Peak Oxford…. Crowds gathering for May morning.

[Conall Mac Niocaill @conall_macn]

The bell ringers afterwards were in peak form!

[Conall Mac Niocaill @conall_macn]

Slightly surreal and spellbinding at the same time. I had the privilege of seeing in May morning from the top of Magdalen tower. A once in a lifetime experience!
