Re: Punting in Oxford

I saw this last night on my ipad and was in two minds. Now looking at it large I like it. The oars add that extra something

Great spot, Richard, I like that very much. And without the oars it would be just too abstract, but they perfectly add a subtle bit of context.

Thanks Alex. Alan mentioned the oars as well. If truth be told, I was just lucky - they were in the punts, but I was a bit surprised, because I thought you moved a punt using a pole - I thought that was the whole point. But who am I to know? I went to the LSE where nobody did anything so bourgeois as punt - in fact I thought it was the name of the old Irish currency before the Euro!

Richard, you are right, and that hadn't struck me - so in fact the oars do add a context, but the wrong one!
I wonder if these punts are for general hire, and so the inexperienced punter needs a means of getting back to the punting pole when it is lodged in the river bed and the punt is floating off downriver...

Lol! Yes, wrong context to discombobulate and especially designed for the newbie!!!

Re: Punting in Oxford

Nicely seen Richard; were you there for the May Day celebrations? Think you are right about the oars being a safety measure!

No. We just went there because I am showing Evi loads of new places since she is still new to England!
