Softmachine, Nettle Bed — The Canterbury Sound — (43) Cool in Bygone Days


Image credit. Roughly the view of Canterbury from my room, tough this painting was completed 20 years before I arrived in Kent.

 Until a few minutes ago, I didn't know that there was anything like the Canterbury Sound. I spent three lovely years in Canterbury, love the area, and become at once keen-earned whenever the town's name is mentioned.

Kannten Sie den Canterbury Sound? Ich nicht, auch wenn ich drei Jahre in Canterbury gelebt habe, die Gegend liebe und deshalb immer aufhorche, wenn ich den Namen dieser wundervollen Stadt höre.




The view was not as close as this (below), but the painting gives you a sense of the luscious colours in which cathedral and town used to be embedded most of the time.
