For my last Shakespeare play a group of us went to a modern rendition of Twelfth Night. The whole night was beyond interesting. The play took place off of Archway tube stop, up a 20minute hike of a hill, in the second floor or a pub. Thinking is was a modern rendition of the Twelfth Night I was expecting the play to be quite similar to one of my favorite movies, She’s the Man. The whole time not meaning to I was comparing the two. This actually helped make more since of the play since I have never read Twelfth night before. The play was a modern version with the classic lines. It was interesting to see how the actors interpreted certain lines, such as a cloak were sunglasses, and songs were played on the “Wii”. It was an interesting interpretation of the play, but one I would not recommend. It did however, made me respect the comical, “She’s The Man” for all of the ties it includes to Twelfth Night.

These pictures were takin at Blenhiem Place. The grounds at the Palace were to large and so cool. I Could not imagine living there. I liked this little picture of the tree standing out. I could picture the group of boys playing up in the tree. This picture was taken at Oxford. I really liked this big tree and thought that it complimented the building structure. I placed this picture in black and white so I could more fully see the contrast between the shape of the tree and the building.
I took this picture as one of our walk and shot joke pictures. looking back this is how I picture the place. All of the landscape we saw was just for a quick glance. The whole palace actually was a very fast trip and this picture looks like something you snap in the car to remember a place by. And this is that for me, my snap shoot to remember so I can look back and tell myself, I did walk around the gardens.
The two pictures about me and the one below me were all taken at Blenhiem palace. The picture right above me I really enjoy because of the fall colors. The trees were almost all bare but this bunch of trees still had their reads in tact. IT almost looks like christmas because of the reds of the trees and the green of the grass.

I like the way the pathway and trees reflected on this hill. It leads your eyes down to the pond and your eyes follow the pond till it disappears.
This picture was taken in Leister Square. Megan and I went here after Paraliment and loved all of the Christmas trees and the little carnival that was going on. I did not want to capture the carnival but more so the Christmas trees with the old fashioned lamp posts. I put the picture in black and white so the parts carnival that were showing should be back instead of bright pink.
