Happy Fence Friday, All

Happy Fence Friday, All Bridge of Sighs/Hertford College, Oxford. Link below is an extract from Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Sighs,_Oxford "Hertford Bridge, often called the Bridge of Sighs, is a skyway joining two parts of Hertford College over New College Lane in Oxford, England. Its distinctive design makes it a city landmark. The bridge is often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs because of its supposed similarity to the better known Bridge of Sighs in Venice. There is a false legend saying that many decades ago, a survey of the health of students was taken, and as Hertford College's students were the heaviest, the college closed off the bridge to force them to take the stairs, giving them extra exercise. However, if the bridge is not used, the students actually climb fewer stairs than if they do use the bridge.The building on the southern side of the bridge houses the college's administrative offices, whereas the northern building is mostly student accommodation. The bridge is always open to members of the college, who can often be seen crossing it." I know there is a song called "Bridge of Sighs" but for Sight and Sound I have decided upon a link to The Bridge" by Elton John :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ The Bridge - Elton John

Happy Fence Friday, All Hertford College, Oxford Looks like it must have been quite a warm day back on the 9 September :-)

Happy Fence Friday, All On the left is part Hertford College. Over to the right is part of the Bridge of Sighs that links the two parts of Hertford College. This shot is similar to one I uploaded in June. There is a bigger shadow here and this allows me to use a more obscure musical link for 'Sight & Sound' methinks. And, that is "Wonderful Land" by The Shadows :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Wonderful Land - The Shadows
