College Street



Location : From the South Window of the tower, St Andrews, Scotland

This is maybe the most beautiful proper street of the inner St Andrews (there are little wynds that have more charm). Only old houses from the 17th century and maybe one or two from late 19th. Pedestrian and covered in cobble stones.

Peeping Through the Window




Location: From the bells chamber, St Salvator's tower, St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Contrast, a lot

This is a view towards the North. We can see the Art History department's roofs just before the sea. The trees are growing at the back of St Salvator's Lawn and on the Scores.
The big "windows" on the tower are covered by a metallic fence probably to avoid pigeon to live inside. I played with them, the reason of the crossed back shapes.

Up my Realm





Location : In the St Salvator's Tower, St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Contrast, very slightly.

I am captain of St Salvator's Tower, which does not mean much except that I am in charge of ringing the bells and I hold the keys of the tower, from the very bottom to the very top. My secret Kingdom.

Ya Stop Hear Yoar Bloudy Frenchman




Location : Physics & Astronomy Department, St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Contrast

At the start of las week, there was a power cut in the department which prevented us from having classes on Monday. I went there as part of my job as photographer of the student newspaper.

The Viaduct

This is the old railroad bridge from the time St Andrews had a train station. Now it is a convenient shortcut to reach the badlands and is the way I take almost everytime.

Another view of St Andrews, the West Sands beach alongside which are the links, where golf was invented. Further on, there is the Eden estuary, then the Tenstmuir forest, and the Firth of Tay and behind it Dundee.

I will try to take roughly the same picture every week. I hope to have over a long period of time an evolution of weather and agricultural life around that little wood on top of Scooniehill

Direction: To the Edge of the World




Location : From the Top of St Salvator's Tower, St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Huge increase of contrast

Being a foggy day, only a small part of the colour spectrum was used so I needed to increase contrast quite alot which in a way was a good thing. When I took the shot I was wishing for something a bit mystical, which I think kind of a appeared with the shadow of the lens' edge on the photo.

Badland Park





Location : Nameless park, South of St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Contrast, slightly

Almost all the residential area south of Watson Avenue in St Andrews is usually called "The Badlands". Linving in the deepest part of that strange realm I can say that is not that bad. What is most impressive is the amount of little hidden footpaths winding between houses and creating many a shortcut and alternative path to lectures. And sometimes one can find a park between the houses, only reachable through one of these path. It is wonderful, quiet and well maintained.

Spider Web



Location : Horseleys Park, St Andrews, Scotland
Changes : Contrast, a little

This was taken on my way to the University. There is a 15 to 20 minutes walk depending on how quick (aka how late) we are. On that morning a week or so ago, there was a lot of dew and still a lot of spiders around. It was a pity I did not have time to take more pictures, there were great shots to be taken on that morning.
