Exploring Kyung Hee University's campus

On Sunday, May 6, we finally visited the nearby university that my coworker, Robin, has often told me about. She lives near our institute and has often told me that Kyung Hee University has a beautiful campus that we should visit. She reminded me again that Friday before I left work, and so we decided to take her advice and take a walk on the university grounds in the late afternoon. The weather was lovely and the lighting perfect. We really enjoyed our stroll around the university campus that stretched into twilight.

The architecture on this campus is quite striking - even imposing at times
The landscaping is quite good as well
Everywhere you turn you see green, rocks, and flowers
A secluded pond
Ali liked these flowers
Reflections
One building resembled a castle
There was also a cathedral on campus
Unfortunately we were not able to get in
But I did get quite a few pictures of the outside, at least
Windows
Enjoying the vista
The castle building from another vantage point
Notice the apparent angles in this shot... parallel lines in the real
 world become right angles in the camera
You can knock, but it shall not be opened unto you
This is the castle building up close - I think just a classroom building
Amphitheater with four tennis courts in the center - and this is the small one!
This school really employs vast sizes in various forms
The truly huge amphitheater/stadium - there's a spacious basketball court, a full soccer field (I think)
 plus a huge pile of sand at the far end.
The "crown" building - our name, not theirs
Seating
Quite a skyline
I really enjoyed the scenery on this campus
Lights and camera, but no action...
Fiber optics and a statue, near the university hospital
Entrance gate

  3. Hello!

    I enjoyed reading about your visit to Kyung Hee University. I happen to be working on a post about this place right now. The pictures that you've included make readers feel like they're part of the visit too. If I may ask, can I use some of your pictures in my post? I'll mention you as the author/ uploader and include a link to your original post.
