    Gothic 15th century building, just happens to be....

    my uni

    i love my uni, i think it's such a gorgeous building. I'd have taken more photos but today seemed to be the day of battery death. My camera batteries died and my phone died at the same time!

    anyway here's 2 pics i did manage to take!


    the cloisters dividing the 2 courtyards.


    the clock tower - I wanted this to come out better but the sun was really bright and i couldnt see the viewer right, plus, where i was standing was at the top of a really steep drop, so didnt want to step backwards much further! lol

    The tower is very looming.

    Any chance you can darken the sky a bit to make it look foreboading?

    yeah, i wanted to get a lanscape of the whole uni on the hill, but my batteries died will get it eventually!

    Every time i look up at the tower or any part of the main building i get tingles down my spine. It's been there for so long and stayed so perfectly beautiful! Even the classrooms in the main building are just the same as they were centuries ago, it's like walking back in time! If i could get in there to take some pics i would, maybe once term starts again!

    I'm thinking about going back up again in the middle of the week to take more photos so stay tuned!

    This is my (quick) attempt at trying to make this tower look more foreboading. Kinda went to the haunted style tho.




    Just applied a quick Solarize filter to the sky, couldn't get it to work on the windows, so it kinda looks more magical.
