Old Fire Station, Oxford

Old Fire Station, Oxford
The Old Fire Station in George Street, Oxford is home to a flexible theatre, dance studios, a gallery, shop and cafe. The building is also used by the charity, Crisis.

For 'Sight and Sound' I decided to look for a 'Fire' link. There seems to be quite a few songs with 'Fire' in the title. Eventually, I settled for "I'm On Fire" by Bruce Springsteen.

What a cool/(hot) photo, Roger. I love how you got the young lady in mid-step and what a neat old building too.

Oh, look at Bruce back in his prime. I saw him in concert twice. The first time was a smaller venue and it was so good. He's a great performer. A fun pairing of Sight and Sound! :)

Thanks so very much, Karen :-) I did think my photo needed a bit of human interest and I did wait until there were a few people in my shot before pressing the shutter. But, until you pointed it out, I hadn't noticed the young lady and that she was in mid-step :-) I took several shots here and I have just looked at them again. Very surprisingly this young lady is in two other shots. She must have been walking very slowly methinks :-))

That was surely fantastic to see Bruce in Concert when he was in his prime :-) I think I can understand some of the complimentary YouTube comments from the ladies e.g. “I'm on fire after seeing you Bruce!” :-)

I don't by any means have all Bruce's records but there are a fair few in my music collection. I must fish out some of them :-)

Oh, I can imagine how she must have been walking verrry slowwwwly. :D

I did notice those YouTube comments too. I do appreciate his talent but he's really not my type. :)) I did enjoy the first concert though. The second one I was so far away that I fell asleep in the balcony lol. I think I have 3 of his early albums.

Thanks very much, Jaap. Sorry you missed this on your visit. It is a little bit tucked away. I have walked by many times but until 23 July I hadn't really tried to take many pictures here. I think it helped that the light on the 23rd was really good and I decided NOT to rush by the scene :-)
