Northam and the Chapel in Summer
Connecticut’s Central Valley is a leafy, green place in the summer; Trinity’s neogothic towers jut from the canopy in conveniently contrasting colors.
Symmetry and Asymmetry Along a Plane
With my quadcopter hovering along the diagonal axis of Trinity College’s chapel’s steeple, the mirror symmetry of that structure is easily apparent—and stands in contrast to the shapes of the building beneath it among the leafy green trees.
Northam Hall Stands Against the Summer Sun
The facade of Northam Hall has become an iconic symbol of Trinity College, and when surrounded by summer foliage and nearly silhouetted by the summer sun, I can understand why.
Reunion Sky 2024
Another June brings another set of reunions to Trinity’s campus, but the experience is notably different now that I’m a faculty member who walks across this quad every weekday on my way to the office.
Warm Light Chapel
Golden summer light lands perfectly on Trinity’s chapel with the Hartford skyline in the distance.
Looong Walk
Trinity College’s Long Walk lives up to its name.
Sun Behind the Chapel
Sunset light shining through the bells of Trinity College’s chapel is an entirely new sight for me.
Towers in the Arboretum Campus
This central section of Trinity College’s campus was announced as a new addition to the National Register of Historic Places on the anniversary of the College’s founding 201 years ago.
Spring Light Lasts Longest (on the Field)
Delicate, not-fully-chlorophyll’ed spring foliage may be bright on its own, but being the only objects still tall enough to catch the sunlight once Trinity’s Long Walk gets in the way really makes the campus’s trees stand out all the more.
Arboretum Campus
An aerial view makes it even less surprising that Trinity College was recently classified as an arboretum. The warm spring evening air between their branches makes for perfect sensory inputs.
Spring Light Highlights the Long Walk
Though a city might not seem like the most obvious place to celebrate Earth Day, I’ve honestly been astonished since my move to Hartford just how many big old trees shelter the city. Between the greenery and the public transportation, this place gives me some optimism.
Spring Elm on the Quad
With the right perspective, this old elm can tower over even the top of the chapel on a just-post-storming spring evening.
Northam Sun
Bright spring light graces the rooftops and treetops of Trinity College, even at the end of the day.
A Spring Morning at Trinity College
Perfect, breezy, warm, and effulgent spring days have sprawled across Trinity’s campus, rather like students on the quad. Grading papers in my office can at least be softened by an open window and the resulting smell of flowers.
