So do we start a new Open View for the photos? Or do we continue in the discussion thread?

Thanks, Brian; as long as no one asks me the way to 'Harry Potter College'! (It has happened ...)
The Turner view is still there - fewer dons in academic regalia and lots more buses, though with a bit of luck and patience you can capture the essence of the view without too much of the modern distractions. Oxford also has connections to photohistory, including William Henry Fox Talbot - the first photo in The Pencil of Light is 'Part of Queen's College' (see https://talbot.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/search/image/view/?image_id=3ff1a795-0ae3-4291-9c77-5a555583a5ca) and is on The High - and Henry Taunt, who created a huge archive of photographs from his commercial work. He died one hundred years ago in November. I like this from the Wikipedia page on him:
A lesson to us all - make sure you keep backups! |

Just a couple of days to go and the weather forecast is almost too good to be true. I think I might struggle taking photographs without it being freezing, blowing a gale and, of course, raining. I did hope @Howard_S, our local resident of Oxford would take the lead in guiding us but this really is above and beyond
![]() Whenever I am visiting somewhere new in the UK I often dip in to my archive of JMW Turner's sketches and paintings (not originals ![]() ![]() It isn't too late to join us on Wednesday, or even Tuesday evening for a social get-together. You would be very welcome. |

Dewdrop Inn, a Summertown landmark, has been booked (for 7:30pm)!

I'm content to let you decide, Howard.

The Turf Tavern seems to have a problem with its booking system; if I can't resolve this we can go to the Dewdrop Inn in Summertown, which has vegetarian options.

I need vegetarian but almost everywhere satisfies that requirement now. I checked the Turf Tavern and that would be fine and I'd prefer the more informal atmosphere of a pub.
Does aanyone waant a Minolta 7000i? My eyesight caan't cope with viewfinders now, I'll bring it along if someone can offer it a home, otherwise I'll drop it into aa charity shop. |

To get a WhatsApp group going I need to know everyone's mobile phone numbers, so yes please do send me a PM and I can set that up.
As an alternative thought for the meal on Tuesday night, we could consider going to the Turf Tavern in the centre of the city; a famous city pub, also featured in numerous episodes of Morse. It's classic pub fare again and usually some good beers. It's very popular and can get crowded, but if we book now we can secure a table. It would mean taking a bus in from Summertown (most of us may have concessionary passes?) and for Brian it is not much further away than Summertown, on foot. Are Phil and Bob staying in Oxford and able to join us? |
