15 March 2010: Ithaca is Gorges

I went back to my old stomping grounds for some meetings and indulged myself with some HDR photos of the gorges.

18 February 2010: A Diamond In The Rough

If you have ever been to Trinity College in Hartford, CT, you know that it is a beautiful campus surrounded but a pretty rough and gritty neighborhood. Here are a few shots of some of the campus buildings - a very old world feel!

15 February 2010: The Happy Valley

I am back in the Happy Valley doing some visits to the local colleges. The sun was shining and it was almost 40 degrees - almost a summer day! :) Wandered around Amherst College and Mount Holyoke College to take some HDR shots.

9 February 2010: Providence Pride

I was back in Providence today for a visit to Brown again. Still no Emma Watson/Hermione sighting but I did get some shots of campus and downtown. Below is a fun fact about the Brown Main Gates.

The Van Wickle Gates at Brown University are the ornamental entrance to the main campus area at the corners of College Street and Prospect Street in College Hill. The gates were built with donations by Augustus Stout Van Wickle (Class of 1876), who was the president of a bank and several coal corporations. Dedicated on June 18, 1901, the gates stand as a symbol for the campus and its long history.

The gates are made of rod iron, with brick and stone piers. The larger main gate is flanked by two smaller side gates. The top of the gate is crowned with the Brown University shield. The sides of the gates include inscriptions by Cicero. The side gates remain open throughout the year, while the center gates remain closed except for two occasions each year. At the beginning of the academic year, the center gates open inward to admit students during Convocation. At the end of the second semester, the gates open outward for the Commencement Day procession.

21 January 2010: On The Road Again

Week one down after a long hiatus. It felt good to be back on campuses, talking to students and seeing my road warrior peeps again! Another day...another campus tree!

4 March 2009 Photo: Campus Camera

With as much time as I spend on college campuses in the Northeast, I realized that I have not take many pictures on those campuses.  As I was driving through Amherst, MA tonight after dinner, I thought this evening shot with the tree shadow was intersting.
