A photographer’s perspective of a group of Oberlin residents and students walking through Tappan Square on a nice summer afternoon—a large tree trunk pictured in the foreground—serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.
Members of the Oberlin community gathered in Tappan Square for a Green Legacy tree tour. Green Legacy is a nonprofit that seeks to promote international peace and friendship by spreading worldwide seeds and saplings that originate from trees that survived the atomic bombs. Tappan Square activities acknowledged the 76th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Our photographer’s perspectives tour continues with stops by a busy activities table at Langston Middle School, an introduction to painting course, a class performance, and ends with a concert atop Bibbins Hall.
