Hardy Memorial Tower

San Diego State University
Constructed as a Works Progress Administration project in 1931, is 11 stories (119.1 ft / 36.3 m) tall; it contains the Fletcher Symphonic Carillon (also known as the Fletcher Chimes) (installed 1946), consisting of 204 bells over 6 octaves.
Hardy Memorial Tower is part of the original core of the SDSU campus on Montezuma mesa, and was the University's original library.

One of my photographic goals is to take photos from the top at Sunset and at Night.

Beautiful composition of the white tower against the blue sky
(Maybe the OECD countries need again this kind of work stimulation projects)

No I haven't seen this move. But with that title and the tower, I don't think I want to. Interesting tower. I hope you make it up there.

Good luck with your goal..the photos you propose should be remarkable from that height...the angle you have chosen for this photo really shows the pristine architectural lines of the buildings...great ...V
