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.

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 :-)

Happy Fence Friday :-)

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) This is similar to an older upload. In this shot I have included the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in the background. Taken from inside the Divinity School. Possibly better on black :-)

Norbert (Tacheles) has suggested I add this shot to 'Soundtrack to Life' and link it to "Adagio" by John Weider from the album "Intervals in Sunlight" www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbfmRZxFkto&feature=youtu.be That is a most perfect idea. Thanks very much indeed, Norbert :-) Now added to 'Soundtrack to Life' www.ipernity.com/group/362993 'Radcliffe Camera' can be seen through the window :-) Please view in Light Box :-)

The brightly lit building is Brasenose College. On the left is the old entrance to the Radcliffe Camera. And, red is this year's colour I reckon :-)
