Congratulations to Teddy Petrova and Katie Bayles, winners of the Spring 2009 Photo Contest!
| First-Place winner Love Locks Just-married Latvian couples follow the tradition of "locking" their love on bridges of Riga's main park. The superstition is that [by doing so] their love will hold, the way the locks stay on the bridge. They also have their names engraved on the locks. On the bridge, you can also see smaller locks locked onto the larger ones. These are the "love locks" of the children of married couples. | |
![]() | Second-Place winner The Gondolier This image captures a gondolier at sunset on the Grand Canal in Venezia. Our professor [Profesor Scott Sheridan, 2008 London Program Director] took the whole group to Italy on our mid-term break and it is there that we were all able to ride the traditional gondolas. Venice is both the City of Water and the City of Light, and I think this image captures the wonderment we all had that last night in this Italian paradise. |
