Actually, it is a church at the end of a DOUBLE rainbow at the end of a rain storm at the end of the day. The rainbow missed the water tower on its other side.
This panoramic shot is stitched together from three shots and then cropped. My 20mm lens is pretty wide but this was an ultra wide scene.
Actually it's Turkey Vultures, Black Vultures and my husband Ken. 😉 Orlando Wetlands Park, Christmas, Florida
You can actually see this Mothership thunderstorm sucking up dirt and stones with its severe updrafts. This storm raced across Kansas at 60mph which made it very difficult to chase. The storm smashed up several towns as well as cutting off the power, it also produced Golfball size Hail and 85mph straight-line winds.
We managed to escape the worst but still took a lot of large hail. Some other chasers weren't as fortunate as they got caught up in it and had their vehicle windows smashed because of the stones and hail near Sharon Springs, Kansas.
If you fancy a photographic storm adventure like this then we are now taking bookings for the 2021 photography masterclass storm chase tour, which is Tour 5. see this link for more details.

I was actually quite happy Shishka insisted we rest here. It was almost a year ago when I sat here the last time. So much has changed since then. We've seen autumn and winter and spring and summer. We've had lots of adventures and solved all kinds of mysteries. Now we're out to learn the robin song so we can summon our guide.
'See, told you we'd stop here. Happy now?' I said.
'It's really pretty and I like all the forest smells. But . . . ' Shishka said.
'But what? I asked.
'We have to find Little Red Fox, but what if she's hiding under all those leaves?'
'She won't be,' I said, though I wasn't so sure myself. All I knew was the red fox was supposed to live near the gnome, but Little White Fox didn't tell us exactly where. 'Anyway, the fox spirit told us Red Fox lives with mushrooms. They grow on tree stumps.'
'They might just be. I've seen mushrooms hiding under leaves,' Shishka persisted.
'Then you'll have to burrow under the leaves and find them,' laughed Cashew from the backpack.
'But it is wet on the ground,' Shishka said, huddling closer to me.
I put my paw around Shishka and gave her a hug. 'The red fox spirit won't be under the leaves, but if she is, we can use a stick to gently move the leaves around.'
'Oh yes, we can do that,' Shishka said, happily. 'I wish the leaves were dry though. It's so much fun when they go crunch-crunch-crunch under our paws.'
'I'd love that too. Perhaps they will be soon.'
'Yay,' Shishka danced. 'Can we go visit the gnome now?'
'Do you know the way from here?'
'We all know the way. We walk down that path, then down steps, and along another path to the place all the bluebells grew. Then we walk on fallen leaves to the tree the gnome lives. He always stands outside his front door.'
'Okay, Shishka, lead the way,' I said.
Arctic fox snuggles from Juniper and Shishka.
She actually went as a ladybug for Halloween, but I had this idea a couple of days ago and couldn't resist getting it done in time for the last day of 'roid week.
Her previous Polaroid experience is here.

AMAZING selection of beers and cider and some premo wines like you would never expect!!
Grey Seal is actually much commoner than Common Seal in Britain. We have about 162,000 Grey Seals in Britain, but only 48-56,000 Common Seals. Approximately 38% of the world population of Grey Seals breed in Britain, and 88% of these breed in Scotland. And as you can see, they aren't always grey in colour, though most of them are grey, with lots of large darker blotches like this
www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/51275839898/in/photolist
You can identify this one as a Grey Seal by its forehead shape, which is a straight line from crown to snout giving a Roman nose profile, whereas Common Seal has a forehead dip giving a more dog-like face. Grey Seals also have almost parallel nostrils, which converge to a V in Common Seal. The scientific name is Halichoerus grypus. The first name comes from the Greek words halios (the sea) and khoiros (a small pig), so literally small pig of the sea. Grypus is Latin for hooked from the Roman nose face profile, which is slightly convex when viewed side-on. I photographed this one at Wells-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk coast.
This little guy lead me on a merry chase trying to get a good picture of him. I think he was actually teasing me, and purposely jumping about to keep this old man from having time to even focus on his antics? He would jump from within inches of me, then fly to one of the nearby trees and back again to the handrail on the platform. Then back to one of the trees farther away and then to the ramp I was standing on till he thought he had me good and dizzy, then he posed just for a moment long enough to allow this shot. And of course I thanked him and Jesus of course for allowing me to get this shot. They're such cute little birds, I was happy to get the shot. I hope you like it? Have a fantastic day, and God bless you all.
------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH! Because JESUS LOVES YOU! ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Actually, this was the entrance to the main building of The Ulaman on Bali. The round opening reminds one of the round doors of the hobbit houses.
I actually took this shot through a closed and rather dirty window also, but I was adjusting some problems on my small camera and so took a few misty scenes. I really liked the street and buildings opposite our own apartment block. Editing brought out those fantastic clouds a lot more and showed more of the mist also. I also realize too much editing can add some unwanted effects as in the trees here (called a halo), so I must be more careful.
De NH Industries NH90 is een Europese middelgrote, tweemotorige, multifunctionele militaire helikopter. Het was de eerste productiehelikopter met een volledig fly-by-wire vluchtbesturing.
Dankzij een relatie bij de Koninklijke Marine mocht ik een dag meevaren op het luchtverdedigings- en commandofregat de Zeven Provincien. Onderdeel van deze dag was ondermeer een demontratie van de luchtmacht, met haar NH 90 Helicopter, op volle zee, Het weer was niet zo fraai, maar dat kwam de setting eigenlijk alleen maar ten goede....

Actually this photograph of Selworthy Green in West Somerset was taken last year but I have little doubt it still looks the same this year and will do so next year. The lack of change and the continuity is what makes this location such a popular visitor attraction.
The village is part of the 12,000 acre Holnicote Estate in the care of the National Trust. These two cottages and the others on Selworthy Green were rebuilt in 1828 by Sir Thomas Acland of Killerton. Sir Thomas was a philanthropist and designed the village himself to provide housing for the aged and infirm of the Holnicote Estate.
Actually ... Berry Falls (Big Basin State Park).
But I would like to think the late-great Berry White would approve of this message.

Hi everyone.
I won't carp on this. But it is a big anniversary for me. I actually feel very free from this now. It clouded all off 2010 and took my light away. But it is back, I found it in Arosa and through the passage of time.
My father was a gigging musician, so this shot, from my November tour, is a tribute to him and the nights he spent.
Many of you already know the story.
But some of you don't. If anyone is interested, this is a record of what happened with my father. I won't mention it again any time soon, but I need to make another tribute to his memory after all that happened.
I never met my father.
Easter Day 2008 a woman contacted me about him, and I decided to try to find him. We spoke for the first time the day I learned the friend in this video was killed in a car accident.
www.youtube.com/user/piano4film#p/u/70/cL4oJ7K1KY8
After this I had a few phone calls and some letters and gifts from my father. July 2008 I drove to the remote area in the Catskills to meet him, but I could not find him.
We were never in the same room, face to face. We never touched or saw each other's expression. I had not heard from him in about 3 months and we had not spoken in about 6.
I never learned much about him and had many questions.
I still do. I learned 1/11/10 he died sometime in the last 2 weeks.
1/12/10
He lived in a very remote area, in a 12 by 5 foot trailer with no electricity, a battery powered radio, and a propane heater. He was last seen Dec 22, and had probably been dead since around Christmas. I am waiting for the coroner's report, a few of my father's things, and his ashes. I am used to the idea, though sad, and full of questions. He obviously chose to be alone. He was free, and lived out the consequences of his actions.
1/20/10 a box with some of his belongings arrived. The smell was horrible.
I have salvaged a few documents and a xylophone. It is strange to see the remnants of a life. You can hear it here:
www.flickr.com/photos/piano4film/4311045566/
The box was very hard to open it. It contained all I will get of my father's belongings.
A man I never met.
It had eye-glasses, a Bible, papers, some interesting family documents, a photo album with several pictures of a dog in a burned out house, and this photo of me:
www.flickr.com/photos/my_fake_plastic_earth/3431723004/
I sent it to him after my recital on Horowitz' piano.
1/25/10 His ashes and a letter from Veterans Affairs offering burial stones and services arrived today.
I am relieved to have them and hope to spread some of them in Kamakura. He was stationed for a time in Yokohama.
1/11/11
I took the ashes to Japan in June of 2010... I made this video
www.flickr.com/photos/piano4film/4744584201/
A year has past since the phone call from the police. I am much more at peace.
But puzzle at what almost was.
The insurance, coroner, and bank conspired so I got no money. I learned how the people looking in on him would wait weeks to see him. He really was alone.
The hardest part for me is there are no happy memories, only questions, horror, and disconnection. But I found my light again. The last Swiss trip really helped me.
Thanks if you got this far.
All the best
Tony
Actually the 'blood moon' was planned to capture but a lot of clouds made that impossible.
Hours later the atmosphere was mostly clean and i took this shot with the sigma 150-600 and 1.4 converter. Instead of a tripod i used my monopd and deactivated the electronic stabilizer.
On this single shot (no stacking) some afterwork with Infinity Photo was neccessary but I avoided to convert to b/w 😇.

Actually an optical illusion - it may look like you’re seeing right through but it’s actually a reflection. Belfast city centre.
I actually drove here this morning with a different shot in mind, but when I saw the sunrise behind the bridge, I literally stopped the car in the middle of the road, pulled over, and dashed out to set up the tripod and get some shots. Good thing it was early morning and there were no other cars around. I wasn't planning on taking this because I already have a shot of this bridge from day 22. This was such a different look to it, I thought worth repeating the subject.
Actually its not a great shot but this trip was very memorable and my first use of sony camera which I bought couple of days before this 5 days vacation in HK. ^_^ (too long to tell stories, the rest is all in my head!) :D
Actually, the Big Sioux river is not very big. Nonetheless, this Ellis & Eastern hopper train still needs a bridge crossing as it approaches Lyon Blvd, smack dab in the middle of the wye connecting the Knife River quarry lead.
Actually young lovers captured in fraganti.
The lake and mount composed in 3d. The rest of elements shoot previously.
The Finale
So you have probably been wondering what the days and weeks mean. It actually was not supposed to be this way. Starting back in February or March, I almost completely lost the will to post. I had images from October, November, and December that were in Lightroom that I had not even looked at since the day I took them. I had a camera roll and multiple notes filled with random photos, train symbols, and all sorts of information that had no meaning until I actually associated the information with something. It was also at this time I felt fairly discouraged. From December 23 to March 16, the day before I went out again, I had only been out twice. I believe February saw one single sunny, cloudless day in the Gorge this year, a day in which I had class. There was a day that called for sun and no clouds, and I actually drove out before sunrise, planning to shoot all day only to arrive in Hood River as the sun came up to a solid sheet of clouds. I turned right around and came home. February is up there as being on of my favorite months to shoot, and I expected multiple outings this year, only to come away with none.
So anyway, about a month ago, I thought I would motivate myself to edit and post the stuff I hadn’t looked at for a few months. As much as I wish I never had to post the images, I knew that if I saved up all my favorites at the same time, it would make the posting more interesting for me. I created a note that listed in order which images I would post and what needed to be said. The list was roughly 21 images, and I thought it would make sense to do one a day, so I opted to keep the title and everything the same as it is in my notes when I post here. I guess I felt the need to explain because I do not want anyone getting the wrong idea here. By no means do I think my images are any better than anyone else’s. It was simply for me to organize my thoughts and make it easier for me to actually share some of my adventures with you all. There are plenty of amazing photographers that have come before me and who will come after me, and as someone who has only been shooting for about 4 years now, I have a long way to go before I have the right to make any claims about what’s good and what’s bad. I like looking at cool stuff, you like looking at cool stuff, and that is exactly how I want to keep it. If you made it this far, let’s add some context to what exactly you are looking at.
This is BNSFs Oregon Trunk Subdivision. Minus all the CTC upgrades within the last few years, this whole piece of railroad feels a bit like a time capsule. Estimates in the early 2000s put the traffic levels for this line somewhere in the teens or low 20s, numbers that are nowhere in sight today, and quite frankly, numbers that will never exist. The line, running south out of Wishram, WA to Chemult, OR, where it meets with the UP Cascade Subdivision, sees about 4-6 trains a day. Seeing trains in good light on this line is incredibly challenging. There is a reason that this shot, which is fairly accessible to anyone who hikes and is not afraid of heights, is scarcely seen given how photogenic it is. If the searchlights and pole line were not removed, this line would almost feel a bit like Raton is now. The road into here is actually the old ROW for the competing company (backed by Edward Harriman) that built along the eastern side of the Deschutes River Canyon. You can find abandoned infrastructure in a few places in the canyon.
Within the first 71 miles, there are 3 sidings, 2 real ones. The first siding, being Moody at MP5, is 4329 feet and has rarely ever been used. The first real siding is Oakbrook at MP38.4, being 6232 feet in length. Dixon, at MP 70, is 5469 feet, and the sidings continue from here at regular 20 mile or so intervals all the way to Chemult. Every train through here is very short, almost every single one is a manifest, and the speeds are very slow. A few more trains per day and it would almost be perfect. What you are looking at is a location known as the Twin Bridges. Instead of following the curvature of the Deschutes, the railroad crosses the river, through a tunnel, and then crosses it again immediately upon leaving the portal. The train originated from the ballast pit at “Missile Base”, a location on the Lakeside Sub. It is running to the yard at Lookout, CA, presumably for a maintenance project on the Gateway. This is, perhaps, about as peaceful a rail line you will find.
As for the current Favorites Series, it will be something I continue in the future, but this will be it for a little bit. All I have is worthless junk again, some of which I will throw around here and there. It has been fun. Thanks for viewing. Until next time.

Sherar, OR // BNSF Oregon Trunk Sub
(018/365) Well actually you do have to pay the Ferryman (it is a man) otherwise you ain't going anywhere HFF! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqZEp4Fb6qw
Photo taken through my car windscreen. I'd just collected my daughter off the bus in Waterford city. We were first in line to embark, always exciting to be at the front as you get great views, we saw an Otter on one occasion. Once on board you can get out of your car if you wish & go up the steps for a better view. We didn't bother as it was freezing cold.
This "roll on, roll off" car ferry crosses the River Barrow & transports light vehicles/passengers the 500 metres from Ballyhack in Co. Wexford to Passage East in Co. Waterford & vise versa. It sails constantly all day from 7am to 8pm (10pm in the Summer) as you can see there are just 3 cars on this crossing & there were only 8 of us going back over. In the Summer it would be packed with tourists' cars & it takes much longer to load up.
Although it costs €12 return (or €30 for 6 crossings on a saver ticket) we live less than 10 minutes drive from Ballyhack so I tend to go this way to Waterford city as the other option is a 50-60 minute drive via New Ross often stuck in slow moving traffic.
Actually got out with my big boy camera last night. This is a 5 min exposure shot at f/10, ISO 100 using my extreme neutral density filter.
Happy Tuesday friends :)
Actually, for our cat, this enforced lock-in has not been very relaxing. She likes her space, and having all four of us around all the time has resulted in just too much attention.
Snapped with a Pentacon 135/2.8 zebra.
Looks a bit down, but actually this bird will have a belly full of small fish, there were rich pickings here.
Actually I wanted to photograph a beautiful sunset this evening. But when I arrived at a good spot the last sunset light I was able to capture is what you can see here.
I mounted my camera on the tripod - took 3 shots - and the beautiful red sky turned blue ;) Next time I'll have to be earlier.
Greetings from Germany!
Actually the squirrel lives in Dal's wood pile...odds and ends of wood that my partner figures he's going to put to good use one day. This cute squirrel has taken up residence somewhere down in the middle of the pile. And I'm getting way too attached to him! But just look at that grin...who could resist?
Actually this is my neighbors field so I should change the name to Out Standing In My Neighbors Field.
Actually a different image.
I have limited post-processing options now and they are less than satisfactory. Still, I'm compelled to post.
Actually, they’re my favorite decorative pins, but I imagine that in the tiny hands of woodland sprites, they’d make beautiful scepters for the smallest of royal families.
I wish I could claim that it was my idea to photograph the pins this way, but I was inspired by this lovely image www.flickr.com/photos/hummmlan/3441956984/in/faves-409804...
A heartfelt thanks to Bsandtana for the lovely testimony. Be sure to visit her magical stream filled with florals and interesting insects!

Actually the birds flying over the pass are NOT photoshopped. I didn't know they were there until I uploaded.
Actually taken 06/12/2016. Nikon D600. Contrast masking in Lightroom.
This was in the show "From Dusk Til Dawn" at PhotoPlace gallery in MIddlebury Vt, during November-ish of 2016.
(I never actually got to see the show - it's 6+ hour drive from here, but the catalog is available from the gallery. Besides yours truly, there's a guy in Summit who had some neat stuff, plus others)
Actually, I'm not nearly as frazzled as this suggests. Things are going very smoothly, and I'm on number 5 of 8.
Late night last night, but tonight I should be able to get some sleep while the computer does the hard work.
Huzzah!

But hope you like seeing the comparisons, and I'm so busy it will take a little bit to get to the close ups, please be patient.
Macro Monday: #Wheel(s)
Size of the frame: 5 cm / 1,96 inches
Please press "Z".
Flickr wheels? Possible :-) Last minute idea yesterday evening. Actually I had a "Wheelscape" in mind, a close-up of a real wheel or tire with interesting patterns and rubber texture. But since I don't have a car or bike, that would have meant to take the camera (and tripod!), go out, and shoot a random car or bicycle wheel/tire in the street at a low angle. Really? And risk being reported to the police because of suspicious behaviour or a possible manipulation of a car, or as a possible bicycle thief? No. Definitely no ;-) Apart from the fact that I would have felt incredibly stupid squatting in front of a car tire with my camera. Understandable, right? As an extra excuse: it was waaayyy too hot to go out yesterday, cosy 38 °C / 100,4 °F.
So I stayed at home, and had to find something else to capture. I didn't want to capture the toy car wheel, so went on an expedition around the apartment to find some other wheel. I took a few shots of a rotary cutter, with a sewing pattern as background, but it looked boring. But at least that gave me the idea to try and capture my sewing machine's yarn bobbin(s) :-) They are round, they have a hole in the middle, they run on an axis (sort of) = Wheel(s).
Since the curtains were drawn to keep the sunshine and heat out, I used an LED lamp for some extra light, and that cast an interesting looking light reflection / shadow (something I have experimented with before) on the white semi-glossy tile I used as background. An interesting thing I had never noticed before is that the yarn isn't just made of threads of one colour, but both the red and blue yarn are made of coloured and white threads; I suppose the white is some synthetic fibre to increase the tear strength of the yarn.
Captured with the camera mounted "lens first" / upside down (my new macro tripod has already payed off in terms of safety and saving nerves!), and processed, as usual, in Luminar 3: Accent-AI filter at 30, small and medium details at 100 (yarn bobbins and threads only), removed colour cast, method 2 at 20; and in ON1 Photo RAW, where I purified the highlights.
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Am Rad drehen
Bzw. an der Garnspule. In Flickr-Farben? Warum nicht, war ja verrückt genug hier in letzter Zeit :-) Pink, Blau und Gelb waren auch die einzigen Farben, die ich auf den Auswechselspulen schon drauf hatte, und da Gelb nicht so toll aussah, habe ich mich an Pink und Blau gehalten.
Das war aber gar nicht meine ursprüngliche Idee. Eigentlich wollte ich eine Art "Reifenlandschaft" fotografieren, also ganz nah ran an einen Auto- oder Fahrradreifen, für ein evtl. interessantes Muster. Dumm nur, dass ich weder Auto noch Rad fahre. Das hätte also bedeutet, sich das Stativ zu schnappen, rauszugehen und einen beliebigen Reifen an einem auf der Straße geparkten Gefährt zu fotografieren. Und dabei zu riskieren, als vermeintliche Fahrraddiebin oder Reifen-Manipulatorin Ärger zu bekommen. Und darauf hatte ich keine Lust. Mal davon abgesehen, dass ich mir unendlich blöd dabei vorgekommen wäre, mich mit der Kamera vor einen Autoreifen zu hocken. Nachvollziehbar, oder? Und zu heiß (38 °C in Berlin) war es gestern sowieso.
Es musste also ein "inhäusiger" Reifen her. Das Spielzeugauto wollte ich nicht nehmen, also war eine kleine Erkundungstour durch die Wohnung angezeigt. Bei der ich irgendwann den Rollschneider entdeckte (den ich noch nie verwendet habe, um Stoff zuzuschneiden). Ich habe es mit einem Schnittmuster als Hintergrund versucht, fand die Bilder aber eher uninteressant. Immerhin war ich aber nun schon mal in der richtigen, nämlich der Nähecke gelandet. Und da fielen mir die Ersatz-Garnspulen ein, die der MM-Definition von "Wheel(s)" ziemlich genau entsprechen. Der wegen der zugezogenen Vorhänge und des schwindenden Tageslichts benötigte LED-Strahler brachte mich dann zusätzlich auf die Idee, mit den Lichtspiegelungen und dem Schattenwurf, den er auf der matt-glänzenden Kachel (als Untergrund) erzeugte, zu spielen (was ich schon einmal für ein MM-Thema gemacht hatte). Eine Idee in letzter Minute gestern am späteren Abend :-)
Ein interessantes Detail am Garn, das ich so zuvor noch nicht wahrgenommen hatte, ist die Zweifarbigkeit des Fadens. Offensichtlich besteht Nähgarn nicht nur aus Fäden einer Farbe. Ich vermute, dass der weiße Faden aus einer Kunstfaser ist, um die Reißfestigkeit des Garnes zu erhöhen. Bitte "Z" drücken!
Entwickelt in Luminar 3: Accent-AI-Filter bei 30, kleine und mittlere Details auf 100 angehoben (nur Spulen und Fäden), Farbstich entfernen mit der Methode 2 bei 20; und in ON1 Photo RAW habe ich noch die Lichter "gereinigt" ("purify highlights").
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne, kühle(re) Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Actually broke out the 18-200 for the first time with a selfie. Converted this to B/W and used the TRA "Beer goggles" for the blur.

(Actually the back part of the theater is the one that lies on Avenida 9 de Julio)
The Colon Theater of Buenos Aires is one of the most important opera houses of the world. Its rich and prestigious track record and the exceptional acoustic and architectural features of its building place it at the level of theaters such as La Scala in Milan, the Paris Opera, the Vienna State Opera, London's Covent Garden and the Metropolitan NY.
In its first headquarters, the Teatro Colón functioned from 1857 to 1888, the year it was closed for the construction of a new room. It was inaugurated on May 25, 1908 with a function of Aida.
Famous musicians that performed in this theater are Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith, Camille Saint-Saëns, Manuel de Falla, Arturo Toscanini, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Zubin Mehta, Enrico Caruso, Alfredo Kraus, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, Lily Pons, Maria Callas, Anna Pavlova, Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn, Julio Bocca, Paco De Lucía, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, among many others.
