The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford. It is also a copyright deposit library and its collections are used by scholars from around the world.
The buildings within the central site include Duke Humfrey's Library above the Divinity School, the Old Schools Quadrangle with its Great Gate and Tower, the Radcliffe Camera, Britain’s first circular library, and the Clarendon Building.
In addition, the Bodleian consists of nine other libraries, in separate locations in Oxford: the Bodleian Japanese Library, the Bodleian Law Library, the Hooke Library, the Indian Institute Library, the Oriental Institute Library, the Philosophy Library, the Radcliffe Science Library, the Bodleian Library of Commonwealth and African Studies at Rhodes House and the Vere Harmsworth Library.
Teenagers chatting in the winter sun while sat inside one of the statue apertures of the 1737-1748-built Radcliffe Camera, the main reading room of the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England.
The building - originally a scientific library - was built following a bequest by in the 1714 will of John Radcliffe, the physician to King William III and Queen Mary II. It is the earliest example in England of a circular library and now holds books from the English, history, and theology collections. In the rooms below, there is space for around 600,000 books. John Radcliffe himself scorned book-learning and his contemporaries found great irony in the fact that he should be responsible for founding of a library. Sir Samuel Garth quipped that the endowment was “about as logical as if a eunuch should found a seraglio."

Oxford, 28 July, 2013.
The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford, is one of the oldest libraries in Europe, and in Britain is second in size only to the British Library with over 11 million items.
The Bodleian Library occupies a group of five buildings near Broad Street: these range in date from the late medieval Duke Humfrey's Library to the New Bodleian of the 1930s. Since the 19th century a number of underground stores have been built below parts of these.
Whilst the Bodleian Library, in its current incarnation, has a continuous history dating back to 1602, its roots date back even further. The first purpose-built library known to have existed in Oxford was founded in the fourteenth century by Thomas Cobham, Bishop of Worcester.

The Radcliffe Camera, in the centre of Radcliffe Square, was built in the 18th century as a science library. Since the mid-19th century it has served as a reading room for the Bodleian Library, the building beyond it on the right of this view.

One of the great things about living / working in a city such as Oxford is the way you get an opportunity to shoot different versions of the same subject over a number of years. This Bodleian detail is a good example of that, the version below in the comments was taken nearly five years ago.

This is another much photographed view of the Radcliffe Camera, and I've taken a fair few myself over the years. I particularly like this one because of the gorgeous sky and the two students sat in the archway.
The Camera, being one of the most recognisable Oxford University buildings, is often used as a photographic shorthand for Oxford. It should therefore stand to reason that the perfect shot could stand to make someone a lot of money. I'd better get back down there at sunrise tomorrow as it can't be too long before Nikon release a D400 (or D800).

Just round the corner from the Radcliffe Reflection shot, I think this is the Clarendon Building of the Bodleian reflection in a window of the New Bodleain Building.
The New Bodleian building on Broad Street in Oxford was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930s. It re-opened as the Weston Library in March 2015 after extensive refurbishment. 5 frame HDR.

This is one of those spots I just know I'll always get a good photo if I wait long enough, that is, if it's mid summer. For anyone wishing to try this themselves you'll have to wait a few more weeks as the Sun needs to higher in the sky for this early evening shot.
