Oxford from the skies – lucky birds!

For my love’s 40th, we took to the skies over Oxford, with a little help from a big red balloon (and thanks to his parents! – a brilliant double birthday gift).  The views where breath-taking, and I found it a profoundly moving experience – we didn’t want to come down.  And of course, I took my camera.

The wind was just right and carried us straight over the very heart of Oxford, dangling us above the High Street, Radcliffe Camera, All Souls, new Islamic studies centre on Marston Road, and up, up and away over 20 miles to the North East of Oxford.

I particularly loved the views of autumn trees from above, and seeing the way herds of sheep huddle and move through their fields, leaving clear paths from daily use.  Fantastic patterns.

Below are a couple of my favourites – hope you enjoy them.  To see a full gallery, head here to my website.

Thanks Peter and Diana, for sending us on an incredible adventure!

With love, from a very happy photographer.
