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

Istanbul















Istanbul is a fantastic fusion of west meets east. We enjoyed wandering around the old streets, sipping Turkish coffee from elaborate wee cups, bargaining at the Grand Bazaar, and experiencing the Turkish bath which I must confess was a rather strange experience. Photos were taken at Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, the Grand Bazaar and on the Bosphorus.

Highlights from a Scottish spring
































My parents came to visit Scotland and we had an epic adventure driving around the country. There was lots of eating, laughter and of course I took advantage of the brilliant scenes by taking photos. Here is a small selection from St Conan's Kirk, the Isle of Mull, Staffa, Glencoe, Arisaig, the Isle of Skye and Aberdeenshire.
