Princeton University East, Campus Outdoor, Photographer's Stroll with early Spring blooms. This is known as Stroll #2, approximately 2 miles, about an hour and a half to two hours. Photographers, and slow walkers are welcome. There ARE stairs. We will hit about 12 or so locations on this stroll, and pause at each interesting point.
Start time set, so Chapel Mass (11 to 12) will hopefully be over as we hit that area. I have added links, in description below, to each collection item IF it was available. Please put your best photos in the album afterwards :)

We will meet on the corner of Prospect Avenue, outside Prospect Garage North. It is on Prospect Avenue, that is off of Washington. This is the recommended parking garage to use for today, it is FREE on weekends, and weeknights after 4PM.
