Around Oxford: Magdalen College and City Centre

Hey all! Some more pics from around Oxford:


 
 Sheldonian Theatre and the Bodlein library. The library, nicknamed the "Bod", holds at least one copy of every book published in the United Kingdom. Yeah, thats a lot of books. Basically, the entire city is built on top of the subterranean bookstacks or the wine cellar. Since each college makes their own wine, they need a lot of room...

 Another main street. 

 Trinity College- I walk past it every day on the way to the library. Beautiful.

 The Thames River, coming all the way from London. Its a bit smaller here than it is there(:

 Outside of Christ Church, my college. 

 A view of Magdalen College, home to C.S. Lewis.

 More Magdalen. 

The Magdalen Courtyard. The British love to keep their lawns gorgeous. How do they do this? They never let anyone walk on them(: You can get expelled for it. Whew.
