There are about 200 waterfalls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A few are quite large, but most are medium-sized to small. One of the most picturesque falls is Wagner Falls, just South of Munising.
The Wagner Creek cascades over several small levels for a total drop of about 20 feet (6.1m). The 21-acre site is a State Park, but there are no facilities there; only the beautiful falls.
Exposure was difficult for this picture as one half was in bright sunlight, and the other side was in deep shadow.
The stage of Bayreuth Festival Theatre. Right in front is the orchestra pit. There, musicians often play music at 40 degrees Celsius. Usually they wear Bermuda shorts because they are not visible from any part of the theatre.
The unique feature is the sound delay. When the spectator hears the music, it has already been played in the orchestra pit.
Here is Wagner Falls in Munising, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, taken with a longer exposure just a few days ago.
Wagner Falls is a waterfall on Wagner Creek near Munising, in Alger County, Upper Michigan. They are in the Wagner Falls Scenic Site, a Michigan State Parkof the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

In der Nähe von Graupa, wo Richard Wagner während seiner Arbeit an der Oper Lohengrin wohnte, befindet sich im Liebethaler Grund das größte Richard-Wagner-Denkmal der Welt, ein Wallfahrtsort für viele Wagnerianer.
Das Denkmal stellt Wagner als Gralsritter dar. Zu seinen Füßen sind fünf Figuren dargestellt, die die Elemente seiner Musik verkörpern: das sphärische, das lyrische, das dramatische, das dionysische und das dämonische. Die Figuren aus Bronze sind über vier Meter hoch, zusammen mit dem Sandsteinsockel hat das Denkmal eine Höhe von 12,5 m.
Das Denkmal wurde 1911/12 vom Bildhauer und Maler Richard Guhr entworfen. Er war Professor für Monumentalkunst an der Akademie Dresden und leidenschaftlicher Wagnerianer. Ursprünglich sollte das Denkmal im Großen Garten in Dresden aufgestellt werden, der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges und die Wirtschaftskrise ließen es jedoch in Vergessenheit geraten.
Wagnerfreunde entdeckten das Denkmal in den 30er Jahren wieder und ließen es an seinem heutigen Standort an der Wesenitz errichten. Die Familie Staude, damals Besitzer der Lochmühle im Liebethaler Grund, wo Wagner 1846 Teile seiner Opern Lohengrin und Tannhäuser schrieb, stellte das Grundstück dafür kostenlos zur Verfügung, Richard Guhr finanzierte den Aufbau des Denkmals und den Sandsteinsockel. Am 21. Mai 1933, dem 50. Todestag Wagners, wurde das Denkmal enthüllt und war damit das erste Wagnerdenkmal in Sachsen.
Near Graupa, where Richard Wagner lived while working on the opera Lohengrin, the Liebethaler Grund is home to the largest Richard Wagner monument in the world, a place of pilgrimage for many Wagnerians.
The monument depicts Wagner as a Knight of the Grail. At his feet are five figures that embody the elements of his music: the spherical, the lyrical, the dramatic, the Dionysian and the demonic. The bronze figures are over four meters high, and together with the sandstone base, the monument is 12.5 m high.
The monument was designed in 1911/12 by the sculptor and painter Richard Guhr. He was a professor of monumental art at the Dresden Academy and a passionate Wagnerian. The monument was originally intended to be erected in the Great Garden in Dresden, but the outbreak of the First World War and the economic crisis caused it to be forgotten.
Wagner friends rediscovered the monument in the 1930s and had it erected at its current location on the Wesenitz. The Staude family, then owners of the Lochmühle in Liebethaler Grund, where Wagner wrote parts of his operas Lohengrin and Tannhäuser in 1846, made the property available free of charge, and Richard Guhr financed the construction of the monument and the sandstone base. The monument was unveiled on May 21, 1933, the 50th anniversary of Wagner's death, making it the first Wagner monument in Saxony.

Located just south of Munising, Michigan, Wagner Falls is one of the Upper Peninsula's many beautiful waterfalls. I was hoping for some fall color in early October, but was a bit early this year.
Location
Bayreuth (Germany): Dammwäldchen.
Subject
Bayreuth is tied with Richard Wagner, probably the best opera composer of all times, who lived there in a mansion called Wahnfried. Bayreuth also hosts the Richard-Wagner-Festspielehaus [Richard Wagner Opera House], where every year it is held the Bayreuther Festspiele [Bayreuth Festival]. Both theatre and festival are exclusively dedicated to Wagner's works. If you go to Bayreuth, nearby the Steingraeber & Söhne piano factory you will find Richard Wagner sitting on a windowsill. And they say that Germans have no sense of humour.
