OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I really like the community spirit in Cambridge. Being a University community, there is a busyness that you would expect. I think this ‘busyness’ probably encourages, motivates and even excites the local shopkeepers and public in general. I enjoyed the ‘vibe.’ If you have watched the movie ‘The Castle,’ you will understand the importance of the vibe! 

It was a very cool Tuesday morning 3rd March - 4 degrees I think. We left Tom at Trinity College as we made our way to Trinity Lane. 

Heather, Jessy, Annabelle and myself walked across a bridge over the River Cam to reach Trinity Lane and the greater Cambridge Community. I enjoyed photographing the beautiful Cambridge streets (Trinity lane in particular) and the many cyclists that are the heartbeat of this vibrant city. 

Before breakfast, Heather, Jessy and Annabelle walked around the Cambridge Markets as I continued to embrace my photography. 

I had breakfast at Michaelhouse cafe - scrambled eggs and mushrooms on steroids. Heather, Jessy & Annabelle had fruit and cheese scones. Afterwards we went to Great St Mary’s church and I climbed the Tower which provided panoramic views of the historic city of Cambridge. On a clear day you can see as far as Ely Cathedral! The climb up the tower, was very stressful given the steep ascent and claustrophobic nature of the narrow stairwell. Nevertheless I was so pleased to get to the top to enjoy the photo opportunities.

We returned to the car via Trinity Lane after a very enjoyable Family time together.

For me, from a photographic perspective, Cambridge Community is one of the best locations for capturing the spiritual essence of the people in this wonderful community. 

I look forward to returning!
