DRIPPING SPRINGS NATURAL AREA
ORGAN MTS-DESERT PEAKS NATIONAL MONUMENT
NEW MEXICO
Had a quick snowfall the morning we arrived at the monument. View is from along the Dripping Springs Trail. At the end of the trail are the ruins of an 1890's hotel and health spa which by the early 1930's became a center for the treatment of tuberculosis.
May I introduce you to Kadajs latest creation?

The garden area of the Villa d'Este is known for the hundreds of fountains and many pools. This is the pool in front of the Fountain of the Organ. It contains a mechanism through which water flows and creates musical notes.
The Fountain of the Organ (Fontana dell'Organo) is one of the most famous features of the garden; it was described and imitated throughout Europe. Work on the masonry structure began in 1566. The fountain itself was made by the French fountain engineer Luc Leclerc and his nephew Claude Venard. After the death of Leclerc, Venard invented the ingenious mechanism of the water organ, which was installed in 1571.
The fountain was the first of its kind, and astonished everyone who heard it; when Pope Gregory XIII visited the villa in 1572, accompanied by his court of cardinals and princes, he insisted on inspecting the interior of the fountain, to learn if someone was not concealed inside making the music.

The Organ

The Organ is a massive sandstone monolith in Arches National Park’s Courthouse Towers, rising hundreds of feet above the desert floor. Wind and water shaped its sheer walls, creating one of the park’s most iconic rock formations.

This is the organ of the cathedral "Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation" in Nancy, the size of this instrument is really impressive. It overhangs the cathedral's nave with its majesty
The drone recorded the rays of sun and landscape (posted 2 days ago) then turned around for this view of quite distinctive basalt columns formed during a lava flow from the Dunedin volcano 10 million years ago. Our city sits in what was a 1000 m (3000 ft) high volcano but has eroded away leaving this 1200 ft mountain. Similar formations are seen in Iceland, Wyoming and Northern Ireland. Fortunately the volcano became inactive 10 million or more years ago.
This butte is called The Organ, located on the main road in Arches National Park, Utah, USA. This is a panorama of about 12 vertical images (some were cropped off the sides), taken with a Nikon 810A and Nikon 14-24 mm lens at 20 mm, f 2.8,20 sec., and ISO 12,800. Processed in PS and LR. This was taken from the path to "Park Avenue", a nearby area. The main challenge here was to get all the shots without car lights. Arches has become a very popular location for star gazing and night photography, and there is still a lot of traffic on the roads until midnight or so. The milky way was centered over The Organ shortly after twilight, and to get this composition you needed to shoot early. It took about 5 minutes to shoot the whole series, and 5 minutes without car lights was hard to come by. Due to the location near the road, car headlights can light up the formation from pretty far away. This was shot multiple times until I could get a series of photos with only a few interruptions. Anyway it worked out well. After midnight things get quieter in Arches, and most of the stargazers go home, but it's still a busy place for photographers. The butte is dimly lit with what I call "LLL", or Low Level Lighting. It is done with LED light panels (on tripods, and with warming filters) turned down very low to match starlight, and then left on the whole time. People passing by would not be able to see any light on the structure.

Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family for all the support and encouragement! Cheers, Wayne
Having scoped out a location the prior day (the daytime is a little earlier in the photostream), I returned the following morning to photograph the sunrise. There was a great sunrise, but it happened off to my right, so I turned the camera and shot it, but then came back to my original composition and waited for the color to make its way over. Only problem was that clouds got in the way, so the color never fully came through. This is as much that could be pulled out from the raw file. It was still a good morning and worth hanging out in the below freezing weather. Arches National Park, Utah, USA, December 2016

By the way, does anyone know how to delete the inaccurate and unwanted automatic tags that flickr adds to your photos?
In the parish church of Breitensee, which is a neighbourhood of Penzing, the 14th district of Vienna.
The church was built in the neo-Gothic style from 1896 to 1898 according to plans by the Breitensee master builder Ludwig Zatzka and consecrated on October 8, 1898, in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Breitensee had been part of Vienna since 1892.
The organ was built at the same time as the church in 1898 by the court organ builder Josef Mauracher from the Austrian organ building family of the same name. It was donated by Ludwig Zatzka and his wife Maria on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph, which is commemorated by a large inscription in the center of the organ case.

Located in the Arches National Park. Does it look like a pipe organ to you? I think it's a case of pareidolia - where you see something familiar where none exists, such as animals in clouds, faces on Mars, or pipe organs in the desert! Of course, it wouldn't quite have the "draw" if it was called "big skinny slab of red rock." That's the Tower of Babel behind it, by the way. No kidding.
Orgel der Hofburgkapelle
This organ was built for imperial Hofbgurgkapelle in Vienna. Its unusual case corresponds with the available space.
Anton Bruckner was the organist at this instrument.
The manufacturer, Carl Friedrich Ferdinand Buckow (1801-1864), was a typical representativ of organ romanticism.
The disposition displays clearly the characteristic of romantic organs, to imitate orchestra voices; several stops are named after stringed or other orchestra instruments.
The instrument was transferred to the Vienna Technical Museum without the upper case and without front pipes.
The missing part was restored according to the original drawing by Buckow and a photo of the front.
The namesake cactus preserved at the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona.
This is a warmth loving species that can be found on south facing rocky slopes in the monument. This location is critical during the winter months, when severe frosts can actually kill the entire cactus. Sub-freezing temperatures will kill young tissue at the end of the stems. When growth begins again, the results are indentations, or the appearance of circular waves on the organ pipes. Bumpy or wavy pipes are a record of previous battles with unusual cold.
