Building - January 2021

Our theme this month was "Building".  

Before looking at what you have all have sent in, you might enjoy looking at these images on the BBC website entitled "The Art of Building 2020".

(If you think you might know where this is, then Sue will be happy to hear from you)


Don - Building demolition

(the space formerly occupied by Alton Magistrate's Court and Alton Police Station)

Seasonal songs - Dec 2020

 

Happy New Year to you all and welcome to 2021!

December's  topic was to illustrate a line from a Christmas carol or other seasonal song.  You might well be able to think of an alternative song/line for some of the images - no need to tell me though!



Don - "7 swans a swimming"



Rosie - "Santa Claus is coming to town" - on the Santa Express of course!





Kate - "In the Bleak Midwinter"



Rowan & Eden - "the Holly & the Ivy"



Rosie - "O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree".  
Fabulous crocheted trees on the green in Four Marks




Gaynor -
Silent Night - Kings College, Cambridge 2020



Kate - "Have yourself a Merry little Christmas"!



Sue - Christmas Day fanfare



John - "It came upon a midnight clear"



Ken - "While Shepherds Watched" at The Butts



Jan - "Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree"
(with quite significant leaf drop!)



Steve - "Last Christmas"!

........ our topic for January 2021 is "Building".
As usual you have carte blanche to interpret it as you like!
