Happy Fence Friday, All. I have re-worked this very, very, very old photo :-)) It is the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford and there really is a fence surrounding the grass :-)) The photo was taken from near the top of the University Church. On the left is part of Brasenose College. And, also on the left towards the background is part of the Bodleian Library and the top of the Sheldonian Theatre. I have also decided upon a very obscure link for Sight & Sound. In the context of the The Radcliffe Camera, 'Camera' means "Reading Room". But for the purposes of 'Sight and Sound' a 'Camera' is for taking photographs. I have, therefore, chosen "Take A Picture of This" by Don Henley :-)) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here - Take A Picture of This by Don Henley

Happy Fence Friday, All The Radcliffe Camera photographed from within the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Happy Fence Friday, All Part of Radcliffe Camera and in the background, part of All Souls College, Oxford. The Radcliffe Camera ("The Camera" from the Latin, camera, meaning 'room') It was designed by James Gibbs in a Baroque style and built in 1737-1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. 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. From 'Oxford History' - All Souls College was founded jointly by Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury, and King Henry VI. It was built between 1437/8 and 1443, and was the ninth Oxford college. Originally its Fellows were obliged to take Holy Orders and to engage in further studies after spending three years in the University. They were also expected to pray for the souls of the faithful departed and those killed in the French wars – hence its name. I don't know much, if anything, about Joe Dolan. But he recorded "Lady in Blue" so I have decided to use this for 'Sight and Sound' :-) Quite a strident (forceful) recording methinks :-)) Also added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here - Lady in Blue by Joe Dolan

Happy Fence Friday, All Radcliffe Camera, Oxford University. From Wikipedia - "The Radcliffe Camera (colloquially known as the "Rad Cam" or "The Camera"; from Latin camera, meaning 'room') is a building of the University of Oxford, England, designed by James Gibbs in a Baroque style and built in 1737–49 to house the Radcliffe Science Library." The Radclffe Camera also serves as a reading room for the Bodleian Library. I figure the lady is on the way to use the reading room so I have also added this to 'Sight and Sound' and chosen "Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot :-) Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot

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 Working/Studying at the Radcliffe Camera.

Explored! Thank you very much :-) This was taken from within the University Church in Oxford looking out towards the Radcliffe Camera. A slightly obscure link for 'Sight and Sound' that comes to mind is "She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune" by The Dillards :-) This track is on their "Wheatstraw Suite" album from 1968. Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune ~ The Dillards

Explored! Thank you very much :-) HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY, ALL :-) I am also adding this photo to: Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music Another one of my obscure 'Library' links......the building on the left is the Radcliffe Camera that is part of the Bodleian Library. Libraries have books and "Paperback Writer" comes to mind :-) I decided upon a version by Herb Pedersen from his 1976 album "Southwest" rather than the classic original by The Beatles :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Paperback Writer ~ Herb Pedersen

10 & 11 September 2016 was "Open Doors" weekend in Oxford when you could visit places not normally open to the public. Whenever I visited Oxford, Brasenose College was always closed to visitors and the only photos I managed to take were looking thru' the entrance. However, on 11 September the College was open as part of "Open Doors". I knew no-one would stop me 'breaking on through to the other side' of the entrance to take this photo of the Quadrangle with the Radcliffe Camera in the background :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Break On Through (To The Other Side) ~ The Doors

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I like the clouds in my shot of the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. So, a link to "Clouds" by Newton Faulkner seems like a good idea to moi :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Clouds ~ Newton Faulkner Maybe view on black :-)

I guess the obvious choice here is "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" by Elvis :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear ~ Elvis Presley

I suppose this could also be 'Happy Bicycle Wheel' Friday 'cos, clearly, I was very taken with the bicycle wheel here :-)

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Happy Fence Friday :-)
