Summer nights on Trinity College’s campus are quiet but the paths and buildings remain as effulgent as ever. There’s a luminous quality to this aerial view that really captures the sensory experience of exploring the quads by night.

Long Walk Indomitable
The monolithic shadowed face of Trinity College’s Long Walk is particularly dramatic as morning sunshine bounces from the leaves of the surrounding trees.
(And yes, I’m still six months behind processing pictures. And autumn in New England looks great.)
LSC Solar
Looking over the campus rooftops (and their cozy position in the hills around them), the difference between old and recently renovated is readily apparent in a transformation from black to white-with-solar-panels.
Relaxing on the Quad After Finals
After the stress of final exams tapers away, seniors have a week to kill time before graduating—and where better to spend it than catching rays on the quad?
Fall at the Red Brick Campus
Red bricks match red leaves on every tree—except for those elms that stubbornly refuse to turn until months later.
638 Miner Garden
Since leaving the North Country, I haven’t frequently looked back, but this drone image of the expansive garden of a Miner Street homestead stood out in ways that made me surprised I hadn’t shared it years ago.
LSC and Hartford
With Hartford’s skyline looking on in the background, the brutalist facade of Trinity College’s LSC matches the carefully graded dirt of its adjacent quad before a thick layer of new sod was applied.
Connecticut State Office Building
Bushnell Theater and the Connecticut State Office Building across the street look warm and inviting in the dusk light—friendly in a way I wouldn’t otherwise associate with massive facades.
Night Over Northern Connecticut
Rolling northern Connecticut hills hide the bright lights of the distant city just over the horizon, scattered from post-thunderstorm clouds once the sunlight vanishes.
Never So Glad to See Sunrise Over Spanish Mountains
After our redeye flight from Madrid to New York turned around halfway over the Atlantic due to mechanical issues, I’ve never been so happy to see sunrise on dry land.
Return Flight, Return Light
Somewhere high above Texas (I’m sure a local could recognize the town from the shape of the river), the sun went down and the lights of the villages turned on.
Bushnell Tower After the Rain
Bushnell Tower’s stark concrete looks particularly textured and entrancing as it dries after a rain storm
Down a Hartford Canyon
The tiny people on the sidewalks below structures like the Gold Building provide an impactful sense of scale to this drone image of Downtown Hartford.
Quiet Snow on the Long Walk
Midwinter break left the normally bustling Long Walk of Trinity College empty for a moment but a quiet post-snowfall sunset cast shadows into the footsteps the students left behind.
Gentle Light on Travelers Tower
Can you spot the Moon hiding in the clouds behind Travelers Tower? Blue hour images like this one used to be a long effort on my part to find my way into and climb to the top of some building… Now, they’re the result of nearly trivial efforts on the part of my drone. Architecture photography really has changed.
