Seeing 2011 (#95)

For your consideration: the crown jewel, in my opinion, of the San Jose State University campus. Taken moments after sunset on an unusually chilly afternoon on the cusp of June, this perspective is looking south from the roof of the City parking garage across the street.

The expansive sky, given added depth by the clouds, in concert with the luscious skirting of trees masking the edifice's grounding below, yields a surprising sense that this beautiful vault of lofty ideas is indeed itself floating.
