The Three Centurions

Today is my 300th blip, and as hoped, I've managed to continue a little theme I've got going on for each century of blips.
Each 100th blip is an (often iconic) impressive man-made structure, and whilst the building above is certainly not as well-known as blips one hundred and two hundred I think it's pretty nice, and is certainly iconic in the context of Gwangju's plethora of right angles, which I've moaned about before.
It is the main building on the campus of Chosun University, and the area is one of only a handful of genuinely quiet spaces in the city. I teach a class here on Saturday mornings and as the sun had his hat on today, me and the wife decided to grab chai tea lattes and hang out there for a while, relaxing, chatting and watching what looked like a very one-sided football match.

I've heard it bandied about in the past that this is also the longest university building in the world, and whilst I have my doubts, it is pretty long. My blip doesn't really do it justice (it's on the side of a hill so you have to be up close to snap it, making it impossible to fit it all in) but you can check out a picture of the full campus here, the main building looking long and impressive up on the side of the mountain.

My 100th blip is here
And this is number 200.
I also noticed all three blips were taken in different countries. Not sure I'll be able to keep that one going by the time four hundred rolls around.

Don't forget to go large for a better look.
