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 :-))

Also, this is a bridge in Oxford University Parks and I have added it to 'Sight and Sound'. It's a bit of a tenuous link but I felt sure 'Seven Bridges Road' was an Eagles song but on YouTube the version I found appeared to have been taken down, presumably on copyright grounds.
I have, therefore, chosen a version by Ricochet :-)

The Palladian Bridge in Stowe Landscape Gardens.
And, as there are some ripples on the water I have also added this photo to the 'Sight & Sound' Group.

Autumn in Stowe Landscape Gardens
Maybe a slightly tenuous link for 'Sight and Sound' follows. On the Internet I found a list of Autumn songs that included "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young. It said "Songs don't have to have Autumn in the title to evoke the season. Harvest moons have a long association with the Fall (Autumn)"
This is my logic for including Neil's song :-)

There is a small part of a fence in the bottom right hand corner. Honest :-)))

I am going to have to check things out but, I think this is part of New College School (officially known as St Mary's College School) in Saville Road, Oxford. In this case it is a private preparatory school for boys. And, therefore, founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham.
If I am wrong I will have to amend this description at a later date :-))

A candid shot taken in Oxford.
For 'Sight & Sound' it seems logical to me to link this to "Sweet, Sweet Smile" by The Carpenters :-)

This is the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford.
There is a plaque on the wall that says -
In this building Howard Florey, Ernst Chain, Norman Heatley and colleagues first isolated and purified PENICILLIN for the treatment of bacterial infection.
(1938-1941).

Oxford University Parks

This space, originally owned by Merton College, was purchased by the University in the 1850s and first laid out as a Park for sports and recreational purposes in 1864.
The park is open to the public almost every day of the year until dusk (the only exception being Christmas Eve) and boasts a choice of walks, a large collection of trees and plants and space for informal games and picnics.
For those that enjoy sport there’s the opportunity, depending on the season, to catch a game of cricket, lacrosse, tennis, football or rugby. Harry Potter fans may even encounter a game of Quidditch in play.
The River Cherwell borders the north east side of the park with a small plot of land (Mesopotamia) sitting between the upper and lower levels of the river. Norham Gardens is to the north, Parks Road to the west and with the Science Area on South Parks Road to the south.

On the left is part Hertford College. Over to the right is part of the Bridge of Sighs that links the two parts of Hertford College.
This shot is similar to one I uploaded in June. There is a bigger shadow here and this allows me to use a more obscure musical link for 'Sight & Sound' methinks. And, that is "Wonderful Land" by The Shadows :-)
