Robert Stout & Stephanie Jurs mosaic in the entrance rotunda of the Hannon Library – Southern Oregon University
I have taken quite a few photos of the Hannon Library on the SOU campus over the years, but somehow this is only the second one to make it on the blog. Grizzly Peak can be seen covered in snow in the distance of today’s photo. I took this picture a year ago, and Churchill Hall was undergoing renovations at the time.
SOU’s Plunkett Center (home of the SOU Foundation) in the snow
The snow has all melted in Ashland now, but we are heading up to Mount Ashland for some fun in the snow today. Today’s photo was the scene on my way to campus this past Tuesday morning.
Southern Oregon University campus on a foggy morning
As I mentioned on my other blog, I picked up a new Nikon D600 last week. After a few test shots to see if there was any dust or oil on the sensor direct from the factory (there wasn’t), this was my very first pic with my new camera body. It was a foggy morning on the SOU campus when I took this picture.
SOU on Halloween (2012)
On Halloween I had to give a test during the annual, Ashland Halloween parade. I think this was only the second time I have missed the Halloween parade in 11 years. The other time I was in Japan watching their version of a Halloween parade. Rain was falling for the beginning of the test, but by the time I walked out of my classroom in Taylor Hall at 5:30 the rain had stopped and the campus was empty. Upon seeing this scene I realized I should go get my camera.
Near the end of the last school year, construction began on a new “gateway” sign for Southern Oregon University on the corner of Siskiyou Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. It took months before the project was complete, but the new sign was ready before courses began again at SOU in September. Now that the landscaping doesn’t look so brand new and artificially placed, I decided to take a photo of it on a glorious fall afternoon earlier this week. The Plunkett Center can be seen a bit through the leaves in today’s pic.

SOU's Hannon Library at dusk
Back to school today after a long, holiday weekend. Many colleges and universities are already done for the school year, but SOU is on the quarter system which means another couple weeks of school.
