Cathedral View

This was the view atop St. Paul's Cathedral, you can see the London bridge and London eye. I think the photo captures the congestion and hugeness of the city of London. I think the view from the top was worth the 500 steps it took to get there. I wanted to show this picture because my sweat and thighs went into getting it, and it burned.

Not So Big Ben

When I first saw Big Ben I was a little disappointed because for some reason I though it was much bigger but I was impressed in the detail and how ornate it was. It's just a little sad that it wasn't how I had pictured it, but I still like the picture I took of it after we had finished our tour of parliament. I mean who could go home after being in London and not get a picture of Big Ben.

Horse Power
This picture was taken at a fountain in London. I love horses so the fountain was very interesting to me. I like that angle I got which gives you the feeling of being under the horse whiles its rearing. The spotlights in the back give it a little extra intense affect as well. I really like how the the picture turned out so I wanted to include it.

Brotherly Love

I took this picture in the Gardens of two young boys that were running through the bamboo maze. I took the picture in black and white because I thought that it gave the picture an old classic feel. I feel like this is a moment frozen in time of two brothers playing and it brings me back to my childhood playing with my sister.

Mighty Squirrel

This extremely brave squirrel I found in London. I was amazed that the squirrel would actually come eat right out of your hand but then I saw that it had blue eyes and its possible that the squirrel could be blind. I really like squirrels and so I wanted to include this picture plus I think it makes for a good story.

The Rouge At Night

I was so extremely excited to see the Moulin Rouge because it's one of my favorite movies of all time. This picture was taken right after I got my tattoo in Paris which didn't turn out the greatest. I love this picture because the content of it holds a place in my heart and I had to include it in my blog for that reason.

Purple Bamboo

I was playing around with my camera trying to figure out all its settings and noticed I have a negative setting. I took this picture in the bamboo maze I really like how it turned out everything seems to glow. I also think it gives a new way of looking at bamboo that you maybe wouldn't have seen before, I mean who has seen purple bamboo?

FountainI love the giant fountain in the gardens I can't help but stare at it every time I go to the gardens. The motion of the water in the fountain is almost hypnotizing to me so I love to sit and watch it. It is probably my favorite feature at the gardens.

Growing Vines

I took many pictures at the gardens but this so far has been my very favorite. These vines waves and encircled this pole; which gives me a twisted constricted feeling. I think the black and white adds to the dramatic feel you may receive from the picture. Whenever I see vines and thorns I automatically think of Jesus so this kind of represents my faith as well.

Rail

This is a guard rail that keeps you from falling in the fountain. The rail is only a little over a foot tall but I feel the high angle makes it harder to determine how tall the rail really is. It gives you a new look on something you may have not noticed before.
