Image: © Roger Davies Taken: 19 Mar 2008
The view is looking east across the rooves of several Oxford colleges adjoining the High Street. The picture was taken from the top of the tower of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin (with a gargoyle on the extreme right). In the foreground on the left is All Souls College with University College in the middle of the picture on the far side of the High Street. The prominent tower at the far end of the High Street is Magdalen College. The waters of the river Cherwell are glinting in the spring sunshine on the far right.
