Double Exposure - St. Paul's

St. Paul's Cathedral, London England
Another photo of a photo I took while studying abroad. The photo is of my favorite building in London, St. Paul's Cathedral. It's been framed and hung in a stairwell of our house, which is reflected in the glass.

Reflections - Window


When I traveled in Italy, I took this photo of the poppy field and landscape. When I got home, it was printed, framed and hung up on the wall. Recently, I noticed the reflection in the glass of this photo and thought it might be a cool, layered picture. Things would start to get weird if I ever printed out the above photo, framed it and then took yet another picture of that. The Inception of photos... within a photo, within a photo....!!

Vatican Lady


There is a ridiculous amount of art in the Vatican. I like this statue, especially the lighting.

La Tour Eiffel


I love this picture! I like how the sky is a dark blue... the Eiffel Tower looks pretty nice as well. Almost looks like a postcard picture, doesn't it?
When I went, we were able to walk up the stairs to the first and second levels for free. According to the official Eiffel Tower website, it now costs 4 euros to walk up!

= Amsterdam

public art Amsterdam, Netherlands
There's a lot of public art in Amsterdam. This was a tree-like sculpture with mirror-like thingys on it. I have no idea what it means or what it's supposed to do, but this is what it looks like from underneath!

St. Peter's Basilica


Sunbeam in Saint Peter's Basilica Rome

This was a pretty cool place that I almost didn't get in to! There are decency police stationed outside, ready to turn away any wenches who look inappropriate. The friend I was traveling with was apparently too scantily clad and they tried to make me go buy her some kind of arm covering so she wouldn't offend anyone! However, we were sneaky and ducked in for a few hasty minutes then had to run to catch a train (um, which we missed). Very memorable day in Roma!

Vesuvius Looks Peaceful Today

Mount Vesuvius Pompeii, Italy and poppy field

That would be Mt. Vesuvius and a field of wonderful poppies.

My Shoes - London

Looking at my shoes on the London EyeWhen I was in Europe, I wanted to take the same kind of photo in every city. I thought maybe a picture of my feet, since I had taken some pictures like this before, but it didn't pan out. Turns out there's not much that's very interesting by my feet in most cities. This one is alright-- it's on the London Eye. This happens to be the first photo I took in Europe, like the second day I was there.

Munich is the Greatest City

Marienplatz in Munich, Germany id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342938661543469346" border="0" />What I like about this picture is all of the lines and angles and intersections... like how the sign fits right between the two buildings. Not sure, just really like it!
Expect some more European pics in the future, because I've got a lot! Like 1500 :D

On the Royal Mile

Royal Mile building with Scottish flag in Edinburgh, Scotland
I took this on the second to last day I was in Europe, in Edinburgh, Scotland. I really have no idea what building this is but I can tell you that the blue flag is Scotland's.

Can You Spot Nessie?

Loch Ness with sunny skies in Scotland
This is the famous Loch Ness in Scotland. I took a three day bus tour of the country and on the first and second nights we stayed at a little inn basically on the shores of this lake. Try to see if you can spot the Loch Ness monster- I think she's out there....

"Lucky" 13


Today I didn't take a picture! I planned on taking a portrait of my brother, but that will have to wait for now. This is from when I was in Munich last year.
