The Gate

Anyone who has stayed in the Quad knows what this picture is, and what it represents... and they are probably smiling right now.

To me, "the gate" has been a barrier to give me some space, a meeting place to hold small conferences with friends, and more than anything else... the perfect feeling of what it would be like to be an animal in a zoo.  

I lived here for over a year, and never once took a picture of the kids at "the gate"... thought I'd do that now.
