Grand Architecture

Yale’s 260 buildings include contributions from distinguished architects of every period in its history. Styles range from New England Colonial to High Victorian Gothic, from Moorish Revival to contemporary. Yale’s buildings, towers, lawns, courtyards, walkways, gates, and arches comprise what one architecture critic has called “the most beautiful urban campus in America.”

I agree. The Yale campus is pretty grand. I felt like I was walking around in Paris or London.

Serendipitous Saturday

On the train heading toward CT.

Stephen and I decided to get out of town for the day so we took the train out to New Haven CT. But to our surprise our friend from Los Angeles was visiting her parents for the holiday which was a few stops before New Haven. We made a little pit stop and had a great visit with Alexis and her parents in Westport... This town is sooo Martha Stewart! After out visit, we continued on our little journey to New Haven, home of Yale. There is not much in the sleepy town, but the Yale museum is a nice little gem amongst the amazing campus grounds. Serendipitous events continued!...their temporary exhibit was "First Doubt" Optical Confusion in Modern Photography. Hello! And it contained several photographers that I research and study. I just love when these nice surprises happen in life...
