Okay, but what if I told you that leaves don't really "turn" orange and yellow in the autumn? What if I told you that they're always that colour, but chlorophyll just makes them look green?

Magnificent @magdalenoxford.bsky.social - the New Building (1733)

Honey-coloured stone building of three storeys with a colonnade along the ground floor and a pediment above the central part. The two ends are faced in a yellower stone; they were left unfinished until 1824, the plan having been to create a massive quad stretching to the end of the mediaeval core of the college (and to demolish the north side of the cloisters on the near end of this lawn). Happily, that plan was abandoned.

In the colonnade of the New Building @magdalenoxford.bsky.social

View of the interior of the colonnade with honey-coloured columns to the right, darker stone on the inside, neo-classical vaulted bring with quite simple plasterwork

Similar view but with a massive intrusion of the wisteria that climbs up the façade of the building

View from one of the arches of the colonnade to the north side of the mediaeval Clousters (although the north range was demolished and rebuilt in the 1820s - long story) with the huge college plane tree (planted in 1801 from a slip of the original 1666 tree) and the Great Tower

View of Cloisters and Great Tower from the colonnade, no plane tree

Is there anything better than a morning walk on Addison's?
