Category: Photo of the Week

Every week I’ll upload a photo that captures my mood. Or just a photo that I love.

Photo Of The Week: The Northern Lights

October 9, 2011

Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in Iceland In October 2005 I went on a school trip to Iceland, one of the most incredible places I’ve ever visited. I actually think that it was this trip that sparked the love of travel in me…for the first time I really felt and understood that freedom and opportunity that … More Photo Of The Week: The Northern Lights

Photo Of The Week: Niagara Falls

October 2, 2011

The Falls One of our first major sightseeing stops this summer was, of course, Niagara Falls, one of the Wonders of the World. And oh boy, did it live up to expectations. The sheer amount of water careering over those clifftops was just incredible, let alone the speed at which it fell and the sound … More Photo Of The Week: Niagara Falls

Photo Of The Week: Friends Reunited

September 25, 2011

This weekend I went up to Crewe to visit two of my bestest friends from uni, after not having seen them for over 3 months. With heaps of laughs, pasta bake, chicken pie and banana cake, it was a weekend well spent, and lovely to see the girls!

Photo Of The Week: I Have A Dream

September 18, 2011

This engraving can be found right outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC – it is where Martin Luther King stood as he gave his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech. I think it’s pretty apt right now in my life, as all my own dreams are slowly turning into realities…anyone can dream, but it’s … More Photo Of The Week: I Have A Dream

Photo Of The Week: Hello Connecticut

September 11, 2011

This really should have been last week’s POTW but I got a bit sidetracked by the whole goodbye element of my photos. So here’s one from Washington DC, where we all stood under the Connecticut sign on the WWII memorial, celebrating our time spent there at Camp Sloane this summer.

Photo Of The Week – Times Square Goodbyes

September 4, 2011

Our numbers have dwindled. People have left for the UK and beyond one by one, leaving just a few of us in NYC. And today it was time for some more goodbyes, so we headed to the iconic steps at Times Square for a few more moments of fun and laughter.

Photo Of The Week: On Top Of The World

August 28, 2011

Last week, on our last full day in Toronto, I ventured up the CN Tower, one of the world’s tallest towers, with some friends. It offered some incredible views, spanning across the entire city, rivalling those of the Empire State Building!

Photo Of The Week: Sloane Vs. Hi Rock

August 14, 2011

Yesterday was the annual soccer game against Camp High Rock – Staff vs. Staff – and what a match it was, with High Rock taking the lead only minutes in. But Sloane soon found their stride and, with a lot of (loud) support from the entire camp, we came out victorious, with 6 goals to … More Photo Of The Week: Sloane Vs. Hi Rock

Photo Of The Week: 17 Miles To The Falls

August 7, 2011

On my day off this week, me and my friend Mark decided to cycle to Falls Village to visit, yes, you guessed it, the massive waterfall there. What we didnt realise when we started out on our journey was quite how far away it really was. 8 and a half miles each way to be … More Photo Of The Week: 17 Miles To The Falls
