Trinity Week 5

---

Today we should have an interesting day . . . Yesterday had a lecture in one of tallest spires of Oxford and of course later climbed to the top. But this posting is all about pictures. My boat didn't row on to Summer Eights this week but chch (Christ Church) still has 4 boats . . . Saturday will determine it all -- blades of glory or blades of grass?

Notably, this week took two day trips, one to Cambridge, one to Hampton Court. In Cambridge, was in awe of the folios in Trinity College's library and the chapel at King's College. Spend loads of time in the library, on buses reading, or typing away at the untypable paper. Service and working on Sunday; tute & library, then hall dinner Monday; Cambridge & hall dinner Tuesday; Hampton Court & then Worcester evensong on Wednesday; lecture, libraries, bible study, summer eights, & focus group on Thursday - where does the time go? It goes away, untouchable. But memory - which someone (Hume maybe) said was a less poignant, less real impression remains. Prodded along by photos.

Not pictures, which we discovered are painted in England but not snapped.

Grasshopper Clock, Cambridge
Brief History of Time . . .

Typical Cambridge Day
Modern & Ancient

Trinity Quad, Cambridge
Where the famous racing the clock event noted in *Chariots of Fire* actually occurred - and was won by a different person!

King's College, Cambridge
Dear King Henry, the eighth of that name . . . Newton's apple tree, or one descendent (several times replanted) from his orchards, is out of sight to the right.

King's College Chapel
Very large

Ceiling fan - with organ off to the side
The screen by the organ divided this huge church and was again a Henry VIII addition.

Hampton Court
Once it belonged to Cardinal Wolsey . . .

It was an opulent place
And then the camera died . . .

Previously, a picture of Oxford
Lots of people, bikes, buses, and narrow streets.
