Cordelia's London Summer

Hello Everyone, We have made it halfway through week 3, the final week of our study abroad trip. We have gotten to explore so many great places this week like Oxford, Loosely Gardens, and Tate Modern. While in Oxford, we got to see a play based off the book "The Ocean at The End of the Lane." It was so different than the other plays we've seen so far, and I loved it. The story was engaging and unique, I loved the ending, even though it was sad.  Here are some possible portfolio options! London Eye - 06/20/2023  This was taken during our night photography class, and I love the vibrant colors of the Eye, and I like how the trees look over the colors.  St Paul Cathedral - 06/20/2023 While we were walking towards Tate Modern, I got the chance to take this shot of the statue in front of the Cathedral. I like this angle because it looks like the statue is pointing at the viewer and the clock can be seen in the background.  Loosely Gardens - 06/19/2023 I have been...

 Hello Everyone, We have officially made it through week 2 of study abroad, one more to go! This week flew by, we got to explore the Kew Gardens, House of Dreams, and Blenheim Palace among so many other great locations. We also got to see the Circus which was such a treat as I haven't been to the circus in a long time. Here are some photo choices for my final portfolio.  Neal's Yard - 06/13/2023 Taken during our time in Neal's Yard. I love the vibrant colors of the building and flowers.  Blenheim Palace - 06/17/2023 This was taken while experimenting with Manual Mode. I like how it captures the water shotting up from the fountain. The colors of the Palace are beautiful behind the gardens.  Streets of Cotswolds - 06/17/2023 This was taken during our walk through the Cotswolds. I loved seeing all the gorgeous flowers. Among the different types were these Lavenders. I love this picture because of the vibrant Purple color and how the flowers fill the frame.  Ro...

 Hello Everyone,  this week has been really great, we got to explore the Kew Gardens, China town, and the Victorian Albert Museum. We also got to see an immersive experience of "Guys and Dolls" which definitely made the night memorable. The actors and actresses were amazing, and the choreography was brilliant! The Kew Gardens were gorgeous, they were so much bigger than I thought they'd be. While in the gardens, we got to explore the treetops and the Kew Palace (the home of George the 3rd and Queen Charlotte). Here are some photos from my week! Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023  This was taken at the Gardens behind the Kew Palace. I love the Palace because of the rustic red color. I think it really stands out against the green hedges.  Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023 Taken during our walk through the Gardens. I was drawn to these flowers because of the vibrant purple color and the unique circular shape.  China Town - 06/13/2023 Taken during our walk through China town, and I lo...

Hello Everyone, I have been in London for 1 week and it has been an amazing experience so far, and I am so excited to see what the next 2 weeks has to offer. I have spent the past week exploring Lacock Abby, Salisbury Cathedral, and many other beautiful places. I loved getting to the small town of Lacock because it all looked like it was from an old movie. While in Lacock, I got to see some of the sites used for filming a number of Harry Potter scenes such as the potions room and Harry Potter's parents' house.  Our class got to see "Comedy of Errors" at Shakespeare's Globe which was hilarious, entertaining , and a little emotional at the end.  Lacock Abby - 06/09/2023 This was taken outside Lacock Abbey, and I was drawn to it because of the symmetry of the two staircases which enter into the abbey.  Salisbury Cathedral - 06/10/2023 The Cathedral tour was the highlight of my day because of the amazing and intricate architecture....
