Green shrubbery venturing out past the cast iron fence of the University of Adelaide, along Victoria Drive. Happy Fence Friday!
Here’s another architectural abstract shot. I actually took this before the week of the theme. I went for a long photo walk with my friend Greg's Southern Ontario (catching Up Slowly). I think this is Victoria College, but Greg may correct me.
Oops, Greg corrected me -- it's University College.

Stanford was founded by a railroad magnate, U.S. Senator, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles." Stanford University’s original campus opened in 1891, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for co-designing New York City's Central Park. Olmsted's design for Stanford featured a grand, open quadrangle surrounded by low-rise buildings in a Mission Revival style, which became a defining architectural feature of the campus. The main buildings were designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge of the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, under Olmsted’s guidance.
Continuing our tour of the Bodleian. I recognised this room, Convocation House, as soon as I entered it. For some time parliament met here, during the Civil War (1642-9) when Oxford was used by the Royalists as an alternative to Westminster. Oxford did indeed become the King's capital and residence after he was forced to withdraw from London in Nov 1642. I think I recognised it from woodcut illustrations of the time which I studied as part of my degree, studying the Civil War for a whole year under the quite brilliant and eccentric Prof Ronald Hutton.
The University has used this room for 300 years as a meeting place for Convocation and Congregation and it continues to be used today for conferring degrees.
I had to sneak away from the tour to get this empty and have worked on it extensively to remove red ropes and pieces of laminated paper from the seating at the end as well as trying to bring up the shadows and not burn out the light. i find it stunningly beautiful in its simplicity.
