Bus Challenge No 28!

OR

The Leaning Radcliffe Camera of Oxford!!

(My wide angle lens has a habit of distorting verticals!)

A day out in Oxford was planned, forgetting the fact that teenagers don't get out of bed until gone midday! Combined with roadworks around Oxford, our late departure meant that by the time we'd parked and taken the Park and Ride bus into the centre of Oxford, we actually only had two hours. But they were a very pleasant two hours.

Our main priority was to find a new school bag for K, my Goddaughter, so no time really to take photos other than a few quick snaps. But once we'd found a suitably stylish bag, we popped into The Ashmoleum for a bite to eat in the café, then wandered back to the bus past The Bodleian Library and my favourite corner of Oxford, the Radcliffe Camera and All Souls College.

"The Radcliffe Camera (Camera, meaning "room" in Latin; colloquially, "Rad Cam") is a building of Oxford University, England, designed by James Gibbs in neo-classical style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is sited to the south of the Old Bodleian, north of St. Mary's Church, and between Brasenose College to the west and All Souls College to the east." Wikipedia
