Spending a Day in Cambridge
College Tour - Black and White Photography
Our friend, Lars, was attending a conference in Cambridge on Saturday to promote Ren: The Girl with the Mark as the co-creator, writer, and producer of the web series. I strongly encourage you to check it out.
The series (five 10-minute episodes) has received several awards and it has been enticing to learn about the process from idea to fundraising, filming, and beyond.
We kept Lars company on the drive and explored the historical city core. Cambridge is home to some of the most prestigious and powerful colleges in the world. A myriad of alleys, bridges, and paths lead through the surrounding parks and along the river.
King’s College in Cambridge
Not entirely unintentionally, we overlooked a large "Private" sign and gained better access to some of the more intimate corridors, courtyards, and the Bridge of Sighs, a covered bridge at St. John’s College.
We were surprised at how many people had flocked to Cambridge on this fall day. We escaped some of the crowds walking along the Backs while catching glimpses of those bunting on the river.
It turns out it was a convocation weekend and there certainly was a sense of celebration in the air. Our thought-provoking observation for the weekend; Cambridge University has been around here for more than eight hundred years. Canada will celebrate 150 years as a country next year.
