The Lawn at UVA (Charlottesville)
The most striking thing about the lawn at UVA are the colonnades that line both sides. I have no idea how to photograph them. If I try and give a sense of how long they are, they just end up looking tiny.
I've been a fan of covered walkways in general ever since reading Bernard Rudofsky's "Streets for People: A Primer for Americans". Beyond their utility, they just look great. Maybe they're part of what I like about how Venice Beach used to look:

(This is going to sound obnoxious, but the postcard caption is wrong: you're actually looking east, not west.)
