Steps of Weston Library in Oxford

When I was in Oxford I was thinking of coming up with a 'books' link for 'Sight and Sound'.

"I am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel includes the lines -
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me

When I saw the guy sitting on the steps of the Weston Library I thought "that's the photo I need". And, just as I pressed the shutter this lady rode by :-) The guy got up and walked away before I could take another shot!

I'm afraid we'll just have to stick with this photo :-)

What library?! :D

(Such a shame, at least she didn't totally obscure your subject. :))

This is one of my very favorite S&G songs, Roger. They had so many good ones but this one really gets me every time.

The library is in the background shade, Karen. That's the honest truth, Judge :-))

I guess I should have waited just that few seconds longer before pressing the shutter :-))

It is a classic S&G song for sure!

Lol. Oh, there it is! ;))

All joking aside, this is a great action shot. I really like it and she looks so free on her bike. :)

Yes the steps Ah !! good place to check the phone. I took a much closer look at the bike as I had one of those stolen, one of those female or male frames but not this one.
I do like Simon & Garfunkel, great performers.
