Rice University Homecoming 2009: Jamail Plaza and Fountain by David Engle

Canon SX110

This weekend is homecoming weekend at Rice and regardless of all the scheduled events taking place on campus, a number of us were drawn to the Jamail Plaza to see its dramatic fountain on this beautiful November morning.

Jamail Plaza and its fountain is located to the north of James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy or simply, Baker Institute.

Last year, in this plaza, we found Heather finding peace and serenity in the Jamail Courtyard in front of Baker Institute: gigapan.org/gigapans/13445/ as well as Saskia and Cristina as they attempted to tackle the economy: gigapan.org/gigapans/15381/
This hand-held panorama was taken with a Canon SX110 camera and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run.
