Closely observing the magic of Cornmarket Street, Oxford, England for a few minutes !

I took this one and a half minute video clip on 21 June 2010 when I visited Oxford again after a gap of 7 years. Cornmarket Street (often called just Cornmarket by Oxonians) is a major shopping street and pedestrian precinct in Oxford, England that leads north from Carfax Tower towards St Giles'.To the east is the small Golden Cross arcade of small jewellery and craft shops in a historic courtyard, leading to the Covered Market. To the west is the indoor Clarendon Shopping Centre that connects in an L-shape to Queen Street.Cornmarket was pedestrianised in 1999. This tranquil city, my favourite in the whole world alongwith Calicut in Kerala, India (where I am based these days) is where the oldest and the most famous university of the English speaking world is situated. Just to sit and watch life unfolding around you, anywhere in this beautiful city itself is an awesome experience. Hope you all enjoy this small clip!
