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.

Pantheon

The way the sun was shining through the ceiling of the Pantheon made this picture extremely uniqe. I just couldn't believe how long the Pantheon has lasted throughout time. Rome was one of the places I had always wanted to visit because of the history.

Shaking off the H2O.

These ducks were so cute and they were the first ones that I had seen in Italy. They swam up and shook off the water and it was really cute. I liked the water on the two sides of the rocks and the sun helped make the water that much clearer.

Window Sill

The residents in Venice had such beautiful flowers on their window sills all over the little alley ways. It was very much so what I had imagined Italy to look like.

Down Below!!

This picture was when I was in Venice on a tour through the hill-sides. The water was so clear and it was very shallow here. I thought that it was funny that there was bike in the water while looking at beautiful mountains and countryside.
