The Oval.

To many people, the Oval symbolizes Ohio State University. Local television news programs often show the Oval in the background, and many publications by campus and off-campus agencies include pictures of the Oval. The Oval, is the large open area in front of the main library, is a hang out for students in the warmer months of the school year. This 11 acre site is often the location for large outdoor gatherings, concerts, demonstrations, and various pick-up sporting events.

Personal Theme Week: Showcasing The Ohio State University. See my January 10 photo for the beginning.

robberfly says:: It is truly difficult to capture how grandiose the Oval is in a photograph. And it definitely looks far superior in person, and during the summer. CLAME for a short video about the Oval that shows how enormous it is, as well as a little history too.
