Taryn's Adventures

This blog is to capture our wonderful memories of our travels abroad - Boston (19 June 2012 - 15 June 2013), London (29 September 2013 - 5 July 2014) and Oxford (1 October 2015 - Current). A tale of two South Africans living abroad... a poet/husband/advisor/eternal optimist studying political Theory at Oxford University, wanting to better the world, and me, a third generation Chinese South African who is the Executive Director of READ to RISE and children's book illustrator.

The Literal Series - By Taryn Lock

Taking the world very literally!

My new project #TheLiteralSeries is a collection of photos which cleverly capture the literal meaning of common everyday English words/sayings.

Here are a few photos from my collection:

"See you later, Alligator!"

"Water under the bridge"

"Cat scan"

"Mug shot"

Visiting All Souls College, Oxford University

I visited All Souls College which is opposite the Radcliffe Camera. It is grand, majestic and really beautiful! It is one of the bigger colleges with a grand chapel and two courtyards.

They allow visitors to the college weekdays 2pm-4pm.
