Extract from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester_College,_Oxford ~ "Worcester College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. The college was founded in 1714 by the benefaction of Sir Thomas Cookes, 2nd Baronet (1648–1701) of Norgrove, Worcestershire, whose coat of arms was adopted by the college. Its predecessor, Gloucester College, had been an institution of learning on the same site since the late 13th century until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. Founded as a men's college, Worcester has been coeducational since 1979". In recent times it has been rare to be able to visit Worcester College but, thankfully, the College was open to the public on 15 September as part of the 'Oxford Open Doors' celebration. Took lots of photos and quite a few of them were of Worcester College :-)

Hopefully, I did correctly read that it's okay to add photos to 'World Photography Day' until the end of August as long as the photo was taken on 19th :-) On 19th it was quite dull and overcast and I thought I would wait until the sun made an appearance before heading out. It wasn't looking promising so late in the afternoon I walked into town hoping the light would be okay. I was struggling to find a subject and realised the, so called, 'Blue Leanie' building was undergoing alteration/renovation and I thought I ought to be able to find a photo opportunity here. I'm sure there are better photo opportunities here once the alterations/renovation are complete and I will be trying more shots when all is complete and the sun shines :-))) Part of the complex does lean at an acute angle hence the 'Blue Leanie' title but clearly not this section that I photographed:-)
