Sunsets in Paradise

This was the sunset that we generally saw every single night. It didn't matter how many different pictures we took of the sun setting, we always saw the bright pinks and reds which was amazing color off the blue water. I thought this was beautiful while looking through the plants and canopy.

What I Miss About Tenerife

This picture is exactly why I had such a hard time coming back to England. We all had such a great time together and the weather was so beautiful every day that we were there. I miss the sun, the ocean, and the leisure. If I can go back one day, I will. I really liked the way I caught the light hitting off the ocean as well as the waves crashing in the background. This picture captures the dividing the image: horizontal shot as well.

Eve

I really liked this statue in the York cathedral. I didn't read the caption for it but it reminds of Eve with the serpent wrapped around the staff and her by the pot. I really enjoyed everything there was about this cathedral. The size of it, the windows with stained glass, the statues and the articulation of everything as well. It's amazing what they made and how things change over time.

Whomping Willow

I saw this tree while we were in York and there were a bunch of different looking trees like this. It reminded me of Harry Potter and the Womping Willow tree which I thought pertained to our trip to England since we are staying in the Harry Potter castle.

Doctor Please

I had to include this picture for my people picture. We met these British guys who were on holiday for their friend's bachelor party and all dressed up as doctors and patients. I took this candid shot and this random girl accidentally got in the picture. It was funny because no one was paying attention to my taking pictures of them.

Deep Blue

I thought that it was amazing that there were flowers in bloom in the middle of winter because that is impossible in Minnesota right now. I really liked the pretty blue color of the flower as well, it was so bright that they almost looked fake. I liked the close-up as well.

Rainy Days

It was raining this day and I thought this reminded me of the bonsai tree from the movie the Karate Kid and I took a close-up of it. I believe that it is part of the ground or a bench. I thought that it was unique in the sense that it was the tree and then rain drops surrounding it almost like a rainy day on a rainy day.

The Everlasting Dancer

I took this picture the first night that we got to the Canary Islands. This girl on the right knew every single little kids dance that there was. She was up on stage every single night that we went in the restaurant/bar/nightclub doing these dances. That dance floor brings back a lot of memories and I thought that it was cool that I caught the red lights and while they were moving.

Tenerife Volcano

I took this picture while walking to my room at our hotel in Tenerife. The volcano was so beautiful and always surrounded by the clouds. We never could figure out if that was because the clouds were so low or the volcano was just that high. It is a nice picture as well because you can see the way some of the buildings were situated as the hill rose toward the volcano.

Carried Out to Sea

While I was in the Canary Islands, I took a lot of pictures of the landscape as we were walking along the boardwalk to a restaurant. I took this picture on a little wooden balcony Look-out point that was on top of some cliffs and thought the mixture of the palm tree and surrounding vegetation along with the waves splashing on the rocks made for a great high angle picture.
