Random Walks

Travel#

I spent my childhood in Kurseong and Calcutta in India. My youth in Madison and Seattle, USA. On the first day of the COVID lockdown, I moved to Cambridge, UK, and then subsequently moved to London 9 months later. I now live permanently in Oxford, where my wife Vicky, and I own a home. Below are a few pictures of places we’ve been lucky to see. I took the low-quality photos. The pretty ones were captured by Vicky.

The images might take a little bit of time to load. They are pulled off from a server running on the cheapest digital ocean machine I could find.

If someone would like any of their photos taken down, please email me.
