Sunset

This is from yesterday, a pretty sunset over the Thames just after my first race in Christ Church Regatta. Yesterday  started as the coldest time since I've been here, just above freezing, but warmed up to be a pretty nice day. Today was warmer to start but reached a similar high temperature.

Cowley Road church

This rather pretty church is located off of Cowley Road. It's another warm and relatively pleasant day today, nice for a stroll.

It's much nicer today, though it's only a bit warmer. This is a view from a computer lab high above Oxford, long to the north northwest toward Port Meadow.

Some cows grazing on Christchurch Meadow on a warm and lovely day. It also happens to be the first time I've seen the sun in over a week.

Ugly

It's long past dark here, but this was the view five hours ago. It's looked more or less like this with varying amounts of drizzle for the past two days.

Pretty morning

A beautiful morning with a typical extended sunrise. One of these is a slot of the dreaming spires just before dawn, and the other is of cows in Christchurch Meadow with the colleges behind, taken a few hours later.
