15. The entrance to the campus chapel

Wonderful set - I love the architecture. The relief in #17 bothers me as well. I might have to research that a bit. The phallic sculpture makes me laugh (because I have the mind of a 12 year-old), but I do love the detail in the waves. Last, but certainly not least, I *love* the first shot. Something about a man in uniform!
