Colonnade (1916) at the museum - manor "Arkhangelskoe".
The monumental building of gray granite topped by a dome and is surrounded on two sides slender colonnade. It was to serve as a temple-tomb for the owners of the manor Yusupovs.
In the hall, which has excellent acoustics, sometimes arranged concerts of early music.
Never used for its intended purpose building in 1966, it was restored and converted into a branch of the museum. The main part of the exhibition is an exhibition of ceramics from the museum, where most of the things for the first time exposed to a broad review.
The acoustics are great in there for a jug band.
Here's my favourite bit of jug band music from one of my fave bands The Dead South..

The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air. -Eric Sloane-
A very uncomfortable bench but wonderful acoustics in this former limestone quarry atop Sorin's Bluff in Red Wing, MN

Had a nice walk around the lake at our local park this morning...until... I came across a Canada Goose sat by the lake, with what looked like a crossbow bolt through its head...quite distressing to see. I rang the RSPCA as soon as I got home. They sent an inspector out to investigate, she updated me later ...the goose flew onto the lake when she approached it, but looked like it might be coping ok and eating...for now. They will follow it up over the next few days and make a decision on whether or not to try and catch it.....
there are some sick people out there who get a kind of warped pleasure from injuring innocent creatures...:-(
update re Goose...It was eventually caught by the RSPCA who seem fairly confident that after the bolt is removed...it should be ok and will be resettled in a swan rescue centre....well done to the RSPCA who follow up and don't give up when an incident of animal cruelty is reported!!

This is Big Hogan alcove / amphitheater. We are south of Thunderbird Mesa on private Tribal land. Oftentimes the Tour Guides will play Navajo flute and drums and sing traditional Navajo songs. The acoustics are excellent and the setting is spectacular. There is a big hole in the roof and you can see the light on the wall.
This is the view looking out from inside the alcove.

Big Hogan is a cave natural arch eroded in DeChelly sandstone. It is located very close to Moccasin Arch. It is one of several nice arches which are included in the commercial Monument Valley tours that go to the area south of the self-guided loop drive. This arch is within the boundaries of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and a Navajo guide is required for any visitation.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_Valley#:~:text=Monument%20...
Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor.[1] It is located on the Utah-Arizona state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley is a sacred area that lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation, the Native American people of the area.[2]
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."[3]
Diné bizaad: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, which roughly translates to the valley of rocks.

The colour rendition of my Visual Acoustics VIII - New York City Sunrise image.
More colour work to come.
Facebook or any other photo sharing site on the Internet doesn't do justice to my panoramic images. Even more, no photo sharing site does do justices to my images at all. Best to see them live, for example at the Rotella galleries in NYC and Las Vegas where you can see my images in sizes up to almost 100 inches (2.5 meters).
My specific iSGM b&w workflow can also be used for processing color images. Want to know how: check From Basics to Fine Art - B&W photography- architecture and beyond that you can see here , written by me and co-author Julia Anna Gospodarou.
My images are processed to be printed large. A collection of my work can be seen as large format prints at the Rotella galleries in NYC and Las Vegas.
Each shot taken with the Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters, totalling 16 stops per image and each image with a long exposure time of around 6 minutes.

“I like those older theaters – the acoustics are perfect, I mean, you just have that feel of there’s been a thousand shows in there and now you get to be one.” Billy Gardell.
In my previous Epidaurus Theatre photograph, I already mentioned the perfect acoustics of this amazing Ancient Greek building. Beyond the architectural beauty of this monument, with its well-preserved stands, being lucky enough to hear a performance here is quite an experience in itself. Although the theater is still used today for the performance of ancient Greek plays, none were scheduled during our visit to the Peloponnese.
However, I was able to enjoy the beautiful voice of my wife singing from the center of the scene, which together with the photographs and videos that we were able to capture, was the perfect show for our story.

“Me gustan esos teatros más antiguos: la acústica es perfecta, quiero decir, tienes la sensación de que ha habido mil espectáculos allí y ahora puedes ser uno”. Billy Gardell.
En mi anterior fotografía del Teatro de Epidaurus, ya mencioné la acústica perfecta de este increíble edificio de la Grecia Antigua. Más allá de la belleza arquitectónica de este monumento, con su graderío tan bien conservado, tener la suerte de escuchar una actuación aquí es toda una experiencia en sí misma. Aunque todavía hoy se sigue usando el teatro para la representación de obras griegas antiguas, durante nuestra visita al Peloponeso no había programada ninguna.
No obstante, pude disfrutar de la preciosa voz de mi mujer cantando desde el centro de la escena, lo que junto a las fotografías y vídeos que pudimos realizar, fue el espectáculo perfecto para nuestra historia.
The site of this giant glass, multi-domed building was once home to a rope and wire factory. The project was conceived in 1997 to revitalise Gateshead by building a state-of-the-art concert venue in the unused industrial area.
Originally opened in 2004 as Sage Gateshead and renamed The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in September 2023, this architectural marvel was designed by Foster and Partners, following an architectural design competition launched in 1997 where over 100 architects registered interest.
The Engineering Marvel:
The £70 million building is made of 3,000 stainless steel panels and 250 glass panels. The entire complex is sheltered beneath a roof that is 'shrink-wrapped' around the buildings, with each auditorium conceived as a separate enclosure. The distinctive curved glass design echoes the great arch of the adjacent Tyne Bridge.
The Glasshouse contains three performance spaces: a 1,700-seater, a 450-seater, and a smaller rehearsal and performance hall, all designed with acoustic perfection in mind. Lorin Maazel, Philharmonia's Director of Touring, claims it's "in the top 5 best concert halls in the world."
From industrial wasteland to international music destination - that's the Gateshead transformation.
One of the delights of Bologna is discovering the many 'hidden' courtyards and little secluded gardens. I chanced upon one of them on my visit to the utterly wonderful International Music Museum and Library. Friar Giambattista Martini (1706-1784), the founder of this great collection and one of the first theorists of counterpoint, was himself not a foremost composer, although he did write lots of music. His strength lies in his great knowledge of the history of music and his inspired collecting of everything pertaining to that great art. The museum contains a wonderful gallery of paintings of composers and musicians, of manuscripts, scores and printed musical books, and lots of instruments.
The palazzo now the home to that collection has a long and complicated history and its decorations are quite marvelous and fit well with music. The second courtyard - the main photo - is utterly handsome with its plantation of bananas against a great frescoed landscape - much in need of restoration - by Luigi Busatti (1763-1821). Note the cymbal striker in the background. That reminded me of Psalm 150, of course. And hence it seemed appropriate to include as an inset a photo of the frontispiece - in the museum - of Marin Mersenne's (1588-1648) Harmonie universelle, contentant la thèorie et la pratique de la musique (1636). Mersenne is often called the 'Father of Acoustics', and besides being a well-known mathematician he also wrote on the harmonics of vibrating strings. Think Guitars and Pianos and Violins and the likes. Mersenne, a Minim friar, knew the Bible well, and on that frontispiece referred to Psalm 70, 22, to underwrite his Universal Harmony. The secluded garden is surely and image of that ideal.
Another one from the family album. Dr Clarion's legendary acoustics lectures were dreaded by generations of hung over students.
Oh, and as a late edit, take a look here. I saw this film a long time ago and this scene stayed with me.

Aeolus is a temporary sculpture which is currently visiting MediaCity:UK in Salford.
The artwork is not only mesmerising to look at but also produces sound when the wind blows across wires which are attached to some of the pipes.
