Campus Color
Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 14 November 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
There was still plenty of Fall color to be found on the Princeton Campus. The gorgeous buildings make quite a backdrop.
To see a much larger version go here.

Beautiful framing of this shot Laurie. I really think the colour contrasts (although slight) between the structure and the orange leaves really compliment one another.

It's a beautiful building, fit for a princess! Great composition with the beautiful golden autumn leaves in contrast with the lovely structure of this 'castle'!

Another wonderful photo - you've captured the colours beautifully. And you're right - the buildings make a superb backdrop.

Hi Laurie....the colour in those autumn leaves is stunning and, as you say, the castle makes a wonderful backdrop!

It sings of AUTUMN, and a return to the campus! Growing up in the deep coastal South, we just didn't get much of this look. I always envied those who lived further north and "up East" who saw this (and snow) every year.

What a beautiful combination the weighty looking building makes with the lightness of those leaves and branches. Lovely autumn colours, too.

I love the leaves bursting in gold framing the beautiful and interesting architecture. I would be all over that campus with my camera, especially in fall. Very nice Laurie.

I have not been to Princeton in years. Believe it or not, I applied to the seminary in Princeton back when I had my "mid-life crisis." I really enjoyed my time there and on the university campus. I eventually elected not to pursue that. Actually it was something my brother said, "John, sometimes the only thing we are called to be is a decent person." Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

A nice opposition between the "Human walls made of rocks" and the "nature", and for a certain reason, the nature is dominant on this picture :P. Nice shot
