  • Potsdam

    Within communting distance of Berlin, and frankly closer to my flat then the centre of Berlin is, is Potsdam – a traditional looking city that is recommended by many to visit. It is also very popular for it’s Christmas markets, and this weekend just gone it had many to offer, so a friend and I…

  • Berlin Street Art

    Berlin is famous for it’s street art, and after the walking tour I took – it comes as little surprise. The tour started at a hostel, and is free, so at the end you pay how much you want (or not at all). Our tour guide studied art and discovered a passion for street art…

  • Berlin Cathedral

    On the Friday of the first week of classes, I was super excited to attend a class on Postcolonialism in the Middle East – something perfect for my Master’s Dissertation (Theoretical Perspectives of Human Rights in the Middle East – including Postcolonial theory). Sadly, I was an unorganised mess and got the time of the…

  • East Side Gallery, Berlin

    The famous East Side Gallery! It features the remains of the Berlin Wall, turned into works of art by various artists from all over the world – to represent hope, change, and dreams of a better world. Some featured inspirational quotes, some were more obviously political than others, some were darker in theme than others.…

  • A Little Taste of Nature

    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,…
