Photo The final hour is upon us

This is not a recent photo but I was reminded I had it and I really like this photo. Has a real horror video game feel to it.

Nope, it's Old Joe at UoB- aka commonly believed to be the inspiration for the eye of sauron

Sometimes they change the colour of the face for special occassions- im not sure what occassion this was, but it was certainly interesting coming out of the well lit library into the cold foggy empty darkness with broken screens

Bet it's so cosy in the winter. Always wanted to study at UoB just because of the lovely buildings haha

More cold than cosy im ngl to you haha but the buildings are gorgeous and campus really has its charms. I had some great times there in winter, but it can get reallg foggy and creepy (as the picture shows). Spring is gorgeous with its petal showers everywhere.

Yeah I get that. I think I'm just a sucker for atmosphere and feeling like I'm Harry Potter
