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: Fifth Avenue Apple Store, NYC

May 22, 2011

On my 2nd day in New York City I wandered up 5th Avenue for a spot of shopping on my way to Central Park. Just before I reached the park I saw the most beautiful Apple Store I’ve ever visited (in case you hadn’t already noticed, I’m a huge Apple fan). All shiny and made … More Photo Of The Week: Fifth Avenue Apple Store, NYC

Photo Of The Week: Empire State Building, NYC

May 15, 2011

Towards the end of my time in New York, I thought I’d better take a trip up the Empire State Building, just to see what all the fuss is about. And boy was I in for a shock…it was like nothing I’d ever seen before. I got up to the top (well, not the very … More Photo Of The Week: Empire State Building, NYC

Photo Of The Week: Brooklyn Bridge

May 8, 2011

While I was in New York, I thought it was vital that I walked the entire way across the Brooklyn Bridge, mostly just so that I could say I had, but also so that I could get a view of the city from the outside. It was a spectacular evening, and I reached Brooklyn just … More Photo Of The Week: Brooklyn Bridge

Photo Of The Week: Statue Of Liberty, NYC

May 1, 2011

Towards the end of my time in New York back in 2008, I ventured out to the port to catch the ferry over to Liberty and Ellis Islands, where I discovered that this National Monument is much larger (and taller) up close than I had ever thought! It was great to actually stand right underneath … More Photo Of The Week: Statue Of Liberty, NYC

Photo Of The Week: Santa Monica, LA

April 24, 2011

Midway through my trip around America, I made it to one of my favourite places in the world (that I’ve seen so far) – Los Angeles. More specifically, the stretch of beach that runs between Venice and Santa Monica Piers, starting with Venice boardwalk, full of shops and stalls and people from all walks of … More Photo Of The Week: Santa Monica, LA

Photo Of The Week: Havana, Cuba

April 17, 2011

On my recent trip to Cuba, I visited a restaurant called Vistamar, which looks out over the sea. I got there just in time to see the most breathtaking sunset I’ve ever experienced, casting a multitude of spectacular colours across the sky.

Photo Of The Week: Pike Place Market, Seattle

April 3, 2011

At the end of the my three month trip around America, my last stop was the wonderful city of Seattle, in the North West. I stayed with family friends for two weeks, and one afternoon we headed into the city to wander around Pike Place Market, one of the oldest continually operated public farmers’ markets … More Photo Of The Week: Pike Place Market, Seattle

Photo Of The Week: Whistler Blackcomb

March 27, 2011

At the end of my 3 month trip around America, I crossed the border into Canada and headed north to Whistler, where I learnt to snowboard. It’s such an incredibly beautiful place, with enormous mountains and bright white snow. I definitely want to go back one day.

Photo Of The Week: Coursegoules, France

March 20, 2011

Every summer since I was three years old, I’ve visited by Grandma’s house in the little village of Coursegoules, in the south of France. The village sits on the top of a mountain, and the house is located in the center of the village, as it used to be a hotel. Right next door is … More Photo Of The Week: Coursegoules, France

Photo Of The Week: Siena Duomo

March 13, 2011

In the summer of 2009 I visited Italy with my family and just like last year we went to Siena for an evening, to see the sights and sit at one of the many restaurants in the Piazza del Campo. While we were there we ventured over to the other side of the city to … More Photo Of The Week: Siena Duomo
