The Mysterious Pathway

I thought this picture was very interesting and had a lot going on that all seemed to mesh together. The statues frame the pathway and is a good example of linear perspective. The way the trees frame the pathway as well and the center statue lining up perfectly with path in the background. It reminds me of the cover for the movie Pan's Labyrinth.

The London Eye

I found this picture to remind me of a city fair back in the states. The sun setting, all of the people in front of the "ferris wheel" and the sea gull flying up in the left corner. It almost reminded me of Santa Monica Pier. I had to get a picture of this as well because I never had a chance to see the London Eye up close while we were in London for class.

The Whomping Willow Returns

These trees were all over the countryside while I was on my tour and I had to take a picture of them because they are simply unique looking. It was such a nice and sunny day that it was really hard to take a bad picture.

Feeding Pigeons

In St. Mark's Square in the center of Venice, they sell pigeon feed for €1. I thought this little bou and his mom were so cute. I also found it interesting that the city actually pays for the feed and places birth control for pigeons in the feed to control the "poopulation," as they called it.


Jimminy Cricket

I saw this cricket while touring an old mansion in Venice. I hadn't seen many insects since I have been in Europe and thought that this shot turned out really well. I loved the shadow that the cricket cast on the stone and the vegetation in the background. It reminds me of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.



A Night in Venice

I loved the way the lights from behind the statue illuminated it. These statues were all along the water edge which made walking at night really interesting and beautiful.
