These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on May 20, 2023, during a holiday in Oxford, Great Britain, with my friend Magnus.
The first photo captures us on a charming street near Oxford University, where a beautiful Laburnum tree, also known as the "Golden Chain Tree," stands in the background. Its vibrant yellow flowers create a cascade of color, making the scene even more picturesque. Laburnum trees are admired for their beauty but are also known for their toxicity, which adds a bit of intrigue to this stunning backdrop.
The next photo features a historic house at Merton College, adorned with a lovely yellow rose bush climbing up its ancient walls. Merton College, one of Oxford’s oldest and most prestigious institutions, has a rich history dating back to 1264. The college’s medieval architecture and serene gardens are simply breathtaking, making it a perfect subject for photography.
In the third photo, flowers are blooming on the walls of Merton College, adding a touch of natural beauty to the historic setting. The peaceful atmosphere of the college's gardens and the stunning medieval buildings make Merton a true gem in Oxford.
Another snapshot from our trip shows beautiful houses on St. Aldates, a bustling street in Oxford’s city center. St. Aldates Street, named after an early English saint, is rich in history and charm, lined with a mix of historic buildings and modern establishments. It’s a place where the past and present blend seamlessly, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Finally, the last photo is a close-up of St. Aldates Tavern, a classic British pub known for its cozy atmosphere, real ales, and delicious pub fare. Located on St. Aldates Street, the tavern is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offering a quintessential Oxford pub experience.
These photos bring back wonderful memories of exploring Oxford, a city steeped in history, beauty, and academic excellence. Whether it's the golden Laburnum tree or the historic charm of Merton College and St. Aldates, each image tells a story of a place where the past comes alive.
