A Beautiful Day in Scotland

Media_httpapiningcomf_kjfmd

I had never been anywhere in Scotland except for Edinburgh so I decided to take a day trip all through the country with the main destination being Loch Ness.  While driving, one of the stops was this small Loch with this amazing view.  Right there just hanging around the shore was a swan. 

I love this photo because the scenery was perfect and the swan just happened to be there all by itself.  Being my first time seeing such scenery, this photo will always remind me of that day and what beauty is out there in the world.  I wouldn't trade that day for anything.

This photo was taken on my study abroad trip in Nottingham before I went to school on July 18th. I met a very nice guy named Kieran Fletcher who works at the pub I frequently visit. He is one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. He came to see me before going to make deliveries that morning, and this is what I woke up to. This trip was memorable before but I don't know a single person in the world who can say they have had the same wonderful experience. I never thought I would find a boyfriend in Britain but he is pretty dang close. Roses always die, but I will have this picture and this memory forever.

  Sit and look at this picture for a minute.  Think about when you took it, what was happening, the people or things in it, what conversations you've had about it, whether you like it or not, what it means to you, you know, reflect on it.
 
This picture moderately sums up my time in Whitby. I looked at the grounds, the people before me and the gray skies. Though, I don't appreciate this photo as much as Joe (the subject), as my intentions were to show the more glamourous look of Whitby and how the people there might take it for granted. Being from the United States (more specifically, Arizona, which holds the Grand Canyon and is near California as I had to explain to some Britts), we don't have the scenery like this, or the opportunity to even dress like this most times of the year.
 

The Hiking Pug Puppy

This photo was taken at the top of a vortex hike in Sedona Arizona. My puppy was about ten months old at the time and I was naturally a concerned parent of sorts, worrying about whether he could handle a climb like this. He surprised me though, often leaping up onto large rocks that were higher than the elevation of my couch at home, a couch he can't seen to jump onto. Once we reached the top, I leaned back to rest and enjoy the surge of energy flowing through me from what some natives consider to be one of the many sacred locations in Arizona. My pug however, had anything but energy left and he found a comfy spot to lay down, resting his head on my side. He fell asleep shortly after and I found myself carrying him back down the climb for the most part.

Nottingham Caves- An Accidental Wonder

This picture was not meant to be taken and yet it is my favorite.
During World War II the Nottingham caves were used as bomb shelters. I was very fascinated with all the history that filled these 1000 year old caves. I took this picture as I was exiting the caves and people were just pushing me along. I did not let this stop me because I really wanted an outside picture of the streaming lights that illuminated the cave. This picture is the product of my determination. While I was leaving I had this sudden rush of relief that spread over my entire body. I feel like this picture conveys, not only mine but all the people who lived there, feelings of wanting to get out. -Kelsey Hood

This is a picture of an American tourist on the to of the Tower of Scots in Edinburgh Scotland. It was a crazy climb 300 stairs in a small tunnel. when some one would come down there was barley enough room. The climb was worth it to see the whole city from a birds eye view  

Farmhouse in Germany, aerial photograph - @acediscovery

I took this on a flight from London to Salzburg. Initially, I thought this was in Austria, but, as Salzburg airport is just inside the Germany-Austria border, it's Germany. 

I like the photo as it's so very green and I like the pseudo-geometric patterns made by the fields.  

My favourite thing about flying is taking photographs out of the window - I have around 80 images on flickr - so I'm happy this is my "most interesting". Seeing the world from above is a unique perspective, and it makes me realise that we're very lucky to be able to see it. This image is actually pretty banal, but can give us hints about the geography in the area.

This was one of the hundreds of photos I took during a visit to the Eden Project in Cornwall. I had been there several times before - only used to live in the next county - but I'd never taken as many photos as this time. Maybe, because this time, I was in the company of two other keen photographers and we did nothing but go click click click... 
The Eden project truly is a celebration of life. Of plants, of seeds, of water and of the cells that make up...well - everything. I never thought this particular picture would ever top my "Most interesting" on Flickr, but for some reason it has.  
To me, this photo makes me think about our own role in Universe. Just, for a minute, look at an aerial photo of, say, the Amazon River. The river catchment looks just like the blood vessels in our own bodies, from arteries to capillaries. I think we are all just a little smidgen part of this endless universe, playing our own minute little smidgen role. We might not be big, but we are all needed, we all have our place and our roles to play. It goes on forever and forever and forever and forever and forever and...
