Nice post, but you really need to add a blue sky filter - looks kinda' weird with that background, it's like there is no sun

Thanks for the inspiration for going down this rabbit hole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Sighs_(Oxford)

Anytime! Check out the wiki for All Souls College for another rabbit-hole adventure. One takes “the world’s hardest exam” to get in.

good show, old chap

YES! As a history nerd I fucking love seeing the old texts and would kill to be able to read and do archival work

OH MAN. Good for you, man. Especially the medieval manuscripts. Work with any illuminated ones? I went to an exhibit once and I drooled.
medievalmusic
I do, quite often, work with illuminated/rubricated MSS—will be sharing some soon! :)

*Magdalen. Magdalene College is in Cambridge. Both are lovely, but in different ways.

Literally. It's where they actually filmed the movies.

#3 people are still walking around in cloaks? Talk about old school
floralandfoliage
That was also my first thought.
medievalmusic
So we wear gowns at formal events, exams, formal dining hall, and in chapel choir, so quite a few times a week!
fartbender
That’s fancy as hell, man!! I bet as a freshman that feels really cool. Harry Potter cosplay must be so easy!
Acmer77
Do they make the 'whoosh' -noises too?
medievalmusic
They actually do a bit! XD
psyberkat
From what I understand gowns at Oxford and Cambridge are only for formal ceremonies and exams
messagemeimaguy
These are academic robes /regalia; they are to be worn to formal dinners as well.

Cloaks need to be a thing again.
periwinklepanda
And capes (fashion capes, not superhero capes though those would be awesome too!)
ArrowSwyfte
There's a person on Etsy who makes nice cloaks. USA based but will ship elsewhere. Just search "Versatile Fantasy Cape" to get to the page.
