The Tower of the Five Orders The Bodleian Library occupies a group of five buildings near Broad Street in Oxford, England, and a large number of off-site storage areas. One of the more unique buildings is the Radcliffe Camera. Next door to it is the Schools Quadrangle. Its tower forms the main entrance to the Bodelian Library and is known as the Tower of the Five Orders. The Tower is so named because it is ornamented, in ascending order, with the columns of each of the five orders of classical architecture: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian andComposite. The Tower is just another great example of the wonderful architecture to be found in Oxford.
A Little Piece of Heaven I've come to appreciate the soft breeze, relaxing sound of the surf and a nice deck to kick back and rest, like this large deck with the two blue chairs.
Inside Canterbury Cathedral Traveling in England, we spent a half day in Canterbury. The small shops and restaurants lining the small streets have a distinct European flare. You could spend a day just window shopping and trying the local treats and sweets. But the main event not to be missed was Canterbury Cathedral. Like most of our stops, it was way too short. I could have spent half a day just soaking in the atmosphere and tremendous size of this church.
