Castle Mound, Oxford
Image: © Peter Trimming Taken: 10 Dec 2009
Oxford castle was built in 1071. St.George's Tower and the Mound are about the only visible remains. The Mound is open to the public, and a small fee is charged (£1.00 in 2009). Whoever "planted" two trees, near the top of the Mound, was no gardener; otherwise the number would have been one, or three. Very confusing for a photographer, but too good a day to waste this scene.
