'Tis still "bloomin'' hot here :-))

I am not too sure about this scene :-) This is definitely Oxford and this is somewhere near the end of the Oxford canal :-) But, there are no boats here and I am not even sure if a boat could get this far, anyway :-)
Perhaps its a stream fed by the canal :-) Will have to investigate further on my next visit :-)

Radcliffe Square, Oxford.

From Wikipedia -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Square

"Radcliffe Square is surrounded by historic Oxford University and college buildings. The square is cobbled, laid to grass surrounded by railings in the centre, and is pedestrianised except for access.
The square is named after John Radcliffe, a student of the university who became doctor to the King, made a large fortune, and left a significant legacy to the University and his college (University College), which is nearby in the High Street to the south.
The centrepiece of the square is the circular and imposing Radcliffe Camera, a library (originally for science) paid for by John Radcliffe's legacy, built 1737–48. This is part of the Bodleian Library, the main building of which is situated immediately to the north of the square. The two are connected by a tunnel and there are many books stored under the square (with space for around 600,000 volumes). These books may be requested by readers. There used to be a small underground railway to transport books between the Radcliffe Camera and the main Bodleian site. To the west is Brasenose College, one of Oxford's older colleges. To the east is All Souls College."

A couple of years ago I bought a 10-20mm wide angle lens and I think I only used it once :-) I decided to give it another try :-)
It's very difficult to include all of Radcliffe Square with any kind of standard lens so I tried the wide angle lens set at the 10.0 mm point :-)

Maybe, view at full screen, please :-)

The Grounds of New College, Oxford.

From Wikipedia -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_College,_Oxford

"Despite its name, New College is one of the oldest of the Oxford colleges; it was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, as "Saint Mary College of Winchester in Oxenford", with both graduates and undergraduates. It became known as "New College" because there was already a college dedicated to St Mary in Oxford (Oriel College)".

They {whoever "they" are :-)} say you should always try and have a bit of red in a photo so here is a little bit of a red car :-)

There were two 'County Council' buildings in Aylesbury. I live in Aylesbury. This is one of them. The original building on the opposite side of the road dates from the 1920's I think :-) I started my working life in the old building and then got moved to the new building here. First worked on the second floor and then they moved me to the 6th floor before I was lucky enough to be granted Early Retirement. This building is affectionately known as "Pooleys Palace" or "Pooley's Folly" :-))
Fred Pooley was the Architect :-)

Note: The old building is now being converted into Flats :-)

From Wikipedia -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Hall,_Aylesbury

"County Hall is a high-rise tower block in Walton Street in Aylesbury, in the county of Buckinghamshire in England. It was built to house the former Buckinghamshire County Council. Following local government reorganisation in 2020 the building is now owned by Buckinghamshire Council. County Hall continues to be used as offices by the new council".
