(Top 10 hit in 1994 for REM from their album Monster)
A classic REM pop-tune...
...and a classic photo of two of the three radio masts at the top of Cleeve Hill. These guys are a familiar landmark to all Cheltonians - they've been standing on the top of Cleeve Hill for years and can be seen for miles around, and in fact I'm sure that they're already the subject of a couple of pics in my Cotswold galleries. Their initial photogencity has worn off on me now (I've lived her for over 20 years) but it's nice every now and then to capture their steel-framed beauty. And with over a gazillion triangles between the three (I counted them...) I'd be daft not to shot them for the Challenge!
Having said all that, I must actually give full credit for this shot to Finn, it was he who saw and suggested the masts when we were up there the other day, although he didn't proffer any advice on the music :o). But bizarrely, the song was already buzzing around my head when Finn came up with the visual idea...what a partnership! Although it was a cold (for the UK) day, there was still a bit of warmth in the setting sun, which makes a nice layer at the foot of the composition
