SUMMER SCENES: Summer on Grounds

Editor’s Note: This gallery is part of a summer series from The Cavalier Daily photo desk staff. Over the course of the summer, photo staffers will craft galleries which capture moments from different places in Charlottesville and beyond.

Launch the gallery to view photos taken at the University in June. With most students away for the summer, Grounds is often quiet and nearly empty — offering a rare sense of peace and stillness. It’s an ideal time to take a relaxing stroll, soak in the natural beauty and enjoy the sights and sounds of the many animals that call the University.’s green spaces home.
