Part of that great seat of learning that is Oxford University.

A solid edifice! While I'm an avid reader, I suspect the contents of this library would be mostly over my head.

Apparently two statues are missing. Never trust librarians!

@Gary, I too am an avid reader and agree with your sentiment.
@Gianluca, Probably removed as Student pranks!

My wife worked there. Ended up being a lexicographer - dictionary writer - for them. We got a behind-the-scenes tour while on a return visit. Wonderful place!

Powerful straight-on shot, Milan.

Thank you Rob.
I grew up in Oxford so sometimes it is nice to go back and see things from a different perspective.

Even Carnegie built better libraries back in the day than they do today.

That is a rather find shot of the Bodlean, Milan. I haven’t been there for years and certainly never seen it looking so calm. Nice.

Thanks Pete,

When you get there early and grab a shot between downpours! It helps that the area was gated and I managed to pass the lens between the bars of the gate.
