These were taken in December 2014 0n my wife's birthday when I took her out for afternoon tea at some posh restaurant, we had a walk around and went up Carfax tower to see Oxford from on high. They were taken with a compact camera
The green spire I think is near the castle
This is looking up the high street towards the University church of St Mary which is the tall spire. You were looking towards me in the photos I showed a few weeks ago
This is straight down the tower which is all that remains of the old church that stood here, just beside that roof below is a few headstones that remain of the churchyard
That area is Carfax where George street, Cormarket Street, High Street and St Aldates meet
This looks across the top of Cornmarket street towards Exeter collage
Back up the High Street
Turning a little and the town hall is on the right
Zoomed in on the Ratcliffe Camera Left and Lincoln Collage library , St Mary's spire is just left of it
Could well be Merton Collage chapel
Towards Tom Tower and St Aldates church
That is the top of Carfax tower
And that is where I had been.
The clock chimes on the hour and ever tourist and their dog stand gawking at it while the two men hammer the bell
Happy SkyWatch
Great views of the city. It looks lovely.
