#ThrowbackThursday
Our brickwork has been looking particularly radiant in this weekβs late afternoon sun βοΈπ§±
For #NationalLoveYourPetDay, we asked our students to share their photos of our Warden's dog, Rievaulx, and they did not disappoint π
Thank you to Sarah, Phoebe and Melinda for capturing these lovely photos πΈ
The crocuses have started to pop up around our gardens and grounds. In the language of flowers, or floriography, the crocus symbolises cheerfulness and we couldnβt agree more! They also provide a source of nectar and pollen to emerging bees after the cold winter π
Happy International Zebra Day from your favourite βholy zebra styleβ college! What was intended as an architectural insult in 1870 is something we wouldn't want any other way π¦
Beautiful photo, thank you!
The foreground is snow with a number of footprint tracks crossing it. In the middle ground a row of snow covered trees and in the background a large red brick and stone building with small turrets surrounding the roof line. The sky is pale cloud with some watery winter sunlight on the left hand side.
For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #cold, here's Keble College Oxford, seen from University Parks after heavy snowfall.

If youβve visited us this summer, you'll have seen we've been restoring some of our stained glass windows, but this isnβt the first time the chapel has needed a bit of TLC! These older photos were taken in 1962 and 1975, showing repairs being done to the roof and the outer wall π§±
