Steph's Photography

Would you like a cup of tea..?

Hey there!

Last week I went on a class trip to England. We hired a coach and started our journey with the following stops:

Kiel, Germany - Rotterdam, The Netherlands - York, England -

Stratford-upon-Avon, England - Burford, England - Oxford, England - London, England -

Calais, France - Kiel, Germany

When we arrived in Rotterdam we took the night ferry to Hull, England.

The next morning we drove to York where we went on a sightseeing tour and a minster visit.

The Treasurers House with its marvellous garden

Now the York Minster is an ancient cathedral situated in the centre of the city. It amazes with great architecture and lots of historical facts.

The next day we proceeded to the birthplace of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon.

It is a lovely, small town located along the river Avon. When we had some spare time we hired a rowing boat and explored the waterway.

The town reminds of medieval time and when walking around the town one can understand Shakespeare's origin of creativity.

That's it for now, I'll post the rest of the journey in another blog post the following week!

Thank you for reading.

Spanish summer..

Hey there!

As I've already told you a few posts earlier on, I visited the Canarian Isles last summer.

I did find some more photographs I would like to share with you.

The Islands impress with nature, culture and beautiful architecture. Not to forget the amazing beaches and the maritime orientated lifestyle.

Serendipity..

Hey there!

Copenhagen is probably the most beautiful, most eco-friendly and happiest city in the world (well, that's my opinion..)

Christianshavn

Nyhavn at night

The city amazes with dynamic cafes, interesting/kind people and breath-taking architecture.

Byens Kro - cafe in the centre of CPH

Tivoli - theme park

Music, fashion, the arts in general can all be admired in the city of bicycles.

And bicycles are surely the most important means of transport. The two-wheelers can be found all over the city and bike lanes were built to ease up the traffic.

Students will find Copenhagen as an inspiring and interesting city to graduate university. The Royal Library offers a composition of old and new architecture and provides a safe learning space. Beautiful parks, such as the Botanical Garden or "Kongens Have" (= King's Garden) enchant every heart.

It has become my dream to live in Copenhagen one day, or even to be able to study at the university and be part of this city. Did you know that Danish people are the happiest people in the world?

Nature at its best..

Hey there!

Over the 6 weeks off school I travelled to the Canarian Isles with my family for recreational holiday.

We visited "La Gomera" and "El Hierro which are less visited by tourists.

The landscape is very fertile as the islands are from volcanic origin. Farmers cultivate bananas, sweet corn, wine, exotic fruit and avocados.

Unfortunately La Gomera recently had to face severe wild fires that destroyed parts of the precious national park.

I have been to this island many times. From when I was a little child until now, I always manage to see the beauty of the place.

I hope I could give you a small impression of the island through theses shots.

Thank you for reading.

Danish doors..

Hey there!

As I got to visit the marvellous Danish capital Copenhagen (dansk: København) for the last 3 days I noticed the mystic and elaborate doors.
