Postcard from Tucson – University Terraces

Sometime ago I promised more interesting photos from the University of Arizona campus…and I have not done a good job of living up to that promise.

So today, here is a view I see almost every time I go to a concert or visit an art gallery on campus. It is one view of a series of terraces built on different levels near the College of Fine Arts. You can’t see all the terraces from this photo, but it gives you the idea. Many have tables with umbrellas so you can sit and have your coffee or lunch among all the flora.

The strange looking blue racks on the left, are for bicycles. I wish I could tell you the type of cactus is in the foreground, but I am no plant expert and have not been able to find out on the Web. Maybe someone could help me??

The U has a great many interesting architectural features and will try from time-to-time to show you more. Really...I promise.
