By the time we reached Cambridge itself, had done some wandering and had a pleasant late lunch at Harriet’s (great food, less great service) [they have a pianist though!], it was starting to get dark. An excellent opportunity to practise some night photography techniques, including some long-exposure shots of the Cam – punts included…

He even managed to capture some beautifully soft light quality (I think, anyway!) in this shot, taken of Mathematical Bridge at Queens’ College.

We sat outside King’s College, rather interested in the cars and cyclists and their lights… Not too dissimilar to these shots, taken near the Royal Albert Hall a while back.

Finally, we headed to St Catharine’s College, apparently [I think she means indisputably] the best college by far…

…I suppose it does look rather pretty.
