Campus dresses up in red, orange and yellow for fall

It happens each autumn on the UW-Madison campus: Ivy-covered buildings become colorful mosaic backdrops, and maple and oak trees offer a brilliant canopy overhead. Pedestrians wearing sweatshirts cast long shadows as the sun drops lower in the sky. Enjoy these shots from Office of Strategic Communication photographers that illustrate the beauty of the season on campus.
