Australia "the movie" Hits Oxford
Great advert for both the STA Travel Agent and for the movie Australia. It was a little funny that the signature theme was sung and written by Elton John. I saw it this afternoon, and enjoyed it. Good scenery, liked the scenes from in the Broome open air cinema, Sun Pictures and the music was good, you can't beat Elton.

Pigeons In Bonn Square
Two pigeons enjoying the winter sun in Bonn Square this morning. The Square looks very good now that it has been updated, but I am not sure why the large tree had to be removed? Let hope that that lady who feeds these pigeons with bags of bread crumbs stops feeding them, we have far to many in Oxford.

Ship Street Oxford
Ship Street in one of those streets right in the centre of town that no matter how busy the rest of the city centre is Ship Street always is dead quiet. Like today, at the end of the street is Cornmarket which is heaving with after Christmas sale shoppers and not a soul in Ship Street. A couple of nice Cafe's in Ship Street if you need to get away from the crowds of Oxford.

Run With A View
These couple of joggers had the whole of South Park to themselves early this morning, it may have been because it was a little crisp this morning but the views over Oxford are always great from up the top of South Park what ever the temperature.

Christmas Lights
Like being out in the evening around Christmas to see all the lights in the gardens and on houses. People go to a lot of effort to plan and put these lights up, and it really makes Christmas a special time of year. This is a very modern looking Christmas Tree on the Banbury Road in Summertown.

Merry Christmas From Me And Coke
This is the current advert on one of the two billboards in South Parade click here to see what the other is displaying at anytime. I always keep an eye out for the Coke Christmas adverts, they are normally very typical this one has a few of London's landmarks in the background.
It is going to get very busy for me over the next few days, so I hope I can keep posting the photo's each day, if I don't sorry. Merry Christmas to all my visitors and I hope 2009 is better than 2008 was.

Low Flying Aircraft For RAF Brize Norton
Being so close to the RAF's largest base RAF Brize Norton, Oxford sees it fair share of military aircraft over head. This morning I heard this one long before I spotted it as it was so low I had to wait till it was just over head. Not sure what type it is, but I am sure it was heading for Brize Norton.

Following on from my photo the other day of the Radcliffe from Walton Street today I was on the Woodstock Road and managed to get a photo of the works from this angle. You can see the scales that weigh the lorries as they leave with all the debris from the old Hospital.

Westgate Shopping Centre Christmas Tree
Was in the Westgate centre today and I know that they have had there Christmas Tree up for a little while but I have not taken a photo of it. It looks good during the day however in the evening when it starts to get a little dark it looks even better with all the light in the mall.

Down a very quiet lane in the middle of Jericho off Walton Street is the old Graveyard St Sepulchre's. When you walk in the graveyard you will find it surrounded by very modern apartments that have been built on the old Lucy Work's site which is a little strange next to an 1848 cemetery. The Vice Chancellor of Oxford University Benjamin Jowett was buried in the cemetery in 1893. If you are in the area I would wonder in and have a quick look around, worth a look.

I Sat On The Roof And Kicked Off The Moss
That is a line from on of my favourite artists, and I think these are what he is talking about. The moss that grows all over the place in the UK, like these on a wall at the JR Hospital in Headington. Found myself up at the A&E department early this morning and while waiting for the sun to rise decided to take a few shots of all the moss on the wall.

Welsh National Opera In Oxford
Boy they carry a lot of stuff. I saw a couple of these lorry's in Oxford today and this one while walking past the New Theatre in Oxford was at the Stage Door being loaded up after one of the Opera Companies performance in Oxford. This is a large operation by the number of trucks they have not an Opera fun but I am sure Oxford enjoyed the performance this evening.

Christmas Tree At Oxford University Press
I took the camera out today, but when I was about to take this photo I found out that I did not have my memory card with me....
So this photo was taken on my new iPhone, not the best device to take the Oxford Daily Photo with, but with no other choice it had to do.
This is the Christmas Tree in the court yard of OUP in Walton Street, my first Christmas Tree of any note that I have seen this year, looks good.

Oxford United Makes The Front Page
The sacking of Oxford United's Manager last night has made the front pages of the Oxford Mail this morning. Unfortunately Oxford United are having a bad run and when that happens people start to look at the management of the team, but from what the papers are staying most people backed Patterson as Manager, but looks like the board did not.
