in which we attempt to break away for Hogwarts

Rebecca and I went to the Victoria & Albert on Saturday, and when we first walked up from the pedestrian subway (!) we encountered a room full of statues and sculptures of the human form. There were tons of people taking pictures, completely fascinated with these representations of shapes such as themselves. And that fascinated me. (The sculpture was great, too.) We were there to see Collect, an exhibit of functional art, but I plan to go back to look at the other exhibits sometime soon.


Our music class took a trip to Cambridge on Sunday to experience Evensong at King's College. We took a train out of King's Cross Station in London, so of course we had to visit Platform 9 3/4 of Harry Potter fame!


I really, really wanted to go on the Hogwarts Express, but I didn't have any luck this time.


After Evensong, we wandered around the King's College grounds. The light quality was honestly stunning; no photograph can do it justice. Still, here are two--the taller building to the right of the first image was the chapel where we attended Evensong, and the picture on the right is a reflection in a puddle.
