Favorites: the Wanderlust Edition

In honor of the conclusion of my time in Africa,
I've compiled a collection of my favorite photographs I've taken while wandering around this earth the past four years--
those wanderings that took me out of Africa (with the exception of the first photo...).

For my favorite photographs from my years in Zimbabwe: go here!

For my favorite photographs from my years in Senegal: go here!

For my favorite photographs of animals: go here!

The Academical Village (An Ode to Mr. Jefferson)

Photobucket
The University of Virginia's Rotunda and Lawn -- Charlottesville, Virginia, United States

View of the Lawn from the Rotunda.
The Academical Village, combined with Monticello, is one of only three modern man-made sites in the United States
on the UNESCO World Heritage preservation site. 
(The other two?  The Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall.)

American president Thomas Jefferson designed the Academical Village, with its Lawn, Rotunda, Pavillions, and student rooms, to be a place of learning.  UVA professors still live in the majority of the ten pavillions and the pavillions' classrooms are still used.

Photobucket
An UVA student walks across the Lawn towards the Lawn rooms and the rest of Grounds.

Lawn rooms.  It is an honor for fourth year students at UVA to live on the Lawn.
