Taken at the Applegarth Hotel about half way up the main stairs. We've been staying there for the past few days and the way the light hits the place can be just magical at times - I have though missed the one shot I wanted to take :( - should you ever get the opportunity, this is one place that's well worth staying at.

The collective amount of effort in that hall needed to not only acquire a degree, but to do it at home, away from the four walls of academia, often alongside a full-time job and family commitments is quite staggering. It was a nice day, it has to be said.
