The highlight a very cold, wet day wandering Oxford, with very sore feet, had to have been these two shots. These came into view--with the falling light absolutely perfect--as I wandered what looked like a barren alley. This is the Magdalen (pronounced "maud-lin") bridge over the River Cherwell, just before it empties into the Thames River. It runs through Magdalen College, where Oscar Wilde studied. Here's the shot I saw first. I especially like the "highlight" where the sun shines through a tree onto the rightmost arch, as well as the nearly invisible batch of darkly colored "punts" in the foreground. I like the complexity of the picture: the more you look, the more there is. (Look how a slighting different vantage point can change everything about the picture.)
