I have never stopped to looked at South Hall on the UC Berkeley campus in the late afternoon light. The spectacularly blue skies and golden light of an autumn California day is arresting—and makes you stop and look at the corners of buildings. Campus tour guides hint to perspective Cal students that the red brick building—one of the first campus halls—was modeled after Mary Poppins’ patrons’ home. Not so. Doesn’t ruin the building’s magic, especially at golden hour.
