#525 Portaloo

2010-03-24T17:37:00.003-04:00

They've been digging next to the Johnson Museum to build a new annexe and all they managed to put up so far is a portaloo (slightly off right from the center of the image).

#522 Derby

2010-03-21T19:46:00.005-04:00

Yes it is starting again, and this time it will be double exciting. The Derby Season! Roller Derby is back mid-April and since Cass Park in undergoing renovations (or so) they start out in Cortland.

So let's go to Cortland.

Go SufferJets!

Go BlueStockings!

#521 The Dragon

2010-03-20T17:36:00.000-04:00

Told you! The dragon didn't burn at all and is currently hiding behind Rand Hall. I guess the AAP students who put it together will now have to take it apart again.

#520 BURN! It's Dragon Day

2010-03-19T17:32:00.000-04:00

So today is Dragon Day. Don't know what Dragon Day is? We explained last year so we won't do that again this year. The burning is meant metaphorically only: Thanks to some over-regulation the Dragon may not burn as it did for more than one hundred years. Read more about it in the Cornell Chronicle.

#519 Dragon Day coming up tomorrow!

2010-03-18T17:28:00.000-04:00

I am not sure what these constructions parked in front of Rand Hall are, but they are a reminder that Dragon Day is coming up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I am not getting excited about this all too much because I anticipate spending tomorrow in front of my keyboard hacking down Matlab code trying to get this crazy homework done by the deadline. Why am I still taking classes? Oh, I remember: Because they are interesting.

#518 Stairs

2010-03-17T17:24:00.000-04:00

I cycled past this parking lot (top left in the image) many times last year and this winter on my way up the hill. I never ntoiced that there are stairs going down into the gorge. What is the building at the bottom?

#517 Look, it's a Verdi!

2010-03-16T17:23:00.000-04:00

How is this company name (?) supposed to be read? Like in "Look, it's a Verdi!"? (I don't think this combination of question, quotation and exclamation mark is strictly valid but you get what I mean, don't you dear Reader?)

#516 Lake Seneca

2010-03-15T15:57:00.000-04:00

There's a Seneca Lake in Ohio and one in New York. Of course, this is the one in New York. The one in Ohio is not a tenth as nice. Just look at the people sunbathing in the Ohio Seneca Lake! So this is Seneca Lake in New York. This one has been a testing ground for submarines - I kid you not, it's on Wikipedia so it has to be true. Because it's so long and deep and everything it contains half the water of all the Finger Lakes. Lake Cayuga: Shame on you for being so small. It should be noted however, that Seneca Lake is stealing water from Keuka Lake (the outlet of K.L. flows into the inlet of S.L.).

#515 Blue Stockings

2010-03-14T19:56:00.000-04:00

Great advertising! Ithaca Roller Derby Girls were posing in a downtown Ithaca store. Now that we have two teams, the SufferJets and the Blue Stockings, we can Rock'n'Roll twice as much!

#514 snowy path

2010-03-13T21:39:00.003-05:00

I am not happy. We had a few days of really nice weather and now it's raining and grey and brrrr (just in time for the weekend and our guest to arrive). So to illustrate that I dug out a snow photo from one or two weeks ago.

#513 Hundreds of bottles

2010-03-12T21:49:00.000-05:00

After yesterday and the day before, here are some glass bottles for a change.

#512 Cooking Oil Research 2: Wegmans

2010-03-11T21:44:00.002-05:00

Here's the number two store in Ithaca for cooking oil variety (number one is here). Why did I do that? Turns out that roboticists occasionally work with cooking oil...

#511 Cooking Oil Research 1: Tops

2010-03-10T21:44:00.001-05:00

So recently I ended up doing some research on cooking oils. Turns out Wegmans has by no means the largest selection in Ithaca. Wegmans has about 60 different oils, the Tops nearby has almost twice as much. Here's the photo to proof it.

#510 Taughannock Falls

2010-03-09T17:58:00.000-05:00

Every time we go on a wine tour we stop by Taughannock Falls. See some earlier photos of Taughannock falls on this blog: #133, #138, #298.

#509 Blue Sky means No Snow

2010-03-08T18:03:00.000-05:00

After a week of snow and snow (and some more snow) it is delightful to see the blue sky and have some spring-y temperatures out there. Emphasis being on "out there" because I am in here.

#508 Neubert Wine

2010-03-07T17:58:00.000-05:00

Imagine my surprise when - on our recent wine tour - I found that there is a wine named after my family!

#507 Snow Plow

2010-03-06T11:39:00.000-05:00

Today shall be the last snow picture because it seems like it's getting spring out there. Yay!

#506 Starship Enterprise stuck in snow

2010-03-05T11:38:00.000-05:00

That's the Spaceship Enterprise Cocktail Bar library windows (camouflaged into the Libe slope) photographed during the winter storm last week. Few hours later you could only see a white wall through these windows.

#505 Where is my car?

2010-03-04T11:32:00.000-05:00

Not only bikes got buried in snow, VW beetles did so, too.

#504 No Cycling Today

2010-03-03T11:33:00.001-05:00

With these amounts of snow on the ground even the bravest cyclist (that's me) left his bike indoors.

#503 Iced Bridge

2010-03-03T00:01:00.002-05:00

This bridge is the usual end spot for my (almost) daily walk through the woods by Ithaca High School. It was taken last week during the Big Storm. I love how I managed to frame the bridge with all the snowy branches and I love the muted green against the frosty background. In the spring, summer and fall, you can stand on the bridge and watch the beavers swim around.

#502 Digging

2010-03-02T17:44:00.002-05:00

This blogger's family got a new addition this weekend. Here he is, digging around in the snow.

#501 Road Signs

2010-03-01T17:42:00.001-05:00

We went snowshoeing this weekend, with the dogs, to celebrate the large amounts of snow we had at the end of last week. The snowshoes really help when the snow is this deep!

#500 Where's my bike???

2010-02-28T11:27:00.002-05:00

Bikes outside Olin Library on Cornell Campus.

#499 The Slopestorm

2010-02-27T11:29:00.001-05:00

Snowpocalypse in Ithaca. This picture was taken Friday morning on Cornell's slope (the building in the background is Willard Straight Hall). Only a few of the paths were cleared and some decent winter boots were essential for keeping your feet warm and dry. Since we moved to Ithaca 1&3/4 years ago this is the first day where winter lives up to the expectations that people's stories had created in my mind.

#498 Snowy trees

2010-02-26T00:01:00.004-05:00

Lovely snowy trees outside the defunct movie theatre.

#497 Ithaca Falls Under Snow

2010-02-25T13:00:00.003-05:00

We've had a lot of snow today. This was taken by Ithaca Falls.

#496 Colour Palette

2010-02-24T00:01:00.000-05:00

I love the combination of all these colours and I'm looking forward to more colour in the spring!

#495 Newark Valley Thrift Store

2010-02-23T11:51:00.002-05:00

Okay, so not quite Ithaca, but still in the area. This is the stairway at the Newark Valley thrift store, complete with electric chair to carry the old folks up to the second floor. And no, sadly, it doesn't work.

#494 The fun starts here...

2010-02-22T23:56:00.000-05:00

Where does the fun start? Here...

#493 Physical effects of bouncy castle's

2010-02-21T18:55:00.000-05:00

So at that Chilifest you could ride a mechanical bull (just like every year I guess). The bull is in the middle of an inflated bouncy castel style thing. And here are the safety rules. I think they are wrong. You may experience a spongy surface? Wrong. You will. I also like the part where they say: "If you are disabled, go bugger off."

#492 Ithaca Chilifest 2010

2010-02-20T23:51:00.000-05:00

So today was the day of the annual Chilifest in Ithaca. The posters said the fest was on till 4pm. When we arrived at 3pm most stalls were already gone. At Broetchen we were the first in line to see the empty pot (just like last year by the way). The few stalls that were still there had the usual long lines. And the picture shows the bouncy castle in it's non-bouncy state.

#491 Nuclear Fallout Shelter

2010-02-19T23:48:00.000-05:00

Do you know where your next Fallout Shelter is? Well, I didn't until today. In case you are not in the know: A fallout shelter is the place where you go when the Russians attack or when your local nuclear power plant blows up. Our local shelter is the Women's Community Building (conveniently just around the corner from our apartment) which the city considers replacing with cheap (or "affordable") flats.

Wikipedia says: "Effective public shelters can be the middle floors of some tall buildings or parking structures, or below ground level in most buildings with more than 10 floors. The thickness of the upper floors must form an effective shield, and the windows of the sheltered area must not view fallout-covered ground that is closer than 1.5 km (1 mi)."

#490 Gorge Trail Impassable - still

2010-02-18T23:51:00.000-05:00

Yeah, the gorge trail is still impassable. They never really fixed it after last winter. Instead they spent a lot of money on putting big fences up. I walked the trail a few times last year and it was fine (while being closed). Seems like Health & Safety is killing the gorge :(

#489 Railing

2010-02-17T05:41:00.000-05:00

I noticed this beautiful hand rail while walking around downtown Ithaca today. While the stairs are crumpling away this old (?) beauty is holding up strong.

#488 Frozen Falls

2010-02-16T11:42:00.000-05:00

These are the little falls of Fall Creek at the bottom of the george trail. They look beautiful in the frozen state. Unfortunately, it started thawing over the last few days (and freezing again at night) so the beauty might vanish soon.

#487 Dude? Wear pants. It's winter.

2010-02-15T23:29:00.000-05:00

What's wrong with these people who walk around in shorts and T-shirt in winter? I mean, yeah, it was a warm day, just above freezing (I am talking about the freezing at 0C or 32F). But not even an Inuit would wear a T-Shirt in that weather. Yet, there are a few undergrads who don't seem to own appropriate clothes. Is it a money issue? Or a matter of pride? I don't get it.

#486 Angry Electricity

2010-02-14T13:29:00.001-05:00

This was on the building on the jetty that sticks sticks out of the golf course, right where Cascadilla Creek and Fall Creek join and spill out into the lake. I especially like the person's tongue sticking out.

#485 Where is it?

2010-02-13T23:33:00.000-05:00

Hah. Now I got you! The last "Where is it?" quizzes where way to easy for you guys. But this one is not. In fact I am so sure that no one figures out where this is that I offer a drink to anyone who does. The rules: Exact location within 50m please. The drink is only redeemable in Ithaca. If you are somewhere else you either have to wait until I am coming to your town or you are in bad luck.

#484 Segway Spotting

2010-02-12T15:47:00.000-05:00

This blurry picture documents the first spotting of a Segway in Ithaca. I wonder if a Segway would make it up Buffalo St though...

#483 Puddle depth as a function of wheel diameter

2010-02-11T15:39:00.000-05:00

Seeing this triggered the question in my brain: Is there a puddle deep enough so that when you park in it and it freezes you cannot get out? What's the limit there. Puddle depth = 0.5 * wheel diameter?

#482 The Storm

2010-02-10T11:54:00.002-05:00

N. Tioga Street during the "big winter storm" we are apparently getting. Granted that Ithaca has more snow than my previous home (just outside of San Francisco), but it's nowhere near as snowy as the people whom I told that I was moving there would have liked me to believe. Still, it's very pretty.

#481 Northstar

2010-02-09T00:00:00.001-05:00

An evening out at Northstar. Great beer selection and far more pleasant than its predecessor.

#480 Green

2010-02-08T11:47:00.001-05:00

Taken while walking the dog. It's nice to see a bit of green this time of year.

#479 Frozen Fall Creek

2010-02-07T21:17:00.001-05:00

Taken from the Cayuga Street crossing over Fall Creek. My husband took this photo while on a walk with the dog. It's worth clicking on the image and looking at the larger version: you'll see all the pretty snowflakes.

#478 Ant Bar

2010-02-06T00:01:00.001-05:00

Pancho Villa's Mexican Restaurant and Bar is slowly taking down its sign. I thought this was an amusing way to leave it.

#477 Young Stock

2010-02-05T00:01:00.007-05:00

Feeding time at Hunter Vale Farm, just outside of Ithaca. This is a field of 2 and 3 year olds, waiting for their morning hay.

#476 Halsey Creek Shelves

2010-02-04T00:01:00.002-05:00

One of my favourite things about having people come to visit you in Ithaca is taking them to all the gorges and waterfalls, because there's a fairly good guarantee they are getting to see things that they haven't seen before. So the trip to Taughannock Falls was in order when my friend Jessie came to town. This is a picture of one of the many "shelves" you encounter as you walk along Halsey Creek towards the falls.

#475 Snow crystal landscape What do you see?

2010-02-03T09:27:00.000-05:00

That's what we found last saturday on our window. So pretty. Could be a a field of grass, what do you see?

#474 Got it

2010-02-02T08:21:00.001-05:00

Yammy!

#473 Fly!

2010-02-01T09:16:00.000-05:00

That's how we got them all to fly up. One throws food high up and the other takes picture. Voila!

#472 Little food, many birds

2010-01-31T06:08:00.000-05:00

Not quite clear who got it, but I am sure it was yummy!

#471 Close up

2010-01-30T18:05:00.000-05:00

Freedom!

#470 Is that a car in Lake Cayuga?

2010-01-29T15:45:00.000-05:00

At first this picture doesn't look too special. It's Lake Cayuga (as seen from Stewart Park) with a lot of ice (last year I walked on it and it broke so I didn't try again this year). BUT on closer inspection it looks a lot like there is a car in the lake. Since only the wheels are sticking out, it'd be a good guess to say it's upside down. Does anyone miss a car? Or know how this one ended up in the lake? How long has it been there?

#469 Heathrow

2010-01-28T00:46:00.000-05:00

This photo reminds me a little of Heathrow airport where you can already see the next plane in the distance when one is just touching down. Apparently in Heathrow they schedule touchdowns as close as 90 seconds apart.

By the way: the blurry dot in the top right is the breadcrumb as explained in yesterday's post.

#468 Got it!

2010-01-27T00:42:00.001-05:00

So here's what we did. We threw breadcrumbs up in the air and waited for the birds to catch them. At the same time we tried to snap photos of the birds in action. Because the camera has a pretty significant delay between pressing the button and actually taking the picture, that was pretty tricky. In this photo it looks like the top bird just got the bread at this very instant.

#467 Go Away!

2010-01-26T00:38:00.001-05:00

The brown dude doesn't like the other dudes it seems. We had a fun photo shoot with birds in Stewart Park this week and you will see a few more of these photos through the next days.

On a different note: Please welcome Incident Alice who will help us stay on top with the duties of daily photo blogging.

#466 T-Zone

Being from Germany where every telecommunications service starts with "T-" (think T-Mobile, T-Online, T-Net, T-Privacydebacle, etc). That's why it took me a year to figure out that this label is not for free wifi.

#465 Fall Creek during Monsoon

2010-01-24T21:10:00.000-05:00

This is Fall Creek, usually a little creek, now a pretty violent river. Is this a sign that winter is over now?

#464 CTB Chalkboard Menu

2010-01-23T21:01:00.000-05:00

The fashion of having the menu written artfully on a chalkboard was new to me when I arrived in Ithaca. Here's a sample from CTB (that is College Town Bagles for you non-Ithacan readers).

By the way: We are recruiting fellow Ithacans as contributors for this blog. Applications are accepted in the comments box below.

#463 Where is it?

2010-01-22T09:16:00.000-05:00

Now here is a Where Is It? quiz for all you blog readers and twitter readers of IthacaDailyPhoto that I think is pretty tough. Unless, of course, you walk this path daily - in which case I would like to ask you to keep your mouth shut. Solutions are accepted in the comments below or on Twitter @jonemo or @cojofra.

#462 Hell freezing over

2010-01-21T09:18:00.000-05:00

Whenever our window looks like this, I am reminded of the phrase "hell freezing over".

#461 Dewitt and the Rays of Light

2010-01-20T09:19:00.002-05:00

Ithaca can be pretty spooky at night. While I personally think it is safe to walk the street (easy assumption for a tall, reasonably fit guy) the streets are empty and there are many dark corners. This photo is of Dewitt Mall on some Monday night around 11pm when coming back from Trivia at Coroba (or whatever that Trivia place is called).

#460 Unfortunate...

2010-01-19T08:57:00.001-05:00

#459 Remember, there is a new schedule!

2010-01-18T09:18:00.000-05:00

TCAT changed their schedule on Sunday. This means route 10 is not running every 10 minutes any more and should therefore not really be called Route 10 any longer.

#458 Snow is nice...

2010-01-17T08:56:00.000-05:00

Snow is nice, muddy roads not so much.

#457 Here's an idea

2010-01-16T20:24:00.000-05:00

This photo was not taken in Ithaca but in beautiful Uberlingen in Germany. This bookshelf is a project they recently started there. The rules of the shelf are: Anyone can put books into the shelf. Anyone can take a book. If you take the last book, you have to replace it. That's it. And it seems to work. What a cool idea. Let's set one up in Ithaca!

#456 c.f.

2010-01-15T13:54:00.000-05:00

Compare for #135. What do you notice? Exactly, there is more snow in Yellow Barn State Forrest than there was in March 09.

#455 Winter Landscape near Dryden

2010-01-14T14:50:00.000-05:00

Dear reader,

You know what's a shame? When you post a picture that you think is really beautiful but can't come up with an appropriate text. It happened to me yesterday and the same again today.

Regards,
Jonas

#454 Country Roads

2010-01-13T22:48:00.002-05:00

The Dryden wastelands after some lake effect snow.

#453 Lonely rider

2010-01-12T22:10:00.000-05:00

X Country skiing. Quiz: where is it???

Hint 1: You can rent skis, poles and shoes for $15 per set per 24h period from Cornell COE.

Hint 2: Don't know what Cornell COE is? Google it.

Hint 3: Please please please don't go there to rent skis when we are there. We hate waiting in line.

#452 Lost and found

2010-01-11T22:10:00.001-05:00

That's my glove waiting for my hand to come back.

#451 Endless

2010-01-10T22:09:00.000-05:00

Well, actually not quite endless. It ends at that road where you turn left and go over the bridge when you try to go to Boston. Know where I mean?
