a day trip to oxford
honestly. i had no idea there was a market here today!
luscious fur coats at the market
steampunk original (science museum)
bridge of sighs (hertford bridge)
the famous turf tavern. an education in intoxication. good food too!
logic lane. love it.
radcliffe camera (camera meaning simply “room”)
built 1737-1749 with £40,000 bequeathed by Dr John Radcliffe, the royal physician.
in a house on this site between 1655 & 1668 lived robert boyle. here he discovered boyle’s law and made experiments with an air pump designed by his assistant robert hooke – inventor scientist and architect – who made a microscope and thereby first identified the living cell
believe
the history in oxford blew my mind today.
and i had some fun wrangling with a borrowed 10-22mm wide-angle lens!

Thank you so much for these views of Oxford! I am writing a novel, and part of it takes places there, so I am eager to learn as much as I can about it. I am dying to see it for myself!
