Snow - old photos

So, I realised that I haven't cleaned out one of my cameras for like 9 months...

In January the UK was hit by some epic snow:


These are some photos that I took whilst we were attempting to get to work one day...





These photos are from when I went in to Oxford a couple of days later and the snow had melted somewhat:

This was actually way cooler in real life - the water dripping out of the pipe was all thick and slushy and made the icicles look like they were moving!


The Radcliffe Camera with pub doorway in the foreground.

Pretty old house with ubiquitous Oxford bicycles.

Bookshelves are cool!

I was sitting around once and flicking through a House and Garden magazine, not something that I am often wont to do as I know that I will never be able to afford anything in them, but I fell in love. I saw something I had never considered before, a bookshelf which was not only a place for books but also a piece of art in and of itself.



This was years ago now, but I have never forgotten. It occurred to me that what with the wonders of the internet that I could maybe find more interesting bookshelves.. Here are the results...
