The Radcliffe Camera was designed by James Gibbs in the English Palladian style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. The building is the earliest example in England of a circular library. It is built in three main stages externally and two stories internally, the upper one containing a gallery.

The enchantingly beautiful Radcliffe Camera library - Oxford, England

Autumn sunshine in Oxford, England.

A few shots from Oxford to upload before I get back to uploading shots from the various London trips I've made this year.

If you have any shots of the Radcliffe Camera maybe you could join the group I started and add them : www.flickr.com/groups/radcliffecamera/ My Website : Twtter : Facebook #MyOxfordView
