Definitely one of my favourite shots of Blenheim Palace, the late afternoon sunlight and wonderful polarised sky combined for a striking result.

Worcester College front Quad and it's amazing lawn. Possibly one of my favourite Oxford shots.....
One of the problems with shooting so many photos and then only uploading three a day is that I have an ever growing backlog of images. This shot of the University of Oxford College was taken last Summer, I uploaded a few shots from that afternoon and then moved on leaving many more languishing on my hard drive, most not even processed. The shot below got to No.2 in Explore at the time so it seems only sensible to upload a few more from a rare afternoon wandering round some of the University of Oxford Colleges.

I'm always trying to find new shots of familiar landmarks, particularly when they're as iconic as Big Ben. This one's been inspired by photos seen in the photostreams of a couple of my Contacts (you know who you are). By tilting it to the right I thought it would make a good travel guide / brochure / magazine cover (hint, hint, any Picture Editors out there).
From Wikipedia : "Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is often extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well. Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009 (the clock itself first ticking on 31 May 1859), during which celebratory events took place."

I'm not sure why one of these Windsor Castle guards is messing up the nice symmetry. I don't know whether to photoshop him out or have him Court Marshalled ? You decide.

Moving to the outside of the De La Warr Pavilion, here's one of the fabulous balconies that wraps around the stair, giving great views along the Bexhill-on-Sea seafront. I've given this a Topaz / difused post-production to enhance the Summery feel.
I've created another in my occasional series of Galleries devoted to some of my talented Contacts, this time it's the turn of le-spikey :
