excellent idea!!

This has reminded me to whip my camera out. I've been meaning to take some pictures of the campus and the surrounding area and gorges. If you know of any sweet spots that are must gets, let me know otherwise I'm just going to spend a weekend wandering around campus.

Wait until approx. October 7-15, just after the leaves have all changed.

gomestar · September 6, 2006, 11:47pm

I jotted that down. Expect a new thread around that time with some fresh pictures.

I've have this odd desire to collect a bunch of fallen leaves and store them in my apartment for a bit. Come the middle of February, I'll take them out and put them under a random tree in the arts quad. I wonder what people would think...

I suppose there are uglier places to go to college…

Speaking of the “Life on the Hill” bloggers, I noticed that the deadline for applying to become one of them next year is May 13th, in the event that any CC readers may be interested.

It’s going to be real pretty up there, real soon.
An update to this thread is long overdue, so here’s some things I scratched up a few months ago.

My wife and I came up for a weekend this summer, for the first time since my daughter left town. As always, we had a wonderful time. A tour of the plantations, a wonderful dinner and then a moonlight stroll in Stewart Park, looking out onto the lake on and after the sun set.The next morning we hit the Farmer’s Market and Wegmans (which we find to be better than our local supermarkets in the NYC suburbs!) and then drove back home.

It’s actually better there when you’re NOT a student. Because we don’t have prelims…

oldfort · September 9, 2013, 5:43pm

Welcome back. Great pictures. Going up there this weekend, hope the weather will be nice.

I came across this panoramic shot a long time ago, and then I could never find it again.
But now I did:
<a href=“Best Pic of Cornell/Collegetown I've seen - SkyscraperPage Forum”>Best Pic of Cornell/Collegetown I've seen - SkyscraperPage Forum;
I think the expanse of this photo is just amazing, from the Ag quad and North campus all the way down to Collegetown.
Just remarkable!

If you want to orient yourself to what you are looking at , it should be easy to pick out McGraw Tower and the Johnson Art Museum as landmarks, then you can compare to a campus map.

Speaking of amazing, I still remember what it’s like walking on campus when it looks like this, breathing the cool., crisp air that I could feel in my lungs. My best memories, really
"[evidently one can’t link, it’s at https www dot pinterest dot com /pin/203647214370146146 ]

Some others:

Here’s a couple of downtown ithaca:
<a href=“All sizes | Ithaca Commons | Flickr - Photo Sharing!”>https://www.■■■■■■■■■■/photos/misterdalton/2428482673/sizes/l/</a>
<a href=“All sizes | Motion | Flickr - Photo Sharing!”>https://www.■■■■■■■■■■/photos/snitch4028/4313577783/sizes/l/in/photostream/</a>

Some of these photos are from a while ago. Keep in mind they are always doing lots of significant construction, both on Cornell’s campus and in Ithaca proper. For example that panoramic shot is from 2005, it looks like they were doing a lot of construction on West campus then, around Balch. And obviously this will not show the many significant renovations and new buildings that were subsequent to the photo: Physical Science building, Martha Van, Gates Hall, etc

^ I used Control - and Control + keys to view the panoramic shot… amazing picture!! Thanks for posting it!

I also like these ones you posted:

Great ones!

Hope no one missed this one…I guess with texting and facebook these days, it is easier to organize such an event when the snow flakes are still coming down. Fun stuff!

No new pictures (from me anyway), but since a lot of people are making decisions now it seems like a good time for a bump.
