Some Light Geometry

I was on campus mid-afternoon today to run some errands and get a look at the classroom that I’ll be teaching in starting next week. I was struck by the long shadows cast by the buildings and the trees. After a week of mostly dreary weather, it was refreshing to see such sharply defined areas of sunlight and shadow.

The following were all taken on an iPhone 12 Mini and edited in Apple Photos.
