I took a lot of photos in 2023, but this is by some distance the one most likely to be an oil painting. #PembrokeCollege, Oxford, outside the lodge, late evening, late September. If you don’t understand why the bike makes it, you don’t know #Oxford.

Heading off to England to give two talks at #Oxford, one at #PembrokeCollege, one at the #Bodleian--and then to Montenegro in search for #Glagolitic! The Bodleian event is open to the public: https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/sep23/endangered-alphabets
