Campus Commuter Parking

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 10 November 2008 in Transportation and Portfolio.

Princeton University is pretty close to where I live. I think it has some of the most beautiful architecture that I have ever seen. The stonework is just amazing and the colors are beyond belief.

This is a very common sight here and on most college campuses. Like most college campuses the students rely on bicycles for transportation.

I like the contrast between the modern bikes and the old architecture of the building! Lovely details and I guess the inside most have some stunning details also especially the stairways I can imagine.

Nice image. You can see the quality in the architecture. The don't make 'em like they used to, although there is lots of really interesting modern architecture around.

Just love the tones of this picture. There is something special in this image that attract my eye, cant say what it is ... Well Hey by the Way Congrat for your new D700, ive seen all your recent d700 posts ! Wow amazing even at ISO6400 ... I bought the D90 about 1 month ago, pretty satisfied with it too, well a big step from the D40 ! And still fair good at High ISO too... not as good as D700 !!! but much better than previous Dx format. Congratulation again friend

If it was a car park, it would be sad to pollute this place, but with these bikes, this is a real nice shot…
