Harvard in Late Afternoon

These pictures of Harvard were taken more than a week ago in the late afternoon at about 6 PM after work. They were sort of just sitting in the desktop folder, so posting them up. The sun at this time wasn’t still setting – it only really gets totally dark past 9 PM – but there was still a relatively pleasing blue sky layer. The color tones of greenery and bricks came through a little better than the earlier pictures.

Above: Widener Library. It was just after closing time again when I got here. Have to try to at least see the inside of the library once before I leave.

Above two pictures: Memorial Church, with its distinctive white spire.

Above: Memorial Hall, surprisingly devoid of visitors on group tours this time.

There were lots of people abouts, many making use of Harvard Yard as a thoroughfare to get from one point to the other. Real feat to take images without human persons in the fore or background!
