This is Christ Church College in Oxford. From Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Church,_Oxford ) "Founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, it is one of the larger colleges of the University of Oxford. Christ Church has a number of architecturally significant buildings including Tom Tower (designed by Sir Christopher Wren), Tom Quad (the largest quadrangle in Oxford) and the Great Dining Hall which was also the seat of the parliament assembled by King Charles I during the English Civil War. The buildings have inspired replicas throughout the world in addition to being featured in films such as Harry Potter and The Golden Compass. This has helped Christ Church become the most popular Oxford college for tourists with almost half a million visitors annually". Now, for 'Sight and Sound' I have a wayward link that will take a little bit of explaining :-) "White Rabbit" was written by Grace Slick in either late 1965 or early 1966. It has been used several times in our Group. I know I have used this classic at least once and it is now time for me to use the song again :-) According to Wikipedia, the song uses imagery found in the fantasy works of Lewis Carroll. 1865's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass. Imagery such as changing size after taking pills or drinking an unknown liquid. Lewis Carroll attended Christ Church College and this completes my 'Sight and Sound' logic :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ White Rabbit ~ Jefferson Airplane

A bottle sculpture in the grounds of Waddesdon Manor. Plus an aeroplane! So very sad to read that Marty Balin, who co-founded Jefferson Airplane, has passed away. Rest in Peace, Marty. Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Volunteers ~ Jefferson Airplane

Explored! Thank you very much :-) HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY, ALL Canons Ashby House is the ancestral home of the Dryden family. The house has remained almost unchanged since the 18th Century. I also wanted to add my photo to 'Sight and Sound' but had almost given up trying to find a suitable link. But, then I found out that Spencer Dryden was drummer for Jefferson Airplane. If Spencer Dryden was related to the Dryden family that would mean I could choose "Plastic Fantastic Lover" by Jefferson Airplane :-)) One of my fave tracks from "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" from 1969.

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Looking at the guy in blue jeans and the lady with blonde hair it is clear to me they both have "Somebody To Love". Which brings me to Jefferson Airplane. Until I saw Mick's wonderful tribute I didn't know that Paul Kantner had died. It has indeed been a dreadful start to the year. We have lost some true music icons. Rest in Peace, Paul.

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Around the time that Karen uploaded a link to “White Rabbit” I was wondering around Oxford and came across this pub. I immediately knew I had to link my shot to the all-time classic “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane :-) I thought to myself that I must have previously been walking around with my eyes closed but, I have now discovered the pub was originally called 'The Gloucester Arms' and has recently been refurbished with the name change :-) I'm not ever so keen on Pizza but I understand they do the best Pizza for miles around. So, if I take the bus to Oxford I may go inside for a Pizza and a small beverage :-) Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here ~ White Rabbit ~ Jefferson Airplane p.s. Only another 27 'Soundtrack to Life' posts for me to comment upon :-)))
