A sandstone arch that leads to the first floor of Peters Hall frames a colorful view of pine and maple trees and people on their way to class and offices. This early morning view on a cool fall day serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.

Although fall colors were predicted to peak from mid- to late October, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, most of Ohio, including Oberlin, remained at near peak conditions during that time. It wouldn’t be until the first week of November before many in Oberlin saw autumn’s full color show on display. Although Oberlin’s peak season was interrupted by high winds that blew many leaves off trees, intense colors could still be seen clinging to branches.

In this series, we take a look at the fall season in Oberlin. See more recent fall photos on Oberlin’s Flickr page.
