Here's some leftovers from Oxford!
Many picturesque buildings are scattered throughout Oxford. Here are some that I thought were photogenic.
Many fine sculptures adorn buildings.
As a college town, bikes are a popular and inexpensive way for students to travel. Parking regulations take that into account.
Walking is another popular mode of transportation, with paths and gardens galore.
The town includes a copy of Venice's Bridge of Sighs, though this one connects Hertford College's buildings, not the governor's palace and the prison.
The town has a popular covered market since the English weather is not always conducive to outdoor markets.
In case you've ever wondered about the name of the town, it is named after the fact that the river is easy to cross here, i.e. a "ford for oxen." Check out the town's symbol.
