Ormond in Fall

Kersti and I took some photos before playing tennis and basketball the other day. It is late autumn now, and the weather has gotten colder and the trees have changed colour. But we are enjoying our life at Resort Ormond. Because Ormond has its own water tanks to collect rainwater, they can water their gardens unlike most of Australia. It is so nice to come home after work downtown to the quiet of the campus, it makes it really easy to forget that your livining in a big city. I am playing basketball for the Ormond team, and will be giving a seminar in a couple weeks on the Australian energy market. Kersti has been tutoring classes and wrapping up her classes this term as well. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

The roses and signs of autumn


They keep everything green! The two trees on the right side of the picture may be Australia's only redwood trees.


We make good use of the basketball and tennis courts (which are rarely used by the students, unfortunately)

The great hall from the outside where we dine (including formal dinners).
