Surely Oxford's most attractive building, if not one of the country's, you can never have too many photos of the Radcliffe Camera can you........

From Wikipedia : "The Radcliffe Camera (Camera, meaning "room" in Latin; colloquially, "Rad Cam" or "The Camera") is a building of Oxford University, England, designed by James Gibbs in neo-classical style and built in 1737–49 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is sited to the south of the Old Bodleian, north of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, and between Brasenose College to the west and All Souls College to the east. The Radcliffe Camera's striking circularity, its position in the heart of Oxford, and its separation from other buildings make it the focal point of the University of Oxford, and as such it is almost always included in shorthand visual representations of the university.
The library's construction and maintenance was funded from the estate of John Radcliffe, a notable doctor, who left £40,000 upon his death in 1714. According to the terms of his will, construction only began in 1737, although the intervening period saw the complex purchase of the site. The exterior was complete in 1747 and the interior finished by 1748, although the library's opening was delayed until 13 April 1749."

I've uploaded a B&W version of this before but the colour version seemed worth uploading too.

A new version of this view of the Bodleian Library Radcliffe Camera. I'd seen many great shots of Oxford's most famous building with long grass and weeds during lockdown (such as this one : www.flickr.com/photos/155183180@N03/50004657891/in/pool-r... ). Unfortunately on the day I visited recently it looks like they'd only just cut the grass.
Hopefully I won't get another chance to ever shoot it with long grass again any time soon..........

So, Black and White or Colour........
Perhaps unsurprisingly I've photographed this view of All Souls College many times since first arriving in Oxford over 32 years ago. This is probably my best version yet thanks to the wonderful shadows on the floor created by the ornate gates through which I've stuck my camera lens to take this.

From Wikipedia : "All Souls College (official name: College of the Souls of All the Faithful Departed) is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become fellows (i.e. full members of the college's governing body). It has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduate and postgraduate students at Oxford are eligible to apply for examination fellowships through a competitive examination (once described as "the hardest exam in the world") and, for those shortlisted after the examinations, an interview.
All Souls is one of the wealthiest colleges in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £420.2 million (2018). However, since the college's principal source of revenue is its endowment, as of 2007 it only ranked 19th among Oxford colleges in total income. All Souls is a registered charity under English law.
The college is located on the north side of the High Street adjoining Radcliffe Square to the west. To the east is The Queen's College with Hertford College to the north.
The current warden (head of the college) is Sir John Vickers, a graduate of Oriel College, Oxford."
