California, USA
Stanford was founded by a railroad magnate, U.S. Senator, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles." Stanford University’s original campus opened in 1891, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for co-designing New York City's Central Park. Olmsted's design for Stanford featured a grand, open quadrangle surrounded by low-rise buildings in a Mission Revival style, which became a defining architectural feature of the campus. The main buildings were designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge of the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, under Olmsted’s guidance.

The Toronto Project:
Hi Flickr, I have been busy finishing my degree, and now I'm done!! I have finally completed my bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I just returned from a trip to Toronto. I have taken a fascination with the city in many ways and I had a list of things to do and experience there. In my three full days of staying there and shooting I experienced a lot and took 4927 photos, I walked dozons of kilometers, and visited many interesting areas. Some of the highlights include; the PATH system, Hockey Hall of Fame, Union Station, all of the major financial building complexes, CN Tower, Old City Hall, Osgoode Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kensington Market, Chinatown, Sunnybrook Park, Cabbagetown, Necropolis, Euclid Hall, Gooderham Houses, Queen's Park Legislative Buildings, All of the old colleges of the University of Toronto, Royal Conservatory of Music, Annex style houses, Yorkville Houses and firehall, Casa Loma, Spadina Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, Allen Gardens, Mackenzie House, St Michael's Church, Metropolitan United Church, Flatiron Building, St Lawrence Market, Toronto's first post office, St. Lawrence Hall, Sculpture Garden, St. James Church, Gooderham and Worts Distillary, Cherry Street Hotel, and Little Trinity Church and the surrounding neighborhood of Corktown.
This is just an image of a large series that I'm doing. The primary goal of this project is to document the diverse types of architecture that one can find in Toronto. Much of it has a British influence or American such as Richardsonian Romanesque when it comes to older buildings. But since Toronto is also a modern alpha global city and a global financial city it has a diverse and impressive amount of modern skyscrapers and post modern architecture. Its diversity is also shown in its people in that atleast 50% of the people living in Toronto weren't even born in Canada, making Toronto the world's most ethnically diverse city. It is extremely colourful and every corner has a new surprise. One can pass down the same street multiple times and stil find surprises like little shops you didn't even notice. I can't wait to return, but I need work in order to get down there again.

Victoria University was founded in 1836, the current building was built in 1892 and is a wonderful example of Richardsonian Romanesque with its low arch infront of the door and the recessed entrance. "The Truth Shall Make You Free" is written above the door.

Audimax Ruhr University Bochum
The Ruhr University Bochum was the first new university to be founded after the Second World War and was built in 1964 according to plans by Hentrich, Petschnigg & Partner. The university's Audimax forms the central point on the listed campus ensemble. It was built together with the library, administration and cafeteria in the forum area between 1971 and 1974. The Audimax serves the university as a location for celebrations, congresses and lectures. Exhibitions, trade fairs and receptions also take place in the foyer.
I think this was the deepest, darkest, sunset I have ever captured on camera. It followed our journey up to Lancaster along the motorway, the shots through the dirty windscreen which I have posted. It is taken looking West from the Sport's complex at Lancaster University. What a sight!
Green shrubbery venturing out past the cast iron fence of the University of Adelaide, along Victoria Drive. Happy Fence Friday!
Here’s another architectural abstract shot. I actually took this before the week of the theme. I went for a long photo walk with my friend Greg's Southern Ontario (catching Up Slowly). I think this is Victoria College, but Greg may correct me.
Oops, Greg corrected me -- it's University College.
The University of Guayaquil was founded in 1867 and remains one of the top institutions of higher learning in Ecuador. This is the main entrance into the campus off the street in the city center.
University of Sydney at night. Using the F1.2 lens I bought last year, I am pleased with the result.
Australians can now travel overseas, so I am planning a trip for next year, & I can't wait to use this lens for night shots around Ripper related locations in London.
