and boy, am i tired.

i’m kicking myself for not having taken a camera with me - i thought about it, then decided i’d be too tired/studying/whatever to have a chance to take photos. the architecture is gorgeous. i finally resigned myself to using my phone, ‘cuz i hadn’t even brought a sketchbook.

sometimes i’m an idiot. anyway, one of the greek revival buildings:

arcade

not a bad shot, really, but i wanted to get a better shot of the top arch. i wound up piecing it together, and as you can see that didn’t work out so hot.

arcade detail (sorta)
