lazy on the quad

One more from our trip to JMU last weekend. Oh, to be a college student again to lay around in the shade with little a care in the world! Or not. I seem to recall that I have more leisure time now than I did then despite its being chronically misspent.

forbes center

The entry foyer of the Forbes Center has some spectacularly curvy benches with clean lines to contrast with the decidedly angular and squared-off windows of the exterior. It's a spectacular building. I wish I knew more about interior architecture photography.

across the quad

For the last of the Wilson Hall photos, here's a decidedly different take from the interior of the new Forbes Center. It's a strikingly modern building. Very photogenic.

cupola attempt numero dos

I took photos of this iconic building on JMU's campus from many different angles. It sits atop Wilson Hall at the head of the quad. It's named for Woodrow Wilson, who was born in nearby Staunton.

high noon

High noon is not the best time for taking photographs. I did the best I could with the hand I was dealt when we arrived in Harrisonburg on a daytrip to see James Madison University's campus. My better half had a great time showing me around her alma mater. It's a lot different from the campus where I matriculated. In December, I'll finally get the chance to show her my old stomping grounds.
