I figure that finding another road where you've never been and singing that two-wheeled symphony allows me to link my motorcycle photo to “Gypsy Rider” by Gene Clark and Carla Olsen :-) "Crank her over once again Put your face into the wind Find another road where you're never been. Sing that two-wheeled melody The highway symphony You know she'll never understand." This track comes from the 1986 album “So Rebellious a Lover"........another of my all-time faves :-) Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here ~ Gypsy Rider ~ Gene Clark & Carla Olsen

"Oxford Open Doors 2014" As I said previously last weekend was "Open Doors 2014" in Oxford and I 'wos' goin' around a bit like a headless chicken 'cos I didn't know where to visit next :-) I have checked and double-checked and I am sure I am certain this is Oriel College Dining Hall :-)) I don't know who the guy is in the frame. I also don't have any information on the heraldic...religious...stained glass and, so far, I haven't been able to extract any information by searching the Internet :-( I was pleased how my little 'ole Coolpix handled the light here :-) Possibly better to view on black :-)

"Oxford Open Doors 2014" Extract from the Oxford Mail - “From colleges and museums to stadiums and theatres, Oxford opened its doors to the public at the weekend as part of the city’s annual celebration of its heritage. Oxford Open Doors allowed people to poke their noses behind walls and through doors that remain bolted shut for the rest of the year. The event, organised by Oxford Preservation Trust, saw a wide range of buildings opened up to the public, including Oxford colleges, university research departments, theatres, sporting venues and a former college barge moored on the Thames near Donnington Bridge. A total of 130 venues took part.” I 'wos' goin' around a bit like a headless chicken 'cos I didn't know where to visit next :-) Anyway, never having been able to take any photos in Oriel College (apart from the odd shot taken through the entrance) I decided this was an essential college to visit :-) From Wikipedia - “Oriel College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Located in Oriel Square, the college has the distinction of being the oldest royal foundation in Oxford (a title formerly claimed by University College, whose claim of being founded by King Alfred is no longer promoted). The main site of the College incorporates four medieval halls: Bedel Hall, St Mary Hall, St Martin Hall and Tackley's Inn, the last being the earliest property acquired by the college and the oldest standing medieval hall in Oxford.”
