Still beauty
Image gallery captures a rare look at the University of Cincinnati at rest
Spring at the University of Cincinnati is normally among the most vibrant and lively times to experience one of the world’s most beautiful urban campuses.
These days, however, the place is nearly empty as tens of thousands of students, faculty and staff do their part to slow the spread of coronavirus by self-quarantining. While classrooms and labs sit empty and normally busy green spaces remain quiet — except for the sounds of singing birds and trickling water features — there is beauty in the stillness.
