Soory to hear that your camera died on you :-(
It obviously gave loyal service right to the end as this shot is lovely. That mellow Oxford stone goes so well with our mellow English sunshine - they compliment each other surprisingly well don't they!

@Ian Bramham: Very well, indeed :)!

Ian, many thanks for feeling with me, it was a very faithful companion for more than four years now, a well abused instrument in prime condition ;-)

@markus:LOL....!!! The like i give you is from my husband's photography site, not mine, let's say i'm only doing the promotion! :-)

Thanks for your nice words! He is an amateur photographer, but i really think this is unfair, he doesn't deserve this title and i don't consider him as an amateur. He's a web developer.

@Evi: Aha, you are most welcome, I'm happy you have enjoyed my previous response!

Aren't we all professional photographers, aren't we? :)

We just don't get paid for our efforts...., anyway, superb photos on your husbands site just a bit fiddly to leave comments ;-)

Awesome building shot! I like the position of the coat of arms.

What a beautiful building Markus and such a fab shot - sorry to hear that your camera has gone to OLYMPUS heaven

Jullie hebben zulke mooie schoolgebouwen, ik ben jaloers want ik werk in een modern gebouw. Oud geeft zoveel meer sfeer! De mensen links onder geven de plaat een levendig accent.

@Erik: Hartelijk Dank Eric, Ik ben blij dat je gevallen daaraan vindt. Ik ben de link gevolgd, werkelijk interessant.
