These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
Day 2: Oxford on a cold October day in 2012. We stayed here two nights.
Hertford Bridge, often called the Bridge of Sighs, is a skyway joining two parts of Hertford College over New College Lane in Oxford, England. Its distinctive design makes it a city landmark. The bridge links together the Old and New Quadrangles of Hertford College (to the south and the north respectively), and much of its current architecture was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. It was completed in 1914, despite its construction being opposed by New College.
This was the passage between Doge's Palace (on the left) where prisoners were tried for their crimes and the prison where they were going to suffer, thus the name.
Venice, Italy

Hertford Bridge, sometimes called the Bridge of Sighs due to its slight resemblance to the Venetian bridge of the same name. Oxford, England.
I'm working through editing this set of double row panos and not having a ton of luck; I'm pretty sure I need to learn new software to manage this. This photoshop edit came out kind of interesting though...
The first rain of the season in the Santa Cruz Mountains fell gently on Friday, but it should be enough to put this horrible fire season behind us. Overnight, the moisture of the storm condensed into low fog that respirated in and out of the redwood valleys and canyons at dawn. You could almost feel the mountains breathing a sigh of relief.
The "fall color" you see on the distant ridge are trees charred by the CZU Complex fires in August.

You may have noticed me on Flickr a little less. Well I was on an island for two weeks but I've been back home long enough now. I really haven't been feeling the motivation to shoot lately as much as I used to. I feel pretty bad about it. The past few days I've gotten out though. I've been letting unedited images pile up though. Tonight I'm going to try and catch up. I might end up posting a lot tonight just to do it.
This is from Acadia NP... I hardly took any photos there... it was so pretty
The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge's English name was bequeathed by Lord Byron in the 19th century as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri", from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time that the bridge was built,[citation needed] and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals.[citation needed] In addition, little could be seen from inside the bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows.
