Hi all, I hope you had a wonderful week. First
congrats to Belita on the header. Personally I think this is one of
the best photographs I have ever seen. Well done!!
Thanks Benni for a great theme and one of my
favourite areas of photography, so much so that it took me ages to
weed out the shots I was not going to post!! In the end I found four
and I took the liberty of adding a bonus shot simply because it was
some of the most unusual architecture I had seen.
Hope you enjoy my choices, have a great weekend!!
La Rochelle Harbour Entrance
La Rochelle was founded during the 10th
century and became an important harbour in the 12th
century
Bridge Of Sighs
Hertford bridge, popularly known as the Bridge Of
Sighs, is a skyway joining two parts of Hertford College, over New
College Lane in Oxford England. It's distinctive design makes it a
city landmark.
The Bodleian Library
The Bodleian Library is the main research library of
the University Of Oxford. It is one of the oldest libraries in
Europe, and in Britain is only second in size to the British Library,
with over 11 million items.
The Shard Next To Southwark Cathedral
The contrast between the tallest building in the
European Union and Southwark Cathedral, on the south bank of the

ReplyDeleteSerene and beautiful first shot
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful sight

I have decide Blogger is so much of a problem for me that this will be my last post over here. I very much enjoy the group put I do not have the time to have to completely repost a page 3 times! For those of you who do not have problems with it enjoy the group its been fun ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Baz, so very sorry you are having trouble with Blogger. Having to repost 3 times is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the theme, your pictures are wonderful. LaRochelle is beautifully captured by you reflected in the pastel morning light and clear reflecting water. Stunning bridge, I wonder why it is called the Bridge of Sighs. Fanciful romantic name. Wonderful interior of the Oxford library, majestic. Great contrast of old and new architecture in your next shot; I can't help but prefer the old even while admiring the new. I'm so glad you put in the last shot; it is indeed unique. The statues in the archways are marvelous and the bird flying off is a nice touch.
La Rochelle is very interesting, something I have never seen. I also have a photo of Southwark cathedral somewhere, but not with the shard. I saw the Bridge of Sighs many years all. All photos are very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having problems, Baz. Thanks for the finished product though. Fantastic shots, as always. That last one is my favorite!!!
ReplyDeletehi baz, cool pics. La rochelle is a place where I go regularly as my daughter lives not far from it. the bridge of sighs resembles the one of Venice even if a little different as there isn't any canal below
ReplyDeleteHi Baz !! I managed to fix the your post, although it obviously won't fix the continuing problems you're having with Blogger. I'll be sorry to see you go from the group, mate, as you were one of the founder members way back when. Excellent shots for the theme. Great shot of La Rochelle. Even if I didn't know where it was, I would have guessed it was in France, it has an indefinable French-ness to it. The Bridge Of Sighs and Bodleian Library are two wonderful examples of the fabulous architecture to be found in Oxford. I just love the old/new juxtaposition in the fourth shot!! The building in the final shot is quite unique.
ReplyDeleteHi Baz! Sorry to hear about your problems on here... Hope you change your mind soon and will not stop sharing your awesome shots with this wonderful group.
ReplyDeleteFive really beautiful shots, I just wish i can see them for myself one day..
Thanks for the congratulations!
