Oxford and Bath

Bath Row Houses

Bath's Royal Crescent

The Royal Crescent in Bath, one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the world. These homes date from the mid-18th century.

These spectacular hilltop houses form a semicircle and look out on a great lawn, and greater Bath beyond.

Dining Hall

Dining Hall

The dining hall at Balliol College, Oxford.

Let me tell you, this does not resemble any college dining hall I’ve visited. This is the hall for Balloil College at Oxford. I wanted to capture the long tables but also see the scale of the room.

Great Clouds in Oxford

The afternoons in Oxford gave us great cloud formations. Don’t recall it raining all that much—just these impending clouds that cast shadows on the sky.

Obviously, I jacked up a few things to pull out the detail in the sky, hopefully they remain compelling and not over the top.
