A solemn, sculpted memorial honoring the 1999 Bonfire victims: etched poem panels, portrait monuments and the nearby Spirit Ring/History Walk. Photographs work well for intimate portraits of inscriptions and wide context shots tying the monuments to campus. Best at dawn or blue hour for soft, directional light and fewer visitors; evenings after games can be crowded. Easily accessible on campus with nearby parking; free entry. Respectful behavior required — this is a place of remembrance.
