Possibly my favourite:

That expression of strain is because of the saint's weight:

Some views. I really like the ones looking along high street toward Magdalen Bridge:

Turns out you can't actually see Dr J's office roof from here, because of the curve of the road and a tree being in the way:

You're looking at All Souls College in the foreground, as far as the tree through which you can see a bus. Hidden are some shop buildings, and two houses which have been bought up by The Queen's College. It is in one of these that Dr J had his office abode. The next big building is Queen's, with the quadrangle at the front and big arched friezes visible.
