The King Crimson Series: The Sheltering Sky
The second in a series of images created for the two-person challenge put to me by Paul B0udreau. We're calling our challenge "The King Crimson Series - Frame by Frame" after one of the band's songs on their seminal 1981 album "Discipline".
"The Sheltering Sky" is the title of Paul Bowles' classic novel about the ultimate clash and destruction of two foolish young Americans colliding horribly with Arabic culture in Northern Africa. It was the inspiration for his haunting instrumental piece.
My inspiration here was the musical piece although I've read and love the Bowles novel.
Depicted is the main campus building of OCAD University, an esteemed Art School with a long and colourful history. When I went there it was simply called "The Ontario College of Art" ( OCA ). Eventually it became the "Ontario College of Art and Design University". Shown is the Rosalie Sharp pavilion, a fantastic, signature piece of Toronto architecture. It's held up by a series of stylized giant "pencils".

Music Link: "The Sheltering Sky" - King Crimson, from their album "Discipline". This is a band that doesn't have a lot of big, corporate music business money behind it so it's hard to find super HD versions of their work or perfectly recorded videos. There are also lots of convoluted copyright and ownership issues that keep studio versions of their pieces from the internet. However, this a wonderful 1982 live performance of the piece if one is really interested the "Discipline album is well worth hunting down.
