Antwerp! The fourth Belgian city I have visited, and less than an hour by train from Brussels. My sister was arriving in Antwerp to go to a metal music festival close by, so I used that as a reason to check out what Antwerp has to offer. Wandering around Antwerp, I wasn't as taken by [...]

Berlinaroids
I'm still, at times, thinking back nostalgically to Berlin. Perhaps mainly because the coffees here in Brussels are tiny compared to milchkaffees. And I haven't seen a black turtleneck at all here. But I have my little collection of Polaroids I took during my five month stay in Berlin. The cold weather kept a a very [...]
Charlottenburg Palace
Located in the neighbourhood of Charlottenburg (shocking), the palace is one of the most famous in Germany. Named after Sophie Charlotte, who died an early death, and had commissioned it with her husband Friedrich III. It is a lavish palace with baroque and rococo styling, although more was added by their descendants. When visiting it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
View of the Thames, London
I had a 24 hour trip to London, because I had tickets to see the RADA fundraiser production of Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Tom Hiddleston. It was an amazing show, so intimate, and so well performed. Tickets were very limited and in high demand, so I was thrilled to access the Under [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
