Oxford, England - 7 August 020; no people in shot. This is Catte Street, at the heart of historic Oxford, leading to Radcliffe Square Centre-stage is taken by the round Radcliffe Camera; this distinctive cylinder-shaped building of Oxford University, England, was designed by James Gibbs in neoclassical style and built in 1737-1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is now part of the world-famous Bodleian Library. All Souls College is on the left, and other library buildings to the right. Normally, early on a fine summer morning, the area would be packed with tourists and locals. But not now, during the pandemic. As always, the strange perspective of a circular fish-eye lens adds its own eerie character to the scene.
