About Me

My photo
I am a Canadian currently living in Scotland. I moved to the UK initially to pursue graduate work at the University of Oxford and am now a PhD student based in Scotland. Over the past few years I've lived in England, Scotland and Egypt, and continue visiting Canada frequently. This is really just a diary of photographs highlighting some of the places I've visited since moving to the UK. Photography allows me to savour my surroundings and reflect on my experiences more vividly. If you have any questions please send me an email: sarah.hynek@gmail.com

Studying with a view










We often sit outside, hot drinks in hand, and read. These are our surroundings and they are about 15 seconds from our flat. How fortunate we are: huge trees, winding pathways, cute forest creatures, a park and river below.

Orange petals




Autumn waves on the North Sea








The beach in Aberdeen provides a fantastic location for picture-taking. In one direction the beach makes its way south toward the city, and in the other direction the beach travels north for miles, hugging the dunes and golf courses, with nothing really in sight. There are very few people on the beach and at times, one can find they are completely alone listening to the crashing waves and watching the moonrise (and it rises early these days!) An added bonus -- seeing dolphins in the distance or seals bobbing nearby inquisitively staring.
