The Holy Cross campus is beautiful in every season, but fall is special, says Darien Henry ’14.
A photography intern in the Office of Public Affairs, Henry, of New York City, captured images of campus during peak foliage season. He is a sociology major and visual arts minor with a concentration in women’s and gender studies.
“I really wanted to show the campus in its natural state at different times of the day,” he says. “This school has amazing landscape designs which are well taken care of. I wanted to capture the magical essence of the fall as it crept up on the Hill. Some days there were beautiful sunsets while other days there were clouds. I carried my camera around with me and would stop and take photos as I walked. Sometimes you only get one chance at a nice shot!”

Thank you for the photographs of the campus. Holy Cross gets more beautiful with time! One of the great, but probably greatly overlooked benefits of being a student at HC, is being surrounded by one great vista after another as one traverses the campus. I wish I had been more aware of how special that part of my college experience was, but it’s never too late to come to an appreciation of great art. I look forward to my 45th reunion next year to again walk the slopes of Mount St. James!
