tickling my senses via UMASS

UMASS is like any other campus during the day, at night it shines. Literally the campus shines with the lights from classes, dorms, the library, and other buildings. It sets itself apart with the luminescent lights on the studio arts building and the new gym. The light change and glow giving the campus color as shifting footsteps from those on the night shift of classes are leaving. The campus sounds with the wind, a chorus line singing down the hall and band playing in what you'd expect to be an abandoned building among other things. I enjoy the campus more at night than during the day, you can even drive through it without waiting half an hour for freshman to cross every intersection. The defining sound of Amherst in general is the center where bustles of people press the walk sign to cross the road and it echoes a chirp you can hear a block down. UMASS/Amherst is beautiful at night.

  1. Nice! Whoever thought of the pretty lighting touches on campus should be applauded. I just noticed that great light show at the rec center tonight as I was walking back from class in the library.
