University of Saskatchewan - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (337 images!) Part I

University of Saskatchewan - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Located adjacent to South Saskatchewan River and Downtown Saskatoon.

An attempt to capture the familiar and not so familiar has led to the creation of this photo tour. I progressed in a clockwise spiral towards the core of the campus (the Bowl) with frequent stops to capture the campus in its entirety. Starting off with perspectives from a distance which include photos of adjacent neighborhoods, businesses, roads, and agriculture research land. I eventually reach the campus and wander the roads and paths to highlight specific buildings and their arrangements. Last but certainly not least, several North and South facing photos from the top floor of the Agriculture Building(apologies for glare).

A total of 475 frames were shot. After a quick edit, I cut the tour to 337 photos. I thought about capturing the neighboring research park Innovation Place in addition to the campus but in the end decided against it, perhaps a future tour?

Very cool. I'm moving to Saskatoon to attend the U of S College of Law in September. This was a nice preview.
