Image 1: UCI neurologist Ian Parker has taken stunning photographs of the campus. He finds that the McDonnell Douglas Engineering Auditorium looks its best against a crimson twilight sky.
Image 2: In summer, the mountains can seem to disappear, but crystal clear air after a winter storm reveals the Angeles Crest as a snowy backdrop to the campus.
Image 3: Even the trees along East Peltason Drive are planned with geometrical precision in Irvine, Parker notes.
Image 4: Photos are all that remain of the Frank Gehry-designed Center for Embedded Computer Systems building, an individual piece of architecture now demolished to make way for something larger and less quirky.
Image 5: "I have many memories of the years when our kids attended the UCI Farm School, which was housed in original farm buildings of the Irvine Ranch," says Ian Parker. "Since the school moved off campus, the buildings are now silent and melancholy."
Image 6: An early morning mist brings stillness and a sense of mystery to Aldrich Park.
Image 7: "When I first joined UCI, cows grazed over much of the campus," Parker recalls. "That's all changed, but the ecological preserve maintains a sliver of land in its original state, contrasted with the toll road and Newport Coast developments."
