On New College Lane, looking towards...some building that is south-ish of New College. It might be the University Church of St. Mary...but I can't tell.
This is the one of the entrances to New College (the one on New College Lane). There is another entrance on Holywell (pronounced Holly-well) Street, which is much more imposing, but I happened to be close to this one. It's very quiet back here, to the extent that you can really almost forget you're in a city. The very occasional car does come down the lane, but it's quite rare - mostly just bikes and pedestrians. It's far enough from the main streets of the city center that the whir of bicycle wheels sounds almost noisy.
And this is just a fortuitous good shot of Christ Church College, or at least one of its buildings. I walk past Christ Church almost every day, and it's always pretty, but the light this evening was just spectacular.
