About You might ask why the title? Well, just about every US college claims a mascot. Mascots are believed to bring good luck, especially to athletic teams. The University of Kansas is home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history.

This scene is the World War II Memorial Campanile, unquestionably the most distinguished landmark at the University of Kansas. It was constructed in 1950 to honor the 276 students and faculty who died serving their country in World War II. Their names are engraved in the Virginia Greenstone on the east and west walls of the Memorial Room at the base of the tower. The 120-foot Campanile, built of native Kansas Limestone, contains a 53-bell carillon cast by the John Taylor Bellfoundry, Loughborough, England, during 1950-51. The bells ring once every hour, which can be easily heard everywhere on KU 950-acre, 1864-founded campus.

Every year as a many-year tradition, KU graduates go all the way to this top, and then walk down to the sports stadium where they will hold the graduation ceremony. Hence, this place is often referred by KU graduates as The Hill. For the graduates, walking down this hill is the most wonderful and satisfying feeling for their entire 4 years in college, with their family, friends standing along the hill sides cheering them on and taking pictures (THE most fun job with seas of smiling and energetic faces). It signifies a great milestone just accomplished while reminds them a new, more challenging yet fun journey has just begun ...

Thanks for your time.

Very well done.
The few leaves in the water at the bottom help to fill otherwise empty space.
Good composition and colour.
Shows the general scene in an interesting way.

Thank you for viewing "Photograph The Light"

I was wanted to say my youngest son's army base is Fort Riley but he is now in Iraq which I'm not too crazy about to say the least. This is a beautiful picture Excellent reflections I like the tower and the person walking along and well the colors for the trees make this a well done image.

Graham Mulrooney   {K:15728} 11/10/2003
Great composition Khoi. This is a lovely landscape picture with a brilliant reflection and the memorial adds that little bit of extra interest needed. This must be one of the clearest reflections I've seen. Colours are also great.

khoi, a perfect picture in many respects including being one of an avalanche of autumn coloured landscapes. but referring to your gratefully appreciated description, this is definitely too beautiful to remind of the atrocities of war and the toll it took and keeps on taking.
