This barn cat at the Ethel Walker School’s stable really has no time for my shenanigans.

Tall Windows in Snow
While we’re contemplating the architecture of Clement Chemistry Building, I don’t think I’ve previously considered the way in which the dark sculptural stone sections connect together the windows on the second and third floors to make these big, tall, dramatic, dark pillars up each side of the building—almost reminiscence of the tall stained-glass windows of a cathedral.
Potomac in Mather Gorge
After the rain had passed over Madeira School, the view of the Potomac running through Mather Gorge opened up between the trees.
Clement in Snow
The bold gothic shapes of Clement Chemistry Building are extra-sharp beneath a layer of snow and scattered with golden sunset light.
Rider with the Crest
Piper riding Sundae at Kent has provided some opportunities for charming shots, like this one that happened to align perfectly with the cross in the bottom of their school seal.
Piper & Sundae
Seeing Piper Klemm with her horse, Sundae, makes it easy to understand why she loves riding so much.
Thankful for Sundae
Sundae was the horse that brought Piper back to riding. He’s now semi-retired at the Kent School, but Piper still gets to visit and ride around the eventing fields every so often. They make quite the pair!
Night Comes to Jarvis
Trinity College’s Long Walk was my home for four years, and I still find its warm evening glow to be comforting.
École Militaire
This building sits opposite the Eiffel Tower down the Champs de Mars… How appropriate it was to have a military school at the end of a greenspace named for the Roman god of war.
Early Spring Bridge
Winter’s lockdown continues (it might warm up above -10ºF today!), but spring will eventually return. The footbridge to SUNY Canton will eventually be free of ice and the smallest hints of leaves will peak out from the tree branches.
Afternoon in Paris
An early winter afternoon on a Parisian street means the minimal aliquot of sunlight peaking between buildings and turning the pedestrians to silhouettes. School just let out in the 15th arrondissement and parents walk their squads of enfants home.
Mighty Oak
This dorm along Trinity College’s Long Walk was my home in college, and this massive oak was outside my window. On returning for my ten-year reunion, there was a degree of satisfaction in seeing the tree still standing.
Spectroscopy Lab
Approaching the summer solstice, the start of fall-semester classes and their attendant labs seems far away, but a new class of St. Lawrence first-year students will be here before I know it.
This was one of the light sources students were interrogating: a sodium lamp, like the ones used in street lights (at least in the twentieth century—LED street lamps are becoming increasingly dominant now.)
Fog

Selective Lighting
Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai in Manhattan towers above its neighbors and, for the most part, stands apart architecturally.
(Photographed the right way, it looks like some sort of cyberpunk corporate headquarters.)
