A fascinating 'work in progress' I've been following, is this...
The Radcliffe Camera is a famous, much photographed city landmark, this reproductions detail is amazing.Just wonder who it has been made for - a University Don surely!
This is the real thing...
It was built in the mid 18th century, funded by a huge bequest by a Dr John Radcliffe, physician to Queen Anne, to house the Radcliffe Science Library, primarily made up of his personal collection of scientific books.It's now part of the Bodleian Library's Reading Rooms.
Sadly, the Radcliffe Camera isn't ever open to the general public.
So, in thirty plus years of living here, have never peeked in side it.
Why Camera?
The word camera translates from Latin as 'room' or 'chamber'
It's known locally as Radders or the Rad Cam!
Two fer is Jonna's meme, where anything does, as long as it's in two's or pairs!

AMAZING cakes - Mom doesn't bake - but she used to own a big catering operation iin Hotlanta - and she worked with some wonderful bakers and cake makers - her company did a lot of weddings [mom never messed with them she HATES mothers of the bride] - but they often hired people all the way from New York City to make cakes for people. Oh the stories she could tell!!!!
That is so clever!
