April 2024 — West Lafayette, Indiana

This photo captures a view of the First Street Towers on the Purdue University campus, specifically from the intersection of First Street and MacArthur Drive. In the immediate foreground, a wide concrete sidewalk runs horizontally, bordered by a strip of green grass. To the left, a large, bare deciduous tree with extensive, intricate branches stands prominently, its silhouette filling a significant portion of the left side of the frame, indicating an early spring or late autumn season. Another tree with sparse, light green leaves is visible to the right. Beyond the foreground, to the right of the sidewalk, MacArthur Drive is visible, with several dark-colored cars parked along its curb, and one car in motion further down the road. Behind MacArthur Drive and the trees, the First Street Towers building rises, a large brick structure with numerous windows, partially obscured by various deciduous trees that are just beginning to leaf out in shades of light green. To the left of this building, First Street can be seen extending into the distance. These trees form a natural screen, adding depth and a sense of a well-landscaped campus environment. The sky above is overcast, casting a soft, even light over the scene. The overall impression is one of a quiet, established university campus.
