    That is one wacky building! :-D

    The brick work is enchanting! I love the ‘harlekwins’ in the facade and the busy zig-zags below the eaves. Is the building in the background the museum? Keble is part of Oxford, correct? Is the building in the foreground an administrative building or does it house classrooms?

    Dang, Wordless Wednesday gets me again. You post some of the best pictures, Chris. There’s always so much more than meets the eye.

    Happy WW!!

    It’s ages since I visited the dreaming spires. Some of the colleges really are beautiful.

    I love red brick buildings in the UK. They go so well with the light there. And this one has some intricate decor. Thank you for reminding me!

    Beautiful, so collegiate! Happy WW :D

    There are many wonderful patters in the brickwork that make this building a visual treat. I wish zigzags and stripes would work on me!

    I see you made it back to Oxford safe and sound. Happy WW.

    Oh, that picture made me long to go back. It’s been at least a decade since I was at Oxford (St. Anne’s College)

    Happy WW

    Great lookin’ building! The architecture around there is spectacular!

  • 18 CDV // Jan 9, 2008 at 7:44 pm

    Yep, Keble is one of the Oxford colleges. From a certain angle apparently is looks like a dinosaur (hence the song). I’ve never gotten that but I guess it has something to do with the brickwork.

    The University Museum, one of my favorite places in Oxford, is in the background.

    SSG, I’ve heard that Keble students say that about your mum.

  • 19 YellowRose // Jan 9, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    Absolutely beautiful brick work! The architecture is wonderful!!

    Happy WW, mine is up!!

    Like Harlekwin I really like the zig-zags on the building on the left. Beautiful work.

    Well, my eye was drawn to the sky, of course, since it qualifies as the right blue (if ya know what I mean). ;-)
