Founded in 1843, Citadel graduates have fought in every American war since the 1946 war with Mexico. The present campus was created 90 years ago. I moved below the World War II artillery piece mounted at one end of the Citadel’s parade ground, and used its diagonal thrust to draw a comparison to the flow of college buildings below it. The warm late afternoon light creates a perfect mood. I composed this photo as a time tunnel, drawing the viewer into the past. We see the school's buildings, designed as castles and caught between the sea of storm clouds overhead and the green grass parade ground below. By darkening the corners of the image, the tunnel effect becomes complete. A tiny flag stands alone in the breeze. The scene is deserted. Only the viewer is present here.
