Brick Terrace Overlooking the Courtyard

High-angle wide-angle exterior photograph of a red-brick campus terrace with a metal railing overlooking a terraced green courtyard with grass steps, concrete stepping stones and water features

What This Image Shows​

A wide exterior view from the red-brick terrace on an upper level, looking out over the terraced green courtyard below - manicured grass steps, rectangular concrete stepping stones and integrated water features. Students sit on the grass steps and walk near the central fountain, with contemporary campus buildings and a mountain range behind.

The file name marks this as a campus free-expression image, the sort of photograph a university publishes to illustrate open-air speech on its grounds. That framing is worth noting given what the courtyard later became known for.

More practically, it is another elevated vantage point recorded - a railed brick terrace with a clear view down into the bowl. The number of such positions around this courtyard is exactly what the sightline questions turn on. See Rooftop Vantage Over the Campus Courtyard and Roof.
