Beethoven't ninth and final symphony is one of the greatest pieces of Western music in all of history. The composition and concept behind it is beyond "Olympian", as it has often been described. Certainly it is one of the most powerful, hair-raising and rapture inducing musical pieces I have ever encountered. If you have the chance to see it performed live with a full symphony orchestra and large choir, I HIGHLY recommend it. Doing so years ago left me utterly speechless.
I chose to do this for the contest because the opening lines of the Choral, the final moment, "O Freunde, nicht diese Töne !"
( Oh friends, not these sounds ! ) came to mind when looking at Classical paintings of battles. Then when I saw the portrait of Beethoven himself the whole project crystallized. The title is a call to end all wars and to bring about the unity of the human race - beyond nations - "Alle menschen werden bruder". This is hardly a call without relevance today.
I used images from a free download site.

Music Link: "Ninth Symphony - Chorale" Opus 125 ( 1822-24 ) - Ludwig van Beethoven. Conducted in this video by Leonard Bernstein at a 1989 performance in Berlin to celebrate the removal of the Berlin Wall. Each conductor brings their own interpretation to the podium and thankfully Bernstein had the great sensitivity NOT to rush this symphony as so many others have done. The opening movement requires a stately grandeur to it that's best brought out by letting those gargantuan opening chord sequences in D Minor breathe and expand in consciousness to their fullest extant before careening ahead to the next ones. There are newer and sharper videos but Bernstein's nailed it for me for his impeccable and passionate interpretation.

I think this is banded agate, but I'm not so confident in that that I wanted to put it in the title. HMM

"Oh flowers, how lovely!" was my dear wife's response as I returned from a quick shopping trip. She didn't even ask what I'd done. Of course what I'd actually done was to grab a subject for this week's FF homework. It didn't take long for her to work that out. The vase is an art deco design by the well known 1920s-1930s British ceramicist Charlotte Rhead.
The photo was taken as shown using an old filter, which does not fit my current lens, smeared with Vaseline and balanced precariously on the front of it while I held a reflector to bounce some windowlight back onto the flowers. Thank goodness for delayed shutter release. Processing was light (by my standards anyway) with some colours boosted and texture and a small vignette added.

Earlier this year I did a marble shot called translucent. At the time the amazingly talented Bluesrose suggested a crop that I reticent about doing - mainly because I had already made one suggested change. But I have since acquired more of love of square format photos and thought that I'd give it a go. So this is for you Maris - thanks!

A friend introduced me to this "unique" steampunk band. I promised her I would add their site on one of Selene's photos for people to hear. They are a musical pantomime troupe called "Steam Powered Giraffe" and I really enjoy their music.

In ogni luogo
ci sono luoghi traslucenti
attraverso cui si può oltrepassare
il tempo e lo spazio.
La scia è un pulviscolo di luce.
Seguila.
Holograms time
In every place
there are translucent places
through which one can pass
the time and space.
The trail is a crock of light.
Follow it.

Present to myself, picked up while browsing the pop-up music stall that's often on Middle Meadow Walk. Frankly you've got me a Thelonius Monk, but Monk with John Coltrane? Oh yes, having that. Exra little bonus when I got home and went to put it on the turntable, to discover the actual record was not only pressed in coloured vinyl but translucent too, so I improvised this quick shot of it with a small light behind the record.
Wait, Flickr doesn't have friends lists.
Crop of a larger shot, again slightly tinted - the sparkles are natural, though :D.
These mushrooms were positioned on a tree branch so I could catch the afternoon sunlight shining through. I think they are (Auricularia auricula-judae.) Common names are tree ear, black fungus, cloud ear, Jew's ear, Judas's ear, or tree jelly fish. Hopefully, one of our resident mycologists will verify or correct me.
