From the tower
Back from our stay in the cotswolds, it was not really a photography trip but a break away with photography thrown in.
On this day we visited the town of Oxford where I wanted to shoot a few landmarks but the best laid plans and all that, it was busy with many tourists as we expected and also very hot, Lowena to consider as well though she was so good taking it all in here stride with lots of fuss from so many nationalities, we also got trapped behind a police barrier for a long while as a procession of graduates in their robes walked from one building to another to receive their diplomas.
This shot was taken from the bell tower of University church of St Mary the Virgin, 127 steps up a stone spiral stair well but the views were breathtaking from all four sides , many more shots to come from the tower plus panoramas, I also shot some images inside as well.
My focus here was the building of Radcliffe camera part of the Bodleian Library complex , camera in this case means room and not camera.
We got back home on Friday to a water leak from our gas boiler which is upstairs in a cupboard so the contents underneath were soaking, British gas were called and were coming this morning but called to cancel, it`s a good job I have a large bucket and was not away for more than a week as it would have been through the ceiling. We also got back to see a mouse in our kitchen, we can now see where the little critter came in from the cavity wall so need to sort that out as well,arghhhhh.
