UVA Rotunda without scaffolding

A fuzzy film photo of my son Jonathan at his graduation from the University of Virginia, May 18, 1997.

Wonderful graduation photo. That’s a great building!

Thank you, Diane! It is difficult to believe this is the same building!

It must be the angle of the older photo that hides the dome. When I first saw it, I was thinking "Back to the Future" ha ha!

Looks like the angle blocks the rotunda but it's still just as elegant in the past as it is now.
