Spring Break - Jonathan Edwards

My Spring Break was absolutely amazing! Ten days of backpacking through the UK and Ireland with Ben. I had every single experience you can expect when traveling: new friends, staying in hostels, walking ALOT, getting lost, and experiencing more culture in a day than I have in my lifetime so far. I could easy write a 10 page essay on my break (which I did on my personal blog) but I want to focus here on some of my favorite scenic photos which everyone seems to enjoy.

Ben and I traveled through England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. We experience some of the most awful weather I have ever seen and it rained 8 out of 10 days. However, there was sunshine that popped out of the clouds every now and then and I was able to snap some wonderful photos.

Saint Andrews, Scotland is the birthplace of golf and brings a solid meaning to the phrase "God's Green Earth." I could have stayed there for days on the green grass or sandy beach. The views drew me in and the sea washed away all my thoughts leaving me in a state of pure bliss. The photos that follow may look fake but I promise they are 100% real and that I took them with a simple Samsung camera.












I know this blog post is short for a 10 day trip, and honestly I could write much much more, but I think these few photos of Scotland say more about my trip than I actually can. I had the chance to witness true natural beauty of a kind not often found anywhere else in the world, and I will never forget that.
