July 17 2007:
Charterhouse

Godalming

A statue of Thomas Sutton stands outside Charterhouse School, one of Britains most expensive schools where a place is likely to cost you about £26,000 per year.

Amongst the many notables who have been educated there are musicians Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, Mike Rutherford and Peter Gabriel who together formed Genesis.

Excellent POV and fine finish work.

That lineup was the REAL Genesis...
...before Phil mucked it all up.
:^O

Out of my price range.
I'd have to live under a bridge to afford that.

Guest 18-Jul-2007 04:46
For that price, they could make a statue of each student ;-)
No wonder why Genesis' music was egghead!
Dave Wixx18-Jul-2007 03:17
Excellent perspective and works superbly in black and white.
I haven't been to Godalming for years, but it was a great town, if a little out of mt price range!
Roe..18-Jul-2007 03:12
love the angle and composition..I'm impressed..
Guest 18-Jul-2007 02:15
How cool! V
Cindi Smith18-Jul-2007 00:43
That doesn't look like Phil Collins either! Great musicians in the lineup there!

LoL at Zak's comment. The statue's tights are a bit Norah Batty.
Zak17-Jul-2007 19:51
only £26k? do they do Buy 1 Get 1 Free? ;-)
Naomi 17-Jul-2007 19:38
Great shot, but it makes me a little dizzy!
Carole Stevens17-Jul-2007 18:53
Gorgeous pov Ray and that sky is so dramatic!
JSWaters17-Jul-2007 18:21
Quite an imposing pair, Ray. The dramatic clouds are the perfect back drop, but out of my league I'm afraid.

Guest 17-Jul-2007 17:34

Stu17-Jul-2007 17:27
Like the choice of angle Ray. Both school building and statue look very imposing in the photo.

Still...26 grand?!

Blimey.
