Cambridge | England

Perhaps calmness belies chaos, or at least hides it! 

While in Cambridge, surrounded by buildings owing their design to Gothic architecture, a doorway fascinated us. It was an altogether typical doorway, one you might see at any of the entrances to the several colleges of Cambridge. This particular doorway, which led to Trinity College, seemed calm yet intriguing at every level. A stilled bicycle, an opened door, a distant doorway beckoning visitors to cross the threshold. And the reality? Not a singular bicycle, but hundreds just inside the doorway. And not a solitary bicycle, but well companied by the dozens of people who passed through this busy pedestrian street. We seized upon that fleeting moment of stillness - and will remember to remind ourselves that we may choose to find peace where we will.
