To the left and across the street is Alice Pratt Brown Hall, the home of Shepherd School of Music.
In the Rice sports complex surounding this plaza is, from left to right, Fox Gym, Reckling Park, the home of Cameron Field and the Rice Owls Baseball team and Jake Hess Tennis Stadium. |

Tudor Fieldhouse, the home of Autry Court is shown in this panorama. As I was taking it, Heather, a Rice Grad Student, walked by and was a good sport about participating in the pano and at the same time, a Construction Crew returned to their truck and became willing participants too.
As always, viewing in Google Earth via the link, adds a lot of visual excitement. It was a cloudy day and rain was coming in from the west, but all-in-all, a good view of the Tudor Field House prior to opening for visitors during Homecoming Weekend. |

Normally from this location, the Texas Medical Center is very visible, but not when this collection of photgraphs was taken. TMC is totally obscured by fog. This panorama has 22 instances of three friends walking from Hanszen College to the north east corner of Tudor Field House where at that point they turned west toward the parking lot. This hand-held panorama comes within two of tying the current world record of 24 instances of multiple occurrences in a GigaPan, where the link can be seen from the famous Miss Pixie GigaPan taken in Bath, England: (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/20177/), where there is a chain of links from it to Alice May (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/21255/), taken in Winchester, England, to JIHBird's record-holder (http://gigapan.org/gigapans/34468/). As usual, I do not know who these women are except that they are most likely Rice students killing time over Christmas break. This panorama is comprised of 45 photographs, which were taken with a Nikon D-70 using a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6G lens and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). Additional information can be found when clicking Stitcher Notes. |

There are numerous views of this area that can be found in earlier GigaPans, but I would say that none of them were taken on such a beautiful day as what this was.
This hand-held panorama taken in an open field shows Tudor Fieldhouse, Alice Pratt Brown Hall, McNair Hall, Baker Hall, and features numerous building of the Texas Medical Center. This 31-photo, 360-degree panorama was taken hand-held using a Leica D-Lux 3 and stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |

The entire series of eleven Rice Snowstorm 2009 panoramas can be seen via this link: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/most_popular/?q=blizzard+riceu This hand-held panorama was taken on December 4, 2009 at about 2PM after I entered Rice University campus. This is a view that is in many of my GigaPans, but because of the snow, none are like this one. This panorama is comprised of 34 photographs, which were taken with a Nikon D-70 using a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6G lens and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer).

There are numerous views of this area that can be found in earlier GigaPans, but I would say that none of them were taken on such a beautiful day as what this was. A special one was taken 12 months before during the construction of Audrey Moody Ley Plaza: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/18294/ This hand-held panorama taken in the Audrey Moody Ley Plaza features Tudor Fieldhouse, Jake Hess Tennis Stadium and Reckling Baseball Park, home of the Rice Owls, 2003 National Collegite Baseball Champions. This 18-photo, 360-degree panorama was taken hand-held using a Leica D-Lux 3 and stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |

A simply beautiful late-afternoon view looking north-east from Alice Pratt Brown Hall. To the left is Janice and Robert McNair Hall and to the right is James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Rice University and between the two is Jamail Plaza with its eye-catching fountain.
This hand-held panorama was taken using a Canon SX 110 and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software and additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run.
