I wouldn’t consider myself a photographer. But I do love photography, and I’ve taken several courses over the years. Although, in the grand scheme of photography, I could still learn so much more about lighting techniques, camera functions, Photoshop, etc.
That being said, my lack of extensive knowledge and professional experience doesn’t stop me from taking photos while I travel. As I mentioned in my recent post you’re already home… I’m currently visiting the United Kingdom. The following are edited images from my time here in England.

Your photos have made me want to go and visit the royal arcades in Norwich when I visit England later this month, so you are doing something right! It looks really interesting. THanks for sharing.
Norwich is a delightful city. The royal arcade itself isn’t anything super special, it just has some fun shops and boutiques. However, I just love it because of the stunning art nouveau style of the architecture. If you do go to Norwich, it is right near the castle mall and the market.
Goes to show how much I know about England, I thought it was a suburb of London!! The architecture is stunning. Will be sure to find it if I make it here. Thanks.
