A day in the life of the old lonely lamppost. I see a possible movie!

Thank you Sam, this is brilliant I love those clouds. I couldn’t wait to see another Oxford photo (I don’t mean that I didn’t enjoy the other ones though). Where is this alley way anyway?

Again, I know this alleyway. Great to catch it in this strange light - sunshine against dark clouds.

These are the shots I always find hardest to take; darks areas with bright skies. You continue to surprise me with the ability to ignore the difficulties I would face and create create great scenes.

Hey Sam. These past few photos you have taken, what's with the color of them? It looks awesome but yet not full color. Is it sepia? What ever it is, it is great photos. As always, still love your work. Take care Sam.

This is simply beautiful. Has a very "old world" feel to it.

Super shot! I must say it reminds me of a really bad but funny racist joke (British/French) which showed up in my mail in the past year.

The one thing that bugs me is the problem with virticals not showing all at once. I must shift screen resolution to see if it helps, but it hasn't on other images.

It makes me think of the Ankh-Morpork University (of Discworld fame) where student wizards will climb over the wall any moment now!

Same's next photo-scene will probably be some inside shot of an oldish library with "L-space dimensions"! :-)

this is a beautiful image but bamboozling. I see dark ominous clouds that would lead me to expect very flat lighting yet there is a very prominent sun/shade thing going on in the tree and the wall. Is this a blended image Sam?

this photo reminds me moshiri's poem about koooche!!

About half way up, or down, in the sky and close to the right hand side; I see a dark spot that puzzles me. It can't be dust or similar flaw, Sam just would not post it that way. On the other hand, if it were a bird or a helicopter the title would be "Bird Over Oxford", or simply "The Helicopter". So, What is it, Sam?

I believe this is an alley that runs behind St Peter's College, looks like it at least. It's great to see all the brilliant photos of Oxford, I hope you have many more to show, if not you must come back!
