dwellingup

i went camping with the lovely nicole in dwellingup a couple of weekends ago.  the air was extremely fresh and brisk but it was so nice to breathe in the fresh air and be completely surrounded by trees.

berlin

berlin is a pretty cool city. i was quite sick during our stay there, so i didn't get to see as much as i would have liked (the berlin wall, for example...). i did, however, enjoy watching people in the underground, taking pictures out of windows (when you're stuck inside a room for a while activity outside of windows suddenly becomes very interesting), and drinking green tea at a very cute cafe.

snowscapes

snow is a beautiful thing, yet it moves out the way for nothing. one of the things that struck me while travelling was how everything just seemed to keep on going, regardless of the weather. the trees still spread their spindly branches towards the sun, mothers took their babies for walks in the pram, traffic still made it's way through the city and boats and ships ploughed their way through icy rivers.

venetian memories

venice is amazingly beautiful

rain in florence

it rained nearly every day when nicole and i were in florence, but it kind of added to the whole feel of this beautifully old city. this picture of the bicycle is one of my favourite's - and how cool is the man's umbrella?!

barbie

when nicole and i were in prague, we visited a toy museum that was inside the castle. there happened to be a barbie exhibition inside, and hurrah, photos were allowed :) I had a ball taking pictures of all the dolls in all their weird and wonderful outfits. i think my favourite is the one nicole and i dubbed 'extreme ken'!

san gimignano

san g is a little medevial town that nicole and i visited while in tuscany, italy. this place has been around since 332, and it used to consist of thirteen towers (some of them got bashed down in wars and things) that were made to see who could build the tallest tower.

san g is the type of place that you will find flower boxes out of every window, washing hanging out of impossibly high windows, little doors leading to secret pathways and amazing views of the tuscan country side.

it rained the day that we visited (the whole day! cue fashionable raincoats!) and a strange mist descended upon the whole city, making the whole thing pretty spectacular.

snow + ice

snow is so pretty











road to the highlands, scotland

oban in the autumn

a pretty little town in the north of scotland...the colourful bunting strung between the trees made me smile :)
