Sometimes we forget, I think, that we live in the shadow of the mountain. The mountains protect us from harsh winds, but bring much rain and snow.

Being on campus more days than not can make one forget how beautiful it is. There are things that are never noticed about it because they have faded into the background of our lives. This photo essay explores those things that are bypassed and looks at them in a new light.

On south prospect street, two solid stone columns and a low wall topped with jagged rocks guard the entrance to Redstone Green, but at times it feels like the entrance to another world. (Mary McLellan)
