At the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

@kairospix: Glad you like the photo. I graduated from this university more than two and a half decades back, but I've been teaching English to overseas students there on a pre university course for quite a few years now.

Yeah, was it your graduation day? If so - congratulations!

@Celialee: Thanks for having a look in. I've just responded to a previous comment, asking the same question, and the answer is no, it wasn't my graduation but I teach there.

@MaryB: Thanks. Your comment is interesting because I was actually thinking of giving it a titile like, "The world before him".

Very interesting shot here Andrew, its like you have captured his view there. I like the way you have filled up the frame here with almost complete capture of the campus. :)

@Rahul: Yes... that's actually what I wanted to do. I was on one of my regular walks round the campus -- always with my camera, of course -- and as I came walking down behind him, it all just fell into place for me.

Here's the campus from the air:

Anzac Parade, on the left side of the map, is beyond the bottom of the walkway in the distance in this photo. I took the photo from a little below and to the right of the word " Wales" in "University of New South Wales" on the map, where that building with the side in shadow is. You can even see some green strips there, which are the grass areas in front of the student in the photo.
