Roger Bennion's photos

A shot from a long time back :-)

One from last year! O is for... OWEN Photograph of the poet Wilfred Owen, who died in action on the Western Front in the First World War P is for ... PURCELL ‘Hail bright Cecilia’, the manuscript of Henry Purcell’s Ode for St Cecilia’s Day, 1692, celebrating the patron saint of music

I think the Biochemistry Building was completed in 2008. Anyway, it cost £49 million and I think it was money well spent for ‘us photographers’ :-) www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2008/081212_1.html This is an oldish shot that I have been playing around with in Photoshop to try and boost the colours and contrast a bit! This reminds me that I do really need to get back to taking more shots of the Biochemistry Building :-)

View across the Octagon Lake with the Palladian Bridge in the distance.

Two of my favourite trees :-)))

New Year's Day 2013 on Guernsey.

This is a view from The Temple of Concord & Victory. On this day, unusually, the Temple was open to visitors. And, that gave the opportunity to stand in the doorway and include more of the columns and the Valley beyond :-)

The Temple of Music is situated on an Island in the Lake. You can only get there by boat and I guess you would need to get permission from the Dashwood family :-)))

I don't remember us having that many sunny days so far this year! There I go again mentioning the weather :-) But, this was a glorious day. More like this, please :-)

The Temple of Music From Wikipedia - “The Temple of Music is on an island in the lake, inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Rome. It was designed for Dashwood's fêtes champêtres, with the temple used as a theatre; the remains of the stage survive.”

Taken at West Wycombe Garden Centre. Getting away from all the Flickr nonsense. Not sure whether or not I will continue with Flickr. So far this site is a delight and already seeing many wonderful and inspirational photos :-) Daisy is at the Owl Rescue Centre www.owlandpetrescue.co.uk/ based in the West Wycombe Garden Centre. For a minimum £1 donation you can hold ‘Daisy’.
