Explored! Thank you very much :-) HFF everyone :-) This is a fence outside the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. It is a place of 'Natural Harmony' so I think I can link this to "Natural Harmony" by The Byrds :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Natural Harmony ~ The Byrds

"Eight Miles High"

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) “Eight Miles High” was banned in the States shortly after its release following allegations there were perceived drug connotations in the lyrics. But, as Chris Hillman says it was more about The Byrd's flight to London in August 1965 :-) Obviously two of the guys here are Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen. I'm 99% sure the guy playing the red guitar is John Jorgenson. Now to the slightly tenuous link for 'Soundtrack to Life'. It might look like sensor dirt but there is an aeroplane in the top corner of my shot that is flying very high leaving engine exhaust contrails. Unless it is a spacecraft :-) Apparently, commercial airliners fly at an altitude of six to seven miles and I believe the song was entitled “Eight Miles High” 'cos that sounded more poetic :-) Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here ~ Eight Miles High ~ Acoustic Desert Rose Band
