Description
This black and white aerial photograph looking eastward across the University of North Dakota's campus blanketed in thick winter snow.
Dividing the frame vertically near the center is University Avenue. The foreground features a cluster of mid-century multi-story brick residence halls and dining complexes, including the distinctive layout of the Smith, Bek, Hancock, and Johnstone hall complexes adjacent to large snow-covered parking lots filled with vintage automobiles.
To the right of University Avenue, the central campus grid is visible, showing academic buildings, tree-lined quads, the campus athletic facilities—including an outdoor running track and the historic dome structure of the old fieldhouse near the upper right—and industrial smokestacks from the campus power plant. The entire landscape is heavily snow-packed creating a stark contrast between the building and the surrounding land.
