Central grassy quad on James Madison University's campus featuring mature trees, the Kissing Rock, paths and surrounding collegiate buildings. Great for environmental portraits, wide scenes of students and seasonal color. Visit golden hour or overcast for even light; weekday mornings are least crowded. Free public access; parking available nearby on campus lots (check university signs) and events can change access/crowds.
