Roger Bennion's photos

I could say that I immediately thought of "Stormy Waters" by The Hollies to go with my photo. But, that would be a fib :-) I only came across this musical gem when I searched YouTube using "Stormy Waters" :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Stormy Waters ~ The Hollies

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed This is a window in the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford given the GIMP Software treatment with a dash of Nik Software :-) A bit of a tenuous link but there are some circles and parts of circles here so I think I can get away with a link to "The Circle Game" by Tom Rush. This was, of course, written by Joni Mitchell :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Circle Game ~ Tom Rush p.s. maybe view on black :-)

Clearly, the guy in red doesn't want to hurry love :-) And, for me, this immediately leads to "You Can't Hurry Love" by Foxes and Fossils :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ You Can't Hurry Love ~ Foxes and Fossils

An olde Oxford shot to link to the all-time classic....."Teach Your Children". I am working on the basis that the guy leading the pack is the Father and he his teaching his "Children" to try and keep in step and all look in the same direction :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound My fave version ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Teach Your Children ~ Kathy Mattea & Suzy Bogguss Not forgetting the brilliant CSN&Y original ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Teach Your Children ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

T'other day I came across this shot from a while ago and thought that 'Me and My Shadow' could be a logical link for 'Sight and Sound' :-) So, I have decided upon two versions :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Me And My Shadow ~ Julie London Or ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Me And My Shadow ~ The Mills Brothers

This lady had sure got lots of 'Rhythm' which, of course, leads to "Get Rhythm" by Johnny Cash :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Get Rhythm ~ Johnny Cash

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I know this is not Winchester Cathedral but I do know that Crosby, Stills & Nash recorded "Cathedral".....a song about Winchester Cathedral that was, apparently, about Graham's LSD experience in Winchester Cathedral. My shot could be of Gloucester Cathedral or Hereford Cathedral but, then again :-) Anyway, 'Cathedral' is the link here and I'll be quiet now :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Cathedral ~ Crosby, Stills & Nash This is Gloucester Cathedral ~ Thank you, Rachel :-)

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I've fished out this old Guernsey shot so that I can link it to "Just The Rain" by Maura Kennedy :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Just The Rain ~ Maura Kennedy

The lady from BBC Three Counties Radio was about to be transported up Kop Hill in one of the Ecurie Ecosse racing cars.....a D-Type Jaguar (thank you for identifying the car, Larry) driven by Dick Skipworth....pretty quickly as I remember!! I'm sure that behind the smile she was thinking "Hell No (I'm Not Alright)" :-))) This naturally leads to "Hell No (I'm Not Alright)" by Nanci Griffith :-) I think I may be falling in love with the lady singing harmony and playing the red and white guitar :-) Trouble is I have now discovered that her name is Maura Kennedy and Maura is married to Pete, the guy next to her :-( Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Hell No (I'm Not Alright) ~ Nanci Griffith

I did this Triptych a very long time ago but figured I could now link it to "The Three Of Us" by Louis Armstrong :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Three Of Us ~ Louis Armstrong

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Back to last year and another shot taken at Willen Lake where the organisation - “Newfound Friends - Newfoundland Dogs working for Children's Charities” was giving a rescue demonstration. Clearly the Doggy was stopping the dinghy from drifting away. So, my tenuous link is "Drift Away" by Dobie Gray :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Drift Away ~ Dobie Gray

To me the clear choice here is "The Power Lines" by Nanci Griffith. One of my faves. But, then again, everything Nanci sings is my fave :-) This track is from Nanci's 1991 album "Late Night Grande Hotel". Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Power Lines ~ Nanci Griffith

Until Larry told me I had no idea that we have lost Guy Clark who passed away on 17 May 2016. Another desperately sad loss to music in a year of never ending losses. I am sure there are some Desperados that have been waiting for this train and I have chosen "Desperados Waiting For A Train". This song features on "Old No. 1" Guy's highly influential 1975 debut album. Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Desperados Waiting For A Train ~ Guy Clark Rest in Peace, Guy.

This is a Wind-Catcher. I previously used a shot of part of this structure. For an explanation of its purpose please see following ~ www.ipernity.com/doc/292367/41450056 I am linking my shot to "Hear The Wind" by Gene Clark. 25 years ago (May 24, 1991) we, tragically, lost Gene. He was only 46 years old. Gene was buried at Saint Andrews Cemetery in his birthplace of Tipton. His headstone is simply inscribed "Harold Eugene Clark – No Other". Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Hear The Wind ~ Gene Clark There is currently a Petition to Induct Gene Clark into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. "During Gene's time with The Byrds he penned many of their most beloved and influential works including “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” “Set You Free This Time” “Here Without You” “She Don’t Care About Time” and was the main composer of “Eight Miles High” considered by many to be among the greatest singles of the 1960s." Rest in Peace, Gene.

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) A variation on a previous upload so I could post this to 'Sight and Sound' :-) "The Shard" by the 'Four Femmes on the Thames' seems an appropriate link to me :-) I apologise if anyone is offended by the ending to the video :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Shard ~ The Four Femmes on the Thames

I'm not sure if that could be a willow tree in the background. If it is I could use "Wind In The Willows" by Blackmore's Night 'cos there was a bit of breeze blowin'. If not, I am sunk :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Wind In The Willows ~ Blackmore's Night

Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed This was the Oxford University Biochemistry Building before I got let loose on it :-) Not exactly sure 'wot' I did but that's 'par for the course' :-) Anyway, could have involved the Perspective filter in GIMP :-) I feel sure "True Colours" by both Cyndi Lauper and Phil Collins has been used in our Group. I have, therefore, gone for the version by Celtic Woman. ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ True Colours ~ Celtic Woman

I didn't know that George Harrison recorded a track entitled "Cloud Nine". And, I didn't know this track features on his album "Cloud Nine". But, I know now :-)) I have found a link to the whole album but, fortunately, "Cloud Nine" is the first track :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Cloud Nine ~ George Harrison
