Some 40+ years ago I lived in Oxford, England, for 2 years.
During my trip to the UK & Europe earlier this year, a re-visit here was an essential component of my itinerary. Once again I marvelled at the glorious architecture and sense of history (even though the bold commercialism of today was this time much more evident).
Going clock-wise (from the left) around the collage below, these colourful boats were adjacent to Magdalen Bridge awaiting eager and energetic customers; a very weathered doorway giving access to one of the college grounds; part of Magdalen College; Oxford's "Bridge of Sighs" linking two parts of Hertford College; the beautiful tower of Merton College, and finally the outside edge of the original City wall, abutting Christchurch Meadow.

Lovely series of buildings. The colorful boats are a pretty capture. Have a happy week!
Traveling somewhere like Oxford I imagine I would be lost in all the details of history and architecture.....wondering around behind my camera for hours at a time, struck with awe and wonder.
Oxford is in my neck of the woods growing up, thank you I have enjoyed the revisit through your eyes today!

A beautiful city - not a patch on Cambridge of course :)
So charming - what a lovely collage.
I never tire of visiting Oxford thank you for sharing your photos.
It must be a charming city to visit – your collage shows it. I did get a degree from one of the Cambridge colleges when I studied in the UK, so I never got a chance to go to Oxford.
That would have been interesting to visit old haunts of your youth. The photos of Oxford are lovely as is that great city.
