My 1st World Wide Photo Walk in Raleigh, NC & favorite photos

Today I participated in my first photo walk on the campus of N.C. State University. The photo walk was apart of Scott Kelby”s Worldwide photo walk event that is organized by volunteers across the world today. Apparently there were two Raleigh photo walks groups but I was apart of the one led by Ashley Sue Allen @AshleySue.

Other attendees met at the NCSU bell tower around 9:45 A.M. and after brief introductions we basically walked around campus and took a lot of photos from 10:00 A.M. to noon. I had been on the campus before for various events in the past but due to a recent storm some of the trees were blown down or split open which made for an interesting scene and rare photos. Some of my favorite photos from today were taken under one of the campus bridges and of the expression tunnel.

I want to say thanks to Ashley for organizing the event and Scott Kelby for creating the Worldwide photo walk idea.

What is your favorite picture?
