Durham is a very picturesque town that is just asking to be photographed, with many wonderful sights with the cathedral (a UNSEO world heritage sight too!) and castle being two fine examples of the architecture on offer. The walk along the river allows you to encompass all of these sights as well as providing good opportunities to photograph them.

Since the first week of arriving, I've been planning to do this but it has taken this long for some unknown reason. The summer will provide some amazing opportunities for more photos of these sights I am sure.

After failing to post photos everyday for the past week, I decided to put them all up here. I have still been taking photos but it's been a hectic week so I was unable to keep up and ended up with bad habits.

However, this week is going to be different (hopefully) and here are seven photos for the past seven days. Enjoy!

After a lovely (traffic jam free) journey down up the A1 motorway, I popped into the Metro Centre to pick up a few things from Marks and Spencer. It has the clame of Europe's largest shopping and leisure centre, with four main quadrants and 330 shops! It can be easy to get lost if you don't know the place and tracking down a single shop can be neigh impossible. For any prospective shoppers, sticking to evenings is a good bet if you want hassle free shopping. Visiting at 2:00pm on a Saturday is an easy way to drive you insane.

Obviously, this means I am away from Durham for a few days and it is a nice break to back home. Being at university does crazy things to you - jumping from one part of life to another.
