Guy constructs a shark into his roof. Becomes tourist attraction
Random find in Oxford, it's not historic but it's fun to go and look at, not sure I would want that sticking out of my roof
Shark !
Front of Headington School in Headington, Oxford, UK. This image is a stitching of three separate photos, using Autostitch. I did 'auto white balance' in the Gimp. Also, in one of the three photos there were tree branches in front of the 'tower' above the entrance. I removed some of them before stitching.
