Quadrangle.

There was method in the madness. Einstein came to Manchester in 1921 to give a lecture on Relativity and the University gave him an honorary doctorate. He posed for photos somewhere here. He also went to the Whitehouse and posed with the president, W.G Harding the same year, so the images I found on line said Manchester but the guy in the image with Einstein looks like Harding. It's not worth a thread but I will post some of the images here from work tomorrow, plenty of Einstein buffs on PF!

Here somewhere?

Old Quadrangle was mentioned, here it is with some Chinese New Year.

My search suggests it Harding with Einstein in the US 1921 not Manchester. Never mind.

This week's round of pics. As usual, of all the pics I consider "keepers" of the week, only an appropriate subset are shown here.

Figure 1. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH.

Figure 2. "Educate. Demonstrate. Stop hate." Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH.

Figure 3. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. I've included this one here on PF to show off the lens. It's a significant crop. I was a fair distance away and took this one with just 35 mm focal length. I had to crop way in, but the detail is still there. The rangefinder mechanism was used for manual focus (the setup I was using only supports manual focus). The lens shows some chromatic aberration (you can see some green or purple fringing [green in this case] in high contrast areas), but other than that I'm very impressed with the setup.
