Twilight Aura at Stanford - Panorama

Stanford featured this image on their website for "The Stanford Challenge" - a 5 year improvement and fundraising project:

On a warm summer night, the Stanford Quad had few visitors and I was able to set up the tripod and enjoy the "blue hour". The lights inside the long colonnades cast a warm golden glow.

This panorama consists of 5 images with 3 exposures each tonemapped in Photomatix. Photoshop was only used to crop and fix a few smudges in the sky. Though the colonnade is actually one linear side of the quad it appears to be curving away from me due to my proximity to the center arch. I would like to try this again from further away to see how the angles will change (and also correct the slightly off-center composition here...)

If you're curious enough to look at the really large size, you will see the amazing detail of the carved sandstone blocks from which the arches are constructed. Straight ahead thru the arch and across the oval lawn is Palm Drive which takes you from the campus to downtown Palo Alto.
