Happy Fence Friday, All
Radcliffe Square, Oxford.
From Wikipedia -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Square
"Radcliffe Square is surrounded by historic Oxford University and college buildings. The square is cobbled, laid to grass surrounded by railings in the centre, and is pedestrianised except for access.
The square is named after John Radcliffe, a student of the university who became doctor to the King, made a large fortune, and left a significant legacy to the University and his college (University College), which is nearby in the High Street to the south.
The centrepiece of the square is the circular and imposing Radcliffe Camera, a library (originally for science) paid for by John Radcliffe's legacy, built 1737–48. This is part of the Bodleian Library, the main building of which is situated immediately to the north of the square. The two are connected by a tunnel and there are many books stored under the square (with space for around 600,000 volumes). These books may be requested by readers. There used to be a small underground railway to transport books between the Radcliffe Camera and the main Bodleian site. To the west is Brasenose College, one of Oxford's older colleges. To the east is All Souls College."
A couple of years ago I bought a 10-20mm wide angle lens and I think I only used it once :-) I decided to give it another try :-)
It's very difficult to include all of Radcliffe Square with any kind of standard lens so I tried the wide angle lens set at the 10.0 mm point :-)
Maybe, view at full screen, please :-)
