Stowe Landscape Gardens

Some kind peeps have been doing some pruning at Stowe Landscape Gardens that has opened up this view. This is known as both The Worthies River and The River Styx. As there are green reflections in the water I have decided upon "Green River" by Creedence Clearwater Revival :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Green River ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Or here ~ Green River ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival

The Artificial Ruins & The Cascade on the edge of the Eleven Acre Lake at Stowe Landscape Gardens. So, my 'Sight and Sound' link is "Cascade" by Chet Atkins :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Cascade ~ Chet Atkins

This is the Gothic Temple in Stowe Landscape Gardens that I am linking to "Almost Gothic" by Steely Dan. This is my tribute to Steely Dan's Walter Becker who we lost on 3 September 2017. Rest in Peace, Walter. Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Almost Gothic ~ Steely Dan

Explored! Thank you very much :-) I think the data shows that this photo was taken in the afternoon whereas I thought it was taken in the morning. But, no matter, for the purposes of 'Sight and Sound' we'll have to imagine it was taken in the morning :-) And, because there is some mistiness in the background this will then allow me to link my photo to "In A Misty Morning" by Gene Clark :-) One of my many all-time faves by Gene :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ In A Misty Morning ~ Gene Clark To quote one of the YouTube comments - "RIP Gene Clark, Never Forgotten"

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Somewhere along the line I have previously used "I'm Walking" by Fats Domino and now that Fats has passed away I'm thinking it's okay to use this track again. There are lots of peoples walking in my photo taken in Stowe Landscape Gardens so "I'm Walking" seems like a logical choice to moi :-) Thanks for all the wonderful music, Fats :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ I'm Walking ~ Fats Domino ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Or, listen here - I'm Walking ~ Fats Domino

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Some Autumn leaves here so I have chosen "Autumn Leaves" by the Everly Brothers for 'Sight and Sound' :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Autumn Leaves ~ Everly Brothers

Explored! Thank you very much :-) "Ripple" written by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia features on The Grateful Dead album "American Beauty" from 1970. One of my fave tracks on the album :-) Love the version here by 'Playing For Change' :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Ripple ~ Playing For Change

Explored! Thank you very much :-) If I can find a tenuous link, any tenuous link, to use with a Gene Clark track I will :-))) So, when Helen and I were in Stowe Landscape Gardens on 6 November I thought I would 'try so hard' not to take another photo of the Palladian Bridge and the Gothic Temple. But, temptation got the better of me and I can now link my photo to "Tried So Hard" written by Gene Clark. It features on the 1967 album "Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers". The lead guitar player on this track is the late, great Clarence White. Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Tried So Hard ~ Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers I would fully recommend the 2013 'Four Suns Productions' feature length documentary, 'The Byrd Who Flew Alone' exploring the life and work of Gene Clark. In my opinion it is absolutely the best ever music documentary.

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Time to get a bit carried away with ye olde 'soft focus' effect methinks :-) I am reminded of "Walking the Dog" written by Rufus Thomas and I have chosen the version by the Rolling Stones :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Walking the Dog ~ Rolling Stones

Happy Fence Friday, All :-) Also, I wanted to add this photo to 'Sight and Sound'. I almost gave up on trying to find songs about waterfalls when I came across "Waterfall" by Dwight Yoakam :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Waterfall ~ Dwight Yoakam

Explored! Thank you very much :-) There is at least one man walking here so I figure my 'Sight and Sound' link can be "Walking Man" by James Taylor :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Walking Man ~ James Taylor Please view on black :-)

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Back to Autumn. I had to look twice and, yes, there is a fence in the background :-) HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY, ALL :-) I am also adding this photo to: Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Remembrance (Autumn Song) ~ Ernesto Cortazar Please view on black.

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Another photo from the Archives :-) There are some peeps here at Stowe Landscape Gardens with their backs turned looking down the path. Of course this immediately makes me think of "Backs Turned Looking Down the Path" by Warren Zevon :-) This track is on the 1976 album simply titled "Warren Zevon".

Explored! Thank you very much :-) My ipernity activity has been very hit and miss of late. Unfortunately back on 28 March 2018, Helen (Mrs Bennion) had a very nasty accident falling backwards down some concrete steps. Helen very badly broke her elbow, cracked her pelvis and suffered multiple bruising! My time is now taken up looking after Helen. We saw the consultant today (10 April) and Helen has to return to hospital in a week's time and again at the end of this month. It is going to be a very long recovery process so my ip activity will continue to be hit and miss but I'm sure I will catch-up at some point :-) The only obscure musical link that seems to go with my photo is "And Dream of Sheep" by Kate Bush :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ And Dream of Sheep ~ Kate Bush

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Taken in Stowe Landscape Gardens. Added a little bit of soft focus :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Born To Run ~ Emmylou Harris OR ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Born To Run ~ Emmylou Harris

Explored! Thank you very much :-) Saturday Self-Challenge 9 June 2018 "Anything Red". When Helen & I went to Stowe last Sunday I spent a lot of time looking for 'anything red' :-) Found a red mailbox but didn't seem able to get the right framing. Then saw some red roses but think I should have got in a lot closer to the subject. Was kinda on point of giving up but as we headed towards the exit I saw something red in the distance. As we got closer I realised it was red sunglasses. I guess someone had dropped them and some kind person had lodged them on the top of a fence :-) When, later, I was looking at the Group I saw Karen's "Challenge is closed for the week. See you next Saturday" photo of red sunglasses and I thought to myself "This is a bit spooky and I hope that Karen doesn't think I stole her sunglasses" :-)) Added to ~ Saturday Self-Challenge I am also adding my photo to 'Sight and Sound' because, perhaps, the sunglasses I photographed are 'cheap' ones and ZZ Top recorded "Cheap Sunglasses" :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Cheap Sunglasses ~ ZZ Top

Explored! Thank you very much :-) HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY, ALL I was looking for a song to go with these farm buildings and the only, obscure, link I can find is "Where Corn Don't Grow" by Waylon Jennings :-).

This is Lord Cobham's Monument in Stowe Landscape Gardens. It rises to 104 feet (32 m) and was built 1747–1749. I'm sure it has been cleaned since our last visit! :-) The only 'Lord' musical link I could think of is "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ My Sweet Lord ~ George Harrison
