The Graduate College (tower visible in yesterday's mist) was home to "father of computer science," Alan Turing, while he earned his PhD at Princeton University. Turing had a crucial role Britain's WWII codebreaking activities.

Interesting and absolutely gorgeous photo!
Excelente foto y un bello paisaje, con el añadido de la niebla dando una suavidad al paisaje. Un saludo, Ángel
Me gustan las aportaciones históricas.
beautiful photo!!
That's a beuty! Interesting info on Turing.
What a gorgeous photo and very interesting explanation.
@all - thanks so much! Turing was overlooked (and not well-treated) in his lifetime, but left a lasting legacy!
Great shot Lulu! love the mist and sleepy trees, so moody and evocative...
I like the fog and lighting here. Well done.
Turing was very badly treated in his lifetime, and almost ignored in his death. Yet, he was a brilliant mind. The misty shot is very symbolic.
Just the right mood for the day. Good shot.
I spotted your photo this morning and have been looking forward all day to letting you know how much I love it. It has an English feel to it and is just beautiful. Perfect for today!
Lovely, Lulu. I agree with LOL, it has an English feel to it.
Thanks again for your kind comments!
LOLfromPasa and Petrea, Mr. L always thought this corner of Princeton looked like England!:)
hamilton - so sadly true - I mentioned in my earlier comment. He was a genius & left such a legacy.
Fog makes for some wonderful photographs.
"Beauty" :-) And I'd like to think society has come a long way since that time. What an appalling way to treat a human being...
Beautifully ethereal image Lulu, gorgeous. I remember seeing a doco about Bletchly Park and what went on there during the war..fascinating indeed!
Turing was little known years ago but he has been rightly recognised these last few years. I love this picture.
