she gave me The Look
Here’s the lovely and talented Miss Hannah Harvey, in her first year at the College of William and Mary. Check out that look on her face!! She’s quite sardonic when she wants to be.

tucker hall
This building, which dates from the early 1900s, was William and Mary’s first free-standing library building.
Also, it is reported to be haunted by the ghost of a student who died by suicide on the third floor of the building in the 1980s.
Accocrding to a not-at-all over-the-top article posted by the Williamsburg Ghost Tour folks, the hauntings may not actually be a ghost, but could possibly be demons, which are, like, really scary and bad and stuff. (“Demons, however, are evil and won’t hesitate to bring harm to the living. They’re known to disguise themselves as ghosts or spirits pretending to need help and won’t hesitate to make their presence known. Many people confuse these classifications and if the mistake’s made, it’s potentially harmful to those in the area. It’s advised that if a spirit does try to harm a human, to call an exorcist or seek professional help.“)
All that aside, I liked the pattern of the floor tile.

this guy*
I found this dude hanging out on the William and Mary campus the other day. He seemed to be enjoying the fall weather (as was I), and I assume that he was reflecting upon his own student days there, both as an undergrad and as a law student (whose law professor was Thomas Jefferson).
Or maybe he was thinking about that one time when he was the President of the United States, the way former presidents do.

I started the run of photos from my trip with a sunset, so I guess it makes sense to end with a sunrise…
The way those waves were backlit by the rising sun fascinated me: it reminds me of molten glass. And you can go ahead and relax because I will only post this one image (of the 100 or so that I made of the exact same thing).

ivy league (sort of)
The cemetery chapel was covered with ivy that was just starting to think about putting on its fall reds, which would have been a beautiful display. But, really, I didn’t hate the way it looked when I saw it, and especially liked the way the wavy gold glass was peeking through the leaves.
