School Days Dressed in Ivy

The University of Alberta was founded in 1908 by a group of men headed up by Premier Rutherford. Today it is one of the top universities in Canada.
I love to go to there and just walk around the campus. The buildings are great to look at and the landscape is wonderful. There are so many places to just sit and relax and watch all the activity around you.
This is one of my favorite buildings on campus. The Arts building was built in 1915. There is just something about it that just seems to stand out to me.

A beautiful classic old building!

Oh - and happy 100th 365 shot!

[bruni]

They don't make them like that anymore..no comparison to the modern
building in the background.

[bkb in the city]

@bruni That is so true. I wish that someone could take a look at these old buildings and get a little inspiration from them

[bkb in the city]

@alscarrott3 Thanks for the comment on the shot and the fact that it was my 100th pic. I didn't even realize that

[CK]

Beautiful classic and interesting contrast against the 'modern' one behind!

[bruni]

@bkbinthecity When I received your comment by e-mail I was again surprised that someone (you) had a profile picture included. I've asked so many lately how its done..no reply as yet. so I tried figuring it out myself and the only way I can see it is if I attached my profile URL to my comment. will you please let me know if that's how its done and if infact my picture is included.

[Sheralee S]

Nice 100th shot :)

[Janet Morris]

Very grand looking buildings and sits well along side the newer ones.

[Diane]

Beautiful building--I love the architectural details. Nice angle, too, showing the trees.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think this building is where they get the phrase "the ivy halls of acadamia. I can see why it's your favorite- it is beautiful. Nice shot!

[photoite]

i agree it makes me smile - please keep in mind - your framing - lighting - composition - gives life to this shot

@summerfield I think that is what I love the most about the outside of the building
