Photographer’s Note

This is the interior atrium of the Foreign Languages Building on the University of Illinois campus. I'm looking out from a top floor glass door, but the glass has a metal grid inside.

The building is fascinating: it is built in the shape of an inverted pyramid or "Tower of Babel" because this is the place where all the languages come together and become comprehensible (or at least, that is the idea!). So the bottom floor is the narrowest and the successive floors above it get larger and wider. I spent 9 happy years studying and teaching in this building.
