Evenings have been busier than expected here, but I'm looking forward to a catch up with everyone's photos this bank holiday weekend!
It was the May the 16th back in 1983 when Michael Jackson performed his first Moonwalk!
When the US music label " Motown " celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1983 with a big show, the stars of the soul scene met. In addition to Marvin Gaye , Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder also appear. The Jackson brothers are also there.

After their appearance, Michael Jackson remains alone on stage - in his classic outfit : hat, glove, pulled up pants, white socks, patent leather shoes. The US singer presents the song " Billie Jean " from his new album " Thriller ".
When he starts dancing, the audience is thrown from their seats. He does pirouettes, stands on tiptoe, spins across the stage as if there was no gravity. After three minutes and 39 seconds it happens: Jackson moves backwards across the stage with gliding steps - for the first time he shows the " Moonwalk ".
Jackson did not invent dance. "The moonwalk came from these great black kids who live in the ghettos," he says. "I just took it over." The " moonwalk " itself is older though. It was performed by dancers like Bill Bailey as early as the 1940s , when it was still called " Backslide ".
In the 1960s, he is part of the repertoire of Radio - dancers like the " Electric Boogaloos ". Jackson is taught the step for the " Motown " show. By Jackson's distinctive dance style of "will moonwalk " famous.

The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by wooden hammers that are coated with a softer material (modern hammers are covered with dense wool felt; some early pianos used leather). It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.
Most modern pianos have a row of 88 black and white keys, 52 white keys for the notes of the C major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A and B) and 36 shorter black keys, which are raised above the white keys, and set further back on the keyboard. This means that the piano can play 88 different pitches (or "notes"), spanning a range of a bit over seven octaves
Also the King of Pop named Michael Jackson used the piano within his famous #earthsong !

Back from the moon with my kids...or better back from a hike in the Steinernes Meer (literally "Rocky Sea") in the Berchtesgaden alps.
Zurück vom Mond mit meinen Kindern...oder besser vom Steinernen Meer in den Berchtesgadener Alpen...
The Steinernes Meer is a high karst plateau in the Northern Limestone Alps. As one of the nine sub-ranges of the Berchtesgaden Alps the Steinernes Meer belongs partly to Bavaria and partly to Salzburg.

Eines meiner Highlights dieses Jahr
Es ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung den Mond direkt hinter einem Objekt genau zu platzieren, da gehts schon mal sportlich zu 😆 man glaubt gar nicht wie schnell der Mond ist...
Das Bild ist während einer meiner Kurse entstanden, an diesem Abend war das Wetter und der berechnete Standpunkt von 6 km Entfernung sehr perfekt.
Erfolgserlebnis pur für alle Teilnehmer beim Moonwalk 🌝 Jedes Mal ist es wieder anders und sehr spannend
Mal was neues ausprobiert, Mond und Silhouette. Hätte mir mal jemand sagen müssen dass der Mond so flitzt, das ist so ziemlich das einzige Foto von einer Silhouette was ich hingebracht habe 😆 die Qualität ist auch nicht ganz berauschend, aber mir gefällt es trotzdem, vorallem war es ein schöner Abend
running in the light of the moon...have a pleasant week my flickr-friends
