Oxford is a lovely city. Filled with Gothic towers and noble schools. I went to Oxford on a Sunday afternoon to take photos because I wanted to visit the colleges in the late sunlight, which in July means around 7 PM. I forgot that all the colleges close to visitors at 5 or 6. So I ended up with few photos or anything. C’est la vie. It was still fun to walk around the city. To Blackwell’s miles of books, traditional ales at The Turf Tavern and of course the great only-appearing-in-the-evening Donner Kebab Vans! They even serve Veggy burgers!

London! What can I say… I lived there once, would love to live there again if I could afford it—and find a job! When I lived there I took a lot of photos, alas that was before the digital photo revolution (at least before my personal digital photo revolution.) I did visit once before on a business trip and took a few photos [confusion.cc]. This time once again I was on a business trip. Staying in Stains I only had occasion to visit central London on one day. I took a long walk from Waterloo Station cross the Themes to Parliament Square, up to Trafalgar, down the Strand and Fleet Street. To St. Paul’s and across the Millenium Bridge to the Tate Modern. Along Thames walk past London Bridge. To Tower Bridge, across Tower Bridge beside the Tower. Past the Monument and back to St. Paul’s. Along the Victoria Embankment back to the foot of Big Ben , across the Thames again, past the London Eye and back to Waterloo. And with my feet hurting and both camera batteries dead back aboard the train to Stains.

The Photos are not great but they are what they are. You can see the rest of the London, United Kingdom, July 2007 photoset on Flickr [flickr.com]. Enjoy.
