These days the weather is crazy,…
These days the weather is crazy, one moment is sunny and hot, the next is raining, the next again is windy and chilly, then sunny again. Few minutes into drawing the backside of the Sheldonian theater, a couple of raindrops (while sunny) made me move and run for cover and start again from another perspective. I like the stone heads on top of each pillar (there are more that the ones visible here, 13 in total). I was told they depict roman emperors, but it is not really sure. They are not the original ones from the 1669: They were ruined after two centuries of bad weather and got replaced with copies made by an even weaker stone type, that lasted a shorter time. These are the third generation ones, placed on the pillars in the 70s.
