Prettying up the city

You would think that a city that is full of buildings like this



Oxford 1

and this




Not to mention bridges like this


Oxford Bridge

wouldn't need any extra embellishment, but that is where you would be wrong.

Wandering around Oxford last weekend I came across this!

Yarn bombing 2 Oxford

It is safe to say that this square in Oxford had been well and truly yarnstormed.

And very pretty it looked too!

  7. The yarn bombing is fantastic!!

    I used to live down the road from Oxford in a little village near Banbury and we'd often go into town on a Saturday. There are some amazing buildings - but there's an equal share of vile, 60's monstrosities that can spoil many a photo opportunity!! I always wondered how they managed to film Morse and Lewis and leave the viewer with the impression that the whole city is beautiful!!
