While looking through my iPhoto album, I came across this photo of my campus in the fall, taken a few years ago. I liked it, so you get to look at it, too. It’s taken right outside my building, and you can see the pond where my ducklings reside (but not for long; they’re big and have wings now):
Gorgeous, the light, the profusion, the textures. The uni must have a copy for display.
Don’t forget you can do mini panoramic photos to capture a bit more on the edges … nice!
Its beautiful, really beautiful
Envy here. Neither as at my undergrad college, two grad school stops, or where I worked (W&M, U Richmond, Rutgers, U Pittsburgh, resp) did the Biology bldg(s) have landscaping that attempted to pay any particular tribute to the natural world.
(At Rutgers it was so sterile on the Busch Campus that on a number of occasions I went out near midnight and planted some trees. Nobody ever stopped to ask what the hell I was doing!) On a stop there some yrs back it was somewhat satisfying to find that many of those were still there. There’s also a Pedunculate (aka English) Oak at Pitt that I started from an acorn (available on inquiry).
Good for you. Sounds dangerous, but, hey, you only live once.
One of my greatest pains in the neck is the way developers clear-cut property before they build a house. Instead of integrating the house with the environment, they scrap nature and go for a sterile, denuded look. Most home buyers don’t seem to mind though, it seems. Frank Lloyd Wright was a prominent advocate of integrating, of course, and the attitude can be found in Chinese and Japanese traditions.
Fabulous photo.
Lovely!
It’s a wonderful picture. I never knew ivy vines could turn gold like that. I thought they were evergreen.
Gorgeous picture! I’m glad you thought of us.
A little colour to our dull winter, very nice…
Wow! Beautiful!
Wow! How did you ever get any work done? Or was it inspirational to look out at that?
Beautiful.
Reminds me of the trees around UBC in Vancouver and the nearby mountain at McGill’s main campus. (Also the Ste-Hillaire research centre, but that goes without saying.)
