The best thing about visiting somewhere new is you never know what you would find. University of Western Ontario is way smaller than the University of Toronto. It is about the size of King's College Circle. Basically one round, and you are done! But the buildings are a whole different story. I still remember the awe I felt when I first visited Knox College when I went to UT for the first time. I felt that exact awe when I saw the interior of UWO buildings. The fact that there's barely any students around make shooting so much easier. I wanted to see the buildings, just the buildings alone. The sunlight was shining through the windows in exactly that perfect angle to give everything it touches a shiny and warm glow. Strange enough I didn't manage to come across the Science departments. The buildings I visited were mainly for the Arts. Maybe that's why they have that glow?

June 9th, 2009. This was the sight that greeted me when I walked in. I was awestruck. It was breathtaking. The only thing lacking in this photo is a bride in a white elegant gown walking down the stairs gracefully. Ah...I wish I'm a wedding photographer.
June 9th, 2009. Like I said, the sun was shining at that perfect angle. Love the window panes. Love the stairs. Love the whole composition. I love the smell too. It was not mouldy smell that I would usually associate with a century old building. It was that distinctively nostalgic smell that brings back memories. Memories that I didn't remember. Memories of Belgium. Memories of Year 1. Memories of those good old years.
June 9th, 2009. This auditorium....was............spectacular. Look at those window panes. UT didn't have that!!!!

June 9th, 2009. This reminded me a bit of Gerstein Library. But....Gerstein has much better tables, chairs, and table lamps :P
