Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.
All the carving, finishing, and assembly of the violin culminated last night with its first public use. It sounded good! A little on the bright side owing to the surprising stiffness of the balsa wood, but hard to tell from the sound that this wasn't a commercially-made beginner's violin. Handsome look, too! The students did a great job with this.

electric blue
It was going to be a shot of my ol favourite ukulele but then a blue electric guitar descended from the heavens like something out of spinal tap calling “take me, take me”. How could I resist.

Akustikgitarren sind Gitarren, bei denen der Ton rein mechanisch und nicht elektrisch verstärkt wird. Der Ton wird erzeugt, indem die Saitenschwingungen in Töne umgewandelt werden, die der Resonanzkörper des Instruments (Korpus) verstärkt.
Acoustic guitars are guitars in which the sound is amplified purely mechanically, not electrically. The sound is produced by converting the vibrations of the strings into tones, which are then amplified by the instrument's resonating body (body).

Macro Mondays
Strings of a piano, with a hint of hammers in the upper right corner. Is a piano a stringed instrument or a percussion instrument -- I think both!
Happy Macro Monday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Suona is a Chinese national wind instrument, and imported from Persia, there suona playing painting in Xinjiang Kizil Grottoes Temple frescoes in the Western Jin Dynasty, the latest in the 16th century in China's folklore.
These instruments (which are also called "white front orchestron" due to their paintwork) were intended for outdoors use. With relatively few pipes, they created an intensive sound. They were manufactured in considerable number and offered by large manufacturers (for instance Bruder, Ruth, Gavioli, Limonaire) via catalogue in different models. With the introduction of cartboard tapes as storage medium, a great variety of music could be played on these instruments.

A very old road sign at the junction of Beckenham High Street and Bromley Road in SE London giving distances to London and local destinations - a third side also gives the distance to the Swan public house at Wickham. This was the New Cross turnpike road of 1718. Turnpikes were toll roads set up to address the urgent need for better roads from the early 18th century. From 1767, mileposts were compulsory on all turnpikes, to inform travellers of direction and distances and to help coaches keep to schedule.
