I've had a bad day for chronic fatigue, so I decided to go on a walk with my camera to capture the beautiful autumn colours to try and see if the outside would help energise me as it sometimes does. It didn't, I had to get the bus back and I've been napping since, but [...]

Shakey Wakey
Slumville sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shine away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning I decided to photograph Wakefield - at least the centre to try and capture its vibe accurately. Although it is not my favourite city in the world, [...]
Whitby
As a post-birthday treat my Mum and her boyfriend took me on a day trip to Whitby, North Yorkshire. I haven't been in years, but it is a picturesque seaside town. There are the famous 199 steps up to the church and well known abbey. The abbey is famous because of Bram Stoker's Dracula - it was [...]
Montjuic
Montjuic is a hill that sits above Barcelona - looking out to the sea and the city. You can either get the cable cars up and enjoy the views, or for a metro ride the funicular. Entry into the castle on the top is cheap, but there is also plenty to wander around and take [...]
Tibidabo
I have finished my masters degree! Except for my dissertation, and an extra semester in Berlin (!!!) come October. But for IBEI, and Barcelona, I only now have to twiddle my thumbs. So I went to twiddle my thumbs at Tibidabo, a mountain which overlooks the city of Barcelona. At the top you can find [...]
Carrers de Barcelona
After my trip to London, I was a little frustrating that many of my photos had come out blurred. I decided I needed to practice, and so as a reward for being so close to finishing my university deadlines, I went on a stroll with my Nikon. I explored the neighbourhoods of the Barrio Gotico, [...]
A return trip to London!
DO I MISS LONDON. I haven't seen it properly since I left 2 years ago, except for a couple of overnight stays, which have both left me emotional to be back in a city which shaped me so much. So for a last trip with my BCN friends, I couldn't wait to show them my [...]
Faro, Portugal
The last stop of our trip was the southern town of Faro. The train from Lisbon was delayed and we had to deal with a creepy middle aged man leering at my friend, but anyway, when we got there it was simple walk to our hostel. Baixa Terrace Hostel was our least favourite - the room was [...]
Lisbon, Portugal
The second destination of our trip to Portugal was the capital - Lisbon. We caught the train from Porto which was less then 20 euros for those under 25 (about 25 for those older), and took about 3 hours. Our hostel - Lisbon Lounge Hostel was a short walk from the train station we stopped at. This hostel [...]
Porto, Portugal
I am just back from a 6 day trip to Portugal with two friends. It was a beautiful break between deadlines for uni (although now I have to knuckle down again!). First stop was Porto, which was possibly my favourite city we visited. It was small but picturesque, a perfect long weekend getaway. We stayed [...]
