fall colours @ uiuc.edu - 2 november, 2002
the leaves turned later this year than usual and will be gone before long. decided to take these pix before they completely disappeared. lovely afternoon today after a freezing night last night. not much by way of subject matter - was just trying to get a lot of colour...
the illini union building and the main quad (the original university area with a huge central lawn that has all these old buildings around it).
still in the general quad area but looking toward the krannert center for performing arts (www.kcpa.uiuc.edu).
still on the quad. trying to give the individual dying/dead leaves some attention!
flaming tree - thought it looked great against the brick of the foreign languages building.
that's the observatory on the right.
interesting bush (didn't know this one changed color too) right off the quad
looking towards the quad. not a very exciting shot - but it does capture the feel of a typical day.
from right outside the main library building.
from near the education building. i like the way the pink leaves in the ground look here.
education building...
close up of same trees as in prev pix
other side of education building
altgeld hall. i think its the oldest building on campus. the belltower rings out every quarter hour and at 10 to 1 every day it plays a 10 minute long piece. i have a class here this sem (this is also the math dept)
fall colours right outside the engg hall where i TA the mathematica class.
beckman institute (where i work) and the engg quad (the other big grassy area with buildings all around it).
near the engg quad. actually, if you go another 100 metres on this road, you reach my earlier apartment.
entrance to beckman institute
looking up at the main beckman tower.
view out from the beckman entrance of the engg quad. thats the engg library in teh background. you can tell i was getting tired and on my way back into the building :-)
hope you liked these. sujai (2 november, 2002)
