No one takes photos of things they want to forget

Hills Upon Hills Upon Hills

I saw this view while hiking through the Olympic Mountains in Washington.

The way the tree color changes on every hill caught my eye.

A Lake With No Name

Okay, it does have a name… I just don’t remember what it is.

My aunts, cousins, and I hiked to this lake for lunch while we were in Colorado. Right after we got up to the lake, it was as if we walked into a crappy Sci-fi movie from the early 60’s called “Attack of the Gnats.” We didn’t even get to eat before we were forced to head back down. There was some great scenery while it lasted!

Neuschwanstein Schloss

I’d been obsessing over this castle since middle school, when I drew it for one of my art projects in… seventh(?) grade. When I found out I’d actually be touring it, I was incredibly excited. It’s a beautiful castle. I’ll never forget the King’s bedroom. His bed with ornate wood carvings, the swans situated around the room, the rich curtain fabrics… Absolutely gorgeous. I’d go back, just to see the bedroom and the mosaic tiles of the throne room.

We weren’t allowed to take photos on the tour, but believe you me, if you ever see the buildings in this castle, you won’t ever forget them.

Hillside Homes

This was the view outside my friend Eric’s hotel room while we stayed in Switzerland. Separating what you see here in the photo and our hotel is the Sarnensee, or Lake Sarnen. I had a cute view myself, of the houses and the Alps behind us.

I had the best vegetable soup at this hotel and a delicious fruit drink. One night our German teacher, Frau P, bought beer for Maureen, Amber, and I. We had a fun time talking outside the hotel for a few minutes before dinner was served. I think I’ll stay at this hotel again if I go back.

Trees in Hofgarten Innsbruck

Wandering around the Hofgarten in Innsbruck, Austria I came across these incredible trees. The way that they were growing, twisting around, made it seem like with every movement you made, they moved as well. It was quite eerie, but beautiful.

Fall

Walking through the corn maze I saw these trees and had to take a photo of the vivid colors. It was the only time all season in which I saw trees with such vibrant shades (and they aren’t even that great…)!

We cheated at the corn maze by the way.
