  • Long Weekend in Barcelona (and a mini blog series!)

    The Spanish seem to love having bank holidays. Recently this meant I had a four day weekend, and I wanted to travel somewhere pretty special. I’ve never been to Barcelona before, so with a couple of friends I planned a trip (at the last minute of course). We travelled using BlaBla car – it worked…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • A Misty Day in Yorkshire

    Before my departure to Spain, my mum and her partner (just back from a holiday in Spain themselves) decided to take me on a day out to experience just a taste of what the beautiful Yorkshire has to offer. First stop was to have tea and coffee in a location that clearly hosts a lot…

  • The Moon has a strange look tonight…

    Last night was the rare occurrence of a super blood moon. Sadly, and typically, at the prime viewing time the sky was too cloudy to see anything. Happily beforehand I managed to tinker about with my camera and get a few good shots of the moon, this being my favourite.

  • Trip to Brighton

    A few photos from back in July when my dad took me to Brighton as a birthday day trip! The Royal Pavilion and Art Gallery – The gardens were beautiful and blooming with flowers. Apparently by law the grass must be kept relatively long, so the royalty who would stay here could comfortably walk on…
