I'm featuring buildings made of bricks at my Something Sighted blog and I plan on featuring Princeton University in most of my posts here this week.Princeton is such a historic and wonderful place to see. Many of the buildings are decorated with beautiful stone carvings. I hope you enjoy the series.

These look cool. Very artistic! Reminds me of the delwara temples in India's Gujarat State.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing architecture and to think of the workmanship in constructing these buildings. They are a work of art.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your series.

How nice..okay I'm too lazy but what does it say on those buildings?
ReplyDeleteHow I wish one of my kids can go there. Just a dream. We are too far.
ReplyDeleteAwesome architecture.
Thanks for sharing James.

Great buildings and wonderful details. I am sure to enjoy this series!
To have to study in such beautyful buildings must be very inspiring for students!and probably for professors too..I'm impatient to see the folllowing pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe details are all magnificent! And your photos are fantastic as usual — and I'm glad! We can appreciate the beauty better because of your sharp and well-composed photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to enjoy this series. I really hope my work doesn't get crazy this week.
And I'm glad Mr Poet is here to translate the Latin!
Gorgeous photos of such beautiful buildings. I'm looking forward to seeing more. The detail is incredible. Have a great week. Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful skilled work these are... I see lots of carvings on our buildings.... mostly churches... but ours have been attacked by air born pollutents over the last 150 years and many of the carvings are just outlines now... the details eat away by the acid in the rain.
ReplyDeleteI've checked all Princeton posts. The architecture is fantastic and so are your photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comment on my blog.
These carvings are very impressive :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous James! I could wander around that campus all day just staring at the buildings.
ReplyDeleteAll very nice, though I really like the second image the best. Never been to Princeton!
ReplyDeleteTotally in agreement with Malyss...
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to these posts. I've always wanted to see Princeton.
ReplyDeleteThis series is a wonderful beginning!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember I had a professor in college back home in Bulgaria. The man attended Princeton - he started every sentence with "When I was in Princeton" - we the student used to call him George /that was his name/ Princeton the Third :)
ReplyDeleteGreat school! Great architecture!
Just amazing. The beauty in the colors and architecture is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHello dear James!
