Tom Tower

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Foto presa amb una Rolleiflex 3.5F fabricada entre 1969 i 1971; Carl Zeiss Planar f3.5 / 75mm; Ilford Delta 100 revelat amb Perceptol 1+1. Mireu-les en mida gran!

 

El pati principal del Christchurch College, conegut com a Great Quad o Tom Quad, és el més gran de tots els patis universitaris d'Oxford (o "quads", de quadrangle, com es coneixen localment).

 

Fou disenyat com un gran claustre, però les porxades no s'arribaren a construir. Està dominat per la Tom Tower, que també li dona nom.

 

====================

 

Picture taken with a Rolleiflex 3.5F, made c.1969-1971; Carl Zeiss Planar f3.5 / 75mm lens; Ilford Delta 100 developed in Perceptol 1+1. Looks much better in large size!

The largest quad in Oxford is the Great Quad, aka Tom Quad, in Christchurch College. It's dominated by the beautiful Tom Tower, and originally it was going to be a large cloister, like the ones in New College or Magdalen College. But the arches were never built.
