Photos


In front of the Radcliffe Camera of the Bodleian Library. Yeah, I study in that building!


In front of the wrought-iron gates of All Souls College.


The Bridge of Sighs, Oxford.


The Basilique du Sacre Coeur.


A small, small part of the enormous Cimitiere Pere Lachaise.


The Opera Garnier.


The quartz crystal tunnel at the Memorial de la Deportation.


The extensive grounds at Versailles


Just one of the hundreds of rooms at Versailles


The family at Chartres.


Shameful.


I was family photographer for the trip. Here's the back of Notre Dame from a bridge over the Seine.


Le Tour Eiffel.


Notre Dame.


Brother bonding in front of the Louvre.


The three literary Oles at Slain's Castle in Aberdeen.


Valentine's Day prom. Dress: funky fresh.


St. Peter's bop night. Theme: anything but clothes. This is our prom photo prior to leaving. My date and I are toga-clad. The orange couple on the right ironed together plastic grocery bags, and the couple on the right mixed and matched grocery bags and newspaper. We're a classy bunch. And no, there's no particular reason for the sunglasses.


Staring out to sea.


I don't think I'd have fit in half the passageways of Medieval Britain.


The dilapidated tower of Dunnottar Castle.


Me being majestic?


I shed my tears over Greyfriars Bobby's grave. Wiki the story, it's a good one.


The view from our hostel in Edinburgh. Not too shabby.


God save the Queen.


The ruins of Holyrood Abbey, open to the sky.


I'm ready to climb Mons Meg, the huge cannon at Edinburgh Castle. The sign says not to. I'm such a rebel.


In front of Edinburgh Castle.


Hume and I contemplate empiricism on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.


Me and my banana bread.


Snow in Oxford! This is the view from my window.


The entryway at Christ Church, the city's most illustrious college, and the site of several Harry Potter filming locations, including the great hall.


Me in my St. Peter's choir garb outside the chapel. The little "tail" is from my Oxford gown.


The red telephone booth.


St. James' Park at sunset. The Eye is in the background.


Me in Paddington. This one's for you, Keeg.
