"Full Circle"

If this is an original ceiling in the Examination Schools in Oxford it dates from 1882. On this basis the lights are some 130 years more recent :-) The lights are circular and there are circles in the ceiling. So, that makes it easy for me to link my photo to "Full Circle" by Gene Clark from his 1973 album "Roadmaster" :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Full Circle ~ Gene Clark Also, until just t'other day, I didn't know that Dan Fogelberg recorded Gene's song :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Full Circle ~ Dan Fogelberg Funny how the circle turns around First your up and then your down again Though the circle takes what it may give Each time around it makes you live again Funny how the circle is a wheel And it can steal someone who is a friend Funny how the circle takes your flight And if it's it right it brings it back again Funny how the circle turns around You think your lost and then you're found again Though you always look for what you know Each time around it's something new again

Gentleman of Leisure

I think the gentleman with the dog could be a 'gentleman of leisure'. Jesse Winchester released an album entitled "Gentleman of Leisure" in 1999. I have chosen "No Pride At All" from the album basically 'cos that is the only track from the album that I could find on YouTube :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ No Pride At All ~ Jesse Winchester
