Explored! Thank you very much :-) HFF, everyone :-) Now to go off at a bit of a tenuous tangent in choosing a 'Sight and Sound' link :-) I found a list of the 100 Greatest (Classic) R&B/Soul Songs. My photo is of All Souls College in Oxford. "Heatwave" by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas is listed at number 16 so this is my choice :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Heatwave ~ Martha Reeves & the Vandellas And, we mustn't forget the version by Linda Ronstadt :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Heatwave ~ Linda Ronstadt

This is All Souls College in Oxford and although it wasn't photographed at night it reminds me of "All Soul's Night" by Loreena McKennit :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ All Soul's Night ~ Loreena McKennit

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Extracts from the College website - “All Souls College was planned, built, and endowed in the 1430s by Henry Chichele, long-serving Archbishop of Canterbury. It received its foundation charter in 1438 from King Henry VI, co-opted by the Archbishop as the College's co-founder. Henry Chichele was in his seventies at the time, and this, his third Oxford benefaction, situated right at the University's heart, was the fruit of careful reflection about what was needed in a new college. The Codrington Library started to be built on 21 June 1716, to a plan by Nicholas Hawksmoor, but the fitting out was not completed until 1751. The Library has some 185,000 volumes, about a third of which were printed before 1800.”

Happy Fence Friday :-)

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) All Souls College, Oxford Extract from Wikipedia - “All Souls College, Oxford is a constituent college of the University of Oxford. Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become Fellows (i.e., full members of the College's governing body). It has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduates of Oxford and graduates of other universities now registered as postgraduate students at Oxford are eligible to apply for Examination Fellowships through a competitive examination (once described as "the hardest exam in the world") and, for the several shortlisted after the examinations, an interview. All Souls is one of the wealthiest colleges in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £272m (2013). However, since the College's principal source of revenue is its endowment, it only ranks nineteenth among Oxford colleges with respect to total income." Mick has pointed me in the direction of Billy Joel :-) So, here comes - All About Soul ~ Billy Joel Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life
