Although current conditions have fraught travel plans for many, this week’s photo series gives viewers a free pass to take a much-needed vacation. If you ever wanted to stand behind home plate, take a stroll through the Cleveland Museum of Art, or get the best seat in the house at Carnegie Hall, then this day trip is for you.

In this week’s photo series we swing by the voting polls, rub elbows with a professor, linger under a big tent of images, decompress at an outside night concert and faculty recital, pull up a seat at the Cat, head to Finney Chapel for taiko, and pick up a brush to do some mini pumpkin painting.
“The best thing about my quarantine workday (besides hanging out with my toddler) is seeing my students, even though they are far away. The second best thing is seeing them when it's warm enough to be outside in my backyard in Lakewood. Students + sunshine (+ toddler) = happiness,” writes Kathryn Metz , assistant professor of ethnomusicology.
