Traveler Photos of Cambridge

King's College, Cambridge Great scenery. We spotted this house on the way to Cambridge.  Cute. The mathematic bridge. Newton constructed it without using bolts supposedly. So then students took it apart to see how it works, couldn't quite figure it out, and now it's bolted.
