The Queen's College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford, England. The college was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainault (wife of King Edward III of England). It is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. This fisheye shot was taken from the centre of Oxford High Street; normally this would be a suicidal spot for photography. But, on Good Friday, it's deserted and traffic-free!
