Details at King's

I fell victim to the old 'no card in camera' chestnut today so this is another of yesterday's shots. I somehow managed to get myself interviewed about aggressive dogs today by a local radio station. I thought I had agreed to an anonymous off the record conversation for research purposes but what he actually meant was 'not live broadcast'. He looked like the reporter in Broadchurch and I got sucked in. It feels like when you've had an argument with somebody and afterwards you think of all the things you SHOULD have said. It was about dog on dog aggression and I basically said I don't have much trouble with it but really when I think about it it's pretty rife it's just that you learn which dogs to avoid. Anyway the council's answer is to ban dogs in cemeteries and my answer to that was I thought they were banned already - but I actually said something about they don't need to go in there because 'they're not exactly playgrounds' which now sounds like I think that dogs should be allowed in playgrounds - when I meant they are not playgrounds for dogs!! Oh dear - on the up side when he told me which radio station I just stopped myself from saying, 'That's OK I don't know anybody who listens to that.'
Three GT:
1. I'm not a PR guru.
2. I've stocked the cupboards for 5 days so there should be no moaning for at least 48 hours.
3. Andy Murray is playing which means I can procrastinate with the ironing pile.
Its the queen of lamp posts. I'm sure I mentioned in a previous post not to trust journalists!

We can't get the tennis here, just BBC world news. Sounds like you had an interesting day! I like how the blue reflected in the window appears elsewhere in the picture. It's nicely balanced

@busylady at the moment you might be better not watching...

superb composition! and love all the tones too! fabulous capture Judith!
July 3rd, 2013  
Love the composition here. So funny about hte interview. Sounds like just the way I would have reacted, especially with the mental post-mortem afterwards
July 3rd, 2013  
i have switched over to another channel for a bit...he is not at his best just at this minute...sometimes he does better if i switch off!!!!!
Love the mellow sandstone with the trimmings of blue, beautiful Judith!
Beware of any newspaper person, they always fluster you & never get out what you wanted to say!
That is my pet trick , no card!!
July 3rd, 2013  
@happypat was just thinking that! Who's responsible for that net court!!!
July 3rd, 2013  
@fueast he needs to buck up but isn't that always our players way...keep us in suspense all the way!!
July 3rd, 2013  
@happypat @fueast Oh blimey...
July 3rd, 2013  
@judithg Murray said it better!
July 3rd, 2013  
Four beautiful elements of architecture... I especially like the way the diamond panes of glass sparkle... I don't think dogs or children should use cemeteries as playgrounds... and go Murray!
July 3rd, 2013  
Not sure if I can take much more!
July 3rd, 2013  
@fueast You might not have to!
July 3rd, 2013  
Love the verticals in this and the repeated shapes.
Love your "I don't know anybody who listens to that" even more. :)

That lamp post looks like it has a crown on.
July 3rd, 2013  
Cool perspective, fancy looking lamp
July 3rd, 2013  
What a beautiful composition! Seems to be a good thing you forgot the card or maybe we would have missed out on this little treasure! I hate being interviewed, somehow my brain stops when the camera or microphone starts ;) - I'd be such a bad celebrity ;)). Keep on procrastinating, you deserve it :)!
July 3rd, 2013  
Keep the faith!
July 3rd, 2013  
@fueast I knew he'd win ;0))
July 3rd, 2013  
We listen to you! I do know the feeling of thinking later re what I wished I had said. Nice detail and composition
July 3rd, 2013  
@judithg Yes I remember you saying that earlier!
July 3rd, 2013  
Tim
Such beautiful architecture. Even the lamp posts are regal.
July 3rd, 2013  
you are going back to your 365 roots this week Judith ....bicycles and College Buildings....super tones and a nice post processed colours...quite a cool shot
July 3rd, 2013  
Love your composition and tones
July 3rd, 2013  
Love this photo - such a beautiful building! Good for you about the interview - I have cup very strong views on aggressive dogs and think certain breeds should be totally banned and the dog owners should have a licence and not just the dog!
July 3rd, 2013  
Love all the lines and shapes in this. Great tones too. Very interesting shot. Murray certainly knows how to make us all sweat!
July 3rd, 2013  
Must have picked you as Monty clearly looks particularly aggressive!!
July 3rd, 2013  
Oh wonderful shot, very nice
July 3rd, 2013  
Great shapes and lines making a nice composition. Very attractive. Re the tennis, dinner was late as I had to keep stopping to check out the action!
July 3rd, 2013  
I really like this shot Judith. and poor you on the interview, I always have the right answer when I am in bed and thinking about all the wrong things I said!!
July 3rd, 2013  
Fabulous shot, Judith. Your Cambridge 'details' are works of art on their own. Amazing.
Love your interview story. A politician, well versed in PR, would merely say, "I'm completely against dog aggression", while smiling and offering no further thoughts or solutions. :)
That was a fantastic 5 set thriller that Andy put you through yesterday!!
July 4th, 2013  
Oh Judith I really did have to laugh when I read your comments about playgrounds!! Your shot is very pleasing and I like the way the diamond paned window echoes the sculpted grid and the other window panes the lamp!
July 4th, 2013  
I love it!
July 7th, 2013  
Oh we've all done the no card thing! Beautifully filled though xx
