Happy Fence Friday, All Radcliffe Square, Oxford. Parts of Radcliffe Camera and Brasenose College.

Happy Fence Friday, All This is a building in Oxford's High Street. The High Street is known locally as 'the High'. This could be part of All Souls College.....possibly :-)

Happy Fence Friday, All Radcliffe Camera, Oxford.

Happy Fence Friday, All. I'm a bit late uploading to Happy Fence Friday. Have been in the process of changing my Internet Provider. All is now sorted and looks like I shall now be able to work much quicker :-))) This shot was taken in Oxford University Parks. In the very far distance, you can just see a very small part of the River Cherwell. The River Cherwell has burst its banks with all the rainfall we have had lately. You would normally have been able to walk amongst the trees and sit on the seat that is in the distance. But, that is now very difficult unless you have a pair of waders to wear!!

Happy Fence Friday, All Merton College in Oxford.

Happy Fence Friday, All This is part of the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. It was the first major commission for Christopher Wren. It is not a Theatre in the true sense of the word. No plays or theatrical performances are held here. It is more used for University Ceremonies and University concerts. There are occasions when you can visit inside and I have done this on a few occasions. But, so far, I don't think I have captured the beauty of the interior. I will undoubtedly try again this year :-)

Happy Fence Friday, All The Radcliffe Camera was designed by James Gibbs and built 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. The Radcliffe Camera is not open to the public. The library's construction and maintenance was funded from the estate of John Radcliffe, a physician who left £40,000 upon his death in 1714. Construction only began in 1737, although the intervening period saw a complicated purchase of the site. The exterior was complete in 1747 and the interior finished by 1748. The library officially opened on 13 April 1749. Today the Radcliffe Camera is used as the main Reading Room for the Bodleian Library. From Latin 'Camera' means 'Room'. Therefore, for 'Sight and Sound' my slightly obscure link is to "In My Room" by Linda Ronstadt. Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ In My Room - Linda Ronstadt

Happy Fence Friday, All. Was having a bit of difficulty finding a recent 'fence' photo. So worked on this one taken almost a year ago. This was flooded fields near Thame in Oxfordshire. Not too far from home as in about 10 miles away :-) With all the rain we have been having lately I imagine this area will be even more flooded. If the sun shines I think I may well visit again for some more 'fence' photos. And for ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Five Feet & Rising - Johnny Cash

Happy Fence Friday, All I wasn't able to help this silly sheep :-) But, eventually, it removed its head from the poppy tribute. The poppy tribute and the silhouetted figure were a very small part of the 'Standing with Giants' Tribute at Stowe Landscape Gardens. And, I may have used the following musical link before but for the 'Sight & Sound' Group I have chosen "The Lamb Ran Away with The Crown" by Judee Sill.

Happy Fence Friday, All Rainbow Bridge over the River Cherwell in Oxford. The Bridge was formally known as the High Bridge. It is a curved footbridge over the River Cherwell in the University Parks, Oxford, England. The bridge is made of concrete in the shape of a rainbow, hence the name. The bridge was constructed in 1923–1924, through a project for the unemployed. The bridge was financed by the University of Oxford, colleges at the University, and individual subscribers.

Happy Fence Friday, All Lymington, Hampshire. Lymington is a port town on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. One of the boats here is called 'Obsession' and, apparently, "Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac is a song about Obsession. So, I have also included this in 'Sight and Sound'. And, it helps that "Silver Springs" is one of my favourite songs anyway :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac

Happy Fence Friday. All Beach Huts in Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire

Happy Fence Friday, All Hertford College, Oxford Looks like it must have been quite a warm day back on the 9 September :-)

Happy Fence Friday, All Autumn in Stowe Landscape Gardens

Wishing Everyone a Happy & Peaceful New Year.

Happy Fence Friday. All Magdalen College, Oxford.

Happy Fence Friday, All. I hope this upload is okay. I think there is a bit of an odd looking fence behind telephone box. And, I feel sure there is a bit of a fence behind the 'Cafe' sign :-))
