but it is mainly the outcome of the need we have felt for making democracy such a good thing, like a scrubbed and shining schoolboy. Actually democracy partakes of the sweat and blood of the real world. It is grimy and dangerous and will never survive until it can learn to understand the ways of bullies and take its own part. I happen to care for it not because of any moral perfection it may have, but because it is by and large the best instrument I know for giving us the kind of world we want to live in :-)

From the left hand side to the back then front right, these are the Thai classical instruments these children use:
Saw Sam Sai (Three Stringed fiddle) ( ซอสามสาย ) – it is a traditional bowed string instrument made from a special type of coconut covered on one end with animal skin. Musician playing Saw Sam Sai’ mostly sits at the front row of the ensemble.
Thai Ramwong Drum ( รำวง )– It is super heavty solid carved shell with beautiful wood grain and nice lacquer finish. It is easily tunable without tools by adjusting the ropes.
Ching ( ฉิ่ง ) and Chap ( ฉาบ ) – this is the tupe of metal percussion looks like mini cymbals made of an alloy. Ching comes in pair of bowl shape cymbals. Chap is more flat and thinner.
Ja Khe ( จะเข้ ) – is made of wood in a stylised alligator shape with three strings laying along the instruments. Two strings are made of silk yarn or nylon and the other strings is made of brass, It has raised frets made of bamboo, which are affixed to the fretboard. The body is made of soft wood trees such as jackfruit.
Traditional music can help people understand a country better. It represents the history, traditions and thoughts of a community you are in.
As for yourself, of course, either you are playing or learning to play any instruments can be seen as very therapeutic. It can raise your mood and make you calm or relaxed.
Have a wonderful day ahead!
This is a seam ripper, I focussed on the cutting edge.

Stringed instrument. Has eight strings, but the Laowa lens focuses so closely that I went with this. You might be able to see a blur of the next string, but not the peg.
Inspired by MacroMondays. But not satisfied with this. Might do another…
In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove my accounts from the Explore algorithm. Peace. I hope you know that when I comment I mean it sincerely—not to achieve the Explore algorithm requirement.
Die Schaltzentrale des Regierungsbunkers in Ahrweiler war das technische Herzstück der unterirdischen Anlage. Von hier aus sollten im Krisen- oder Kriegsfall alle lebenswichtigen Systeme – Kommunikation, Stromversorgung und Sicherheit – überwacht und gesteuert werden. Das Foto zeigt einen Raum voller alter Technik, Schaltpulte, Messinstrumente und Telefonanlagen – ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis des Kalten Krieges und der damaligen Notfallvorsorge der Bundesregierung.
The control center of the government bunker in Ahrweiler was the technical heart of the underground facility. From here, all vital systems - communication, power supply, and security - were to be monitored and controlled in the event of a crisis or war. The photo shows a room full of old technology, control panels, measuring instruments, and telephone systems - an impressive testament to the Cold War era and the federal government’s emergency preparedness at the time.

Oaxaca (Mexique) – Je sortais de la "basilica de nuestro senora de saledad", quand j’ai entendu un accordéon qui égrenait quelques notes. La musique était bizarre, comme si l'accordéoniste – que je ne voyais pas à cet instant – ne savait pas jouer de son instrument. Une "mélodie" hésitante, mais envoutante. Répétitive. Je me suis laissé guider par les notes, jusqu'à cette famille qui faisait la manche. Si la musique n'était pas extraordinaire, elle était obsédante et la scène qui s'offrait à moi était magique. Quatre personnages sur ce fond bleu, baignant dans une lumière chaude. Les rayons du soleil se concentraient sur le visage illuminé de la femme. J’ai hésité à m'approcher, de peur que l'enchantement ne soit rompu. Les notes maladroitement jouées enveloppaient la scène et renforçaient ce sentiment de vivre un moment irréel. Je n'ai pas osé prendre de photo. Je me suis éloigné. Cette famille déshéritée me mettait mal à l'aise. Pour la première fois, je me suis senti "voyeur". Vingt secondes plus tard, je suis revenu sur mes pas, estimant que cette photo, je la regretterai toute ma vie. J'ai mis un gros billet dans la casquette rouge tenue par la jeune mère et j'ai demandé si je pouvais les prendre en photo ? Un simple acquiescement de la tête, à peine perceptible, de la jeune femme. J'ai fait deux photos. Pas une de plus.
The accordionist who did not know to play
Oaxaca (Mexico) - I was leaving the "basilica de nuestro senora de saledad", where I had taken some pictures. As it was dark I increased the sensitivity. Normal. But what is less is that when going out, I did not change the sensitivity, while there was an astonishing brightness at the end of the day.
That's when I heard an accordion. The music was weird, as if the accordionist - whom I couldn't see - didn't really know how to play his instrument. A hesitant "melody", but captivating like repetitive music.
I let myself be guided by the notes, until I saw this little family that appealed to charity. If the music was not extraordinary despite its haunting side, the scene before me was wonderful. Four figures on this blue background, bathed in a very warm light. The woman was overexposed by the ray of sunlight that hit her face.
I hesitated to approach, I do not know why, probably for fear that this spectacle does not stop. May the enchantment be broken. The awkwardly played notes enveloped the stage and reinforced this feeling of living an unreal moment. Magic.
Finally I did not dare to take the photo and I walked away. After twenty seconds I changed my mind - I'm still a rationalist - and I retraced my steps, telling myself that this photo, I will regret it all my life.
I put a big ticket in the red cap held by the young mother and asked if I could take a picture of them ?
They haven't changed their proud and distant attitude. I took two photos. Not one more.
It was in the evening at the hotel that I realized that the sensitivity was not adapted, accentuating the contrast.

at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It looked a bit like a violin, but it has 6 strings, and is absolutely beautiful! AS you can tell, I don't know much about these things...and there was not enough time to find the appropriate information as we had to get to a Carol Service.....
