It's nearly Halloween and one person in the village has started putting on on the display for the 31st.
This blog is to showcase some of the photo's I've taken, the pictures can be from my archive of many years or taken recently. They are from where I live and the various places I have been. I hope Enjoy my work and come back to visit again
It's nearly Halloween and one person in the village has started putting on on the display for the 31st.
This week the Church Explorer visits St Peter's Church Wilcote the first of three churches that I missed out while visiting other churches nearby. This one I almost drove past and missed thinking it was on a private estate
The Nuffield Orthopedic Hospital is part of the Oxford Group of Hospitals which are all in Headington and not a great distance from each other. I took my son there for a scan so while he was there I took a walk around to get some photos. I'm useing the blog for SkyWatch Friday as well
As you come in the main entrance this is the first building you see
The main entrance to the hospital
With other parts going back up towards the entrance road
And where you will see this sculpture which is a display of sunflowers
They must have looked stunning when first erected
This I read was where the engineered artificial limbs
Hemophiliac ward, its an older building to the rest of the place
Walking around the place I came across this horse sculpture
After the horse I walked back up to where I took the first photo and took this photo of a place you would miss when you drove to the carpark.
Happy Skywatch
This week the Church Explorer visits St Mary Magdalene Shipon a return visit to a church I went to during lock down when I found it locked. I have long wanted to return to visit and see inside I finally managed was glad I did
Well I'm still playing catch up from September and will be for s while yet as I like to make sure I have plenty of photos for SkyWatch. These photos were taken around Mid September when I went out for a walk up to the allotments near where I first lived when I bought a house. As usual I made sure there was some nice sky to see
I know we are now in Autumn and at the beginning of October but my garden still has some colour around to brighten it up. I will let the photos speak for themselves so enjoy
This week the church explorer visits All Saints Marcham a church I have visited before but never covered it properly due to my visit just being a fleeting one
More up to date with this blog as the photos were only taken last week when I went into Wallingford to see the height of the river Thames. If you saw the photos on Tuesday it would have been a teaser for this one
The River Thames looking dirty from the rain causing the flooding
Wallingford Bridge with blue skys peeking through the clouds
St Peters Church with it's spire that stands out
Wider view of the church and bridge
I'm down on the river bank here looking across the river
Wider shot of the scene
Happy SkyWatch
I normally would try and post some photos from a couple of week previous but after all the rain we have had in the last week I though I would show some of what happened around where I live.
