Aerial View of Lawrence, Kansas and its State University
Wow is all I can say about this gorgeous view. It's perfect for... Well, just about anything really. Great for pictures!
Dusk looking out over the valley below Mount Oread. Nothing beats wandering this scenic campus to the sound of the carillon bells which sound every quarter hour. On Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoons faculty or students perform on the instrument. Wander the green space around Potters Lake during a concert for a truly magical experience. The campanile is a WWII memorial, so be sure to check out the structure itself too.
What’s better than local, freshly made ice cream on National Ice Cream Day? #SylasandMaddys #SweetSpot
