Stardust Memorial Park Follow-Up


As promised in my blog post "Stardust Memorial Park," I've some more pictures here for you. These are to show - as my lecturer describes it - the "political aspect" of the park. The political aspect here is how humans have affected the park and the wildlife. I only have a few photos as I mainly concentrated on taking lovely photos of the swans while at the park, but I hope that these will still get the message across.

The park is right on the border of a housing estate. 


These are two swans I hung out with in their littered lake.

Autumn Movies List 2013

Seeing as it's now suddenly Winter again (whaaaaat?), it's time for me to update my movies list. I'm very aware that I haven't done "Movie Night" in a while, but I'm busy so I'll be doing it soon!

To be honest this list is longer than I expected. I thought it would be half the length of the summer one (seeing as I counted summer as May to August and had so much time off) but I only watched four less films. I've watched a few on TV that I never took note of too. It's quite surprising to see the length of the list! Anyway, on with the Winter Movies List!

Stardust Memorial Park

This week I've gotten my laptop back fully fixed which means it's a lot easier for me to update my blog. So get ready for more posts!

Over the weekend for my photography assignment, I took photos in the Stardust Memorial Park. It's in remembrance of all the people who lost their lives in the Stardust nightclub. There was a fatal fire which killed 48 people and injured 214, out of the 841 people that were there. 

I enjoy taking photos because until I get home and look at them, I don't really notice how cool the can be. I figured I'd put up a few of my favourites here.

On Thursday I'll have more pictures of the park up, but they'll be a bit different.
