This is a campus that I was interested in in Oregon. I walked all over and checked out the different buildings and common areas. This particular area stood out to me as a beautiful place of solitude and reflection. Behind me is a small coffee shop with a few outdoor tables. The bench off to the right is where you'd find me.
The contrast of the different leaves in various shades seem to draw your eyes to the top where the blue sky adds the complimentary hue that brings the picture together. It almost forms a triangular shape. The sidewalk leads you right up the middle of the picture, almost like this is the main focus. The trees are slightly blurry and out of focus.
The colors blend in a harmonious way creating a nice balance. You can see the different shadows the sun is creating from the trees and buildings. There is texture in the trees themselves as well as the grass and leaf mixture, and the sidewalk with its cool, smooth surface. It looks like the ray of light could cut right through the trees to the left and that the red leaved tree was randomly placed there for the added pop of color. This place looks very welcoming and inviting to me. I would enjoy sipping a nice cup of coffee and relaxing after an invigorating day of classes.
