Inside a Mind

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Pueblos de Burgos

    Fun trivia fact: apparently the surrounding area of Burgos has one of the highest amounts of villages in Spain. So when I was invited to go along with some of the fellow teachers from the school I work at to walk around some local villages and then eat a local bean dish, of course I said…

  • Autumnal Burgos

    Following up from landmarks of Burgos, what captured me on the day I was taking photos was the autumnal vibe the city was giving. With so many trees shedding their leaves it was hard not to feel autumny, and a very different experience to the U.K’s perception of autumn with pumpkin spiced lattes (which I…

  • Burgos Landmarks

    The other day I walked all over the city centre with my camera, having fun as a shameless tourist. I took loads of photos, and so I decided that rather than one long post and expecting you lovely readers to sit patiently for all the photos to load, I would instead divide them into two…

  • Outside the Cathedral

    In the plaza are a few restaurants which offer a fantastic view of Burgos’s most iconic landmark. The cathedral towers above everything in the city, and can be spotted from many viewpoints in the centre. Inside is spectacular too!

  • Photography Tips 101

    Not that I can consider myself much of an expert. Just the other day I was out with my camera and a couple with a fellow Nikon asked me to take their photo. Obviously assuming I would take a decent photo. Nope, it was too shadowy and I wanted to explain that I am still a novice.…

  • Can Cultures Benefit One Another?

    I have just stumbled upon this quote, and I think it’s quite brilliant. Languages are deeply ingrained into each country’s culture – and even though no two countries that speak the same language have the same culture, it is an excellent platform for gaining deeper insight into a culture. And when you have looked and…

  • Sunset

    This was taken on my first day using RAW format on my camera, and I experimented with Photoshop for the first time ever too. I’ve just started a free trial of Photoshop – I figured it could really help with advancing my photography and making things look glossy and almost professional. But at the same time can…

  • Simply ABC

    (Kudos if you know the scene…) This sounds like fun, but a challenge! I was nominated by Vivid Narrator to tell a story using a word for each letter of the alphabet. I like to think it started off well, but by the letter J I started to have no idea what my story was…

  • Burgos on Expired Polaroid Film

    I wanted to take my DSLR out on a tour of the city, but today has been quite cloudy so I thought it would be best to leave my digital camera for blue skies, and take out my beloved Polaroid camera which is better suited for overcast conditions. As per usual the film I was…
