| We went to Oxford last week and took a few photos while walking around. Some good historic buildings. The Bridge Of Sighs:  The ceiling of the Bodleian Library:  A closer look:  Keble College  I think this is one of the towers of All Souls College:  |

| All good photos, Mart but I particularly like the Bodleian ceiling, it's beautiful. |

| It is isn't it .... but my favourite was the Bridge of Sighs.
You're a dab hand at taking a good photo aren't you Mart. |

| Funnily enough, I took those using a phone. I think they are better exposed than if I'd used my camera. |

| It was my wife's Samsung Galaxy J5 Malcolm. Used because I forgot to take the camera with me. :) |

| Good photos Mart. I'm always amazed at the detail and effort that is put into these kind of buildings.

| Perhaps there wouldn't be the skills around these days that could construct/decorate a ceiling the way this one has been done? |

| I ought to rectify an error. The ceiling shown isn't that of The Bodleian Library. It is the ceiling of The Divinity School. There, I feel much better now. :) |

| Love old buildings, they don't build such lovely places anymore,the buildings today have no character.
Like looking at your photos Mart |
