Upon Arrival

Oxford, England

.. at Oxford rail station you will step outside and see this!

I like this 'Ox' sculpture - it marks the fact that the city was named after a river crossing for Oxen!

Later the same day:

FujiFilm FinePix E900 Zoom
1/30s f/5.6 at 28.8mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

So that's how towns get their names! Great colors, and I see how you chose the stagger of the sign poles. When do you leave for Oz?

Shows the 'overkill' we have on road signs in the Uk!!
Walked past that many times and often thought of grabbing a shot but never have....
