I beat ya to it. I played it on the lap steel. Not much to it. Didn't do anything for me.

The first thing I thought of was trying to play it on my violin. (the other one) I may have to do some reckless transposition and perhaps a bit of improv..

There were 4 shots. I rarely just take one. I chose the "Norwegian Wood" (This Bird has Flown) version. Here's a more symmetrical version. I prefer the Norwegian Wood: While this one has some interesting compositional elements (right-left triangular shape bisected by the 7-tone staff with the half-note (they're half notes cuz they have a tail) birds and the Borg-like mass of the traffic light which I left in the crop intentionally for balance) (I otta try playing that. Maybe Jared or Rick can play it. They read music better than I do.) I prefer the Flown Bird version over this one because, like it did with you, Mary, it caught my eye immediately. I believe that makes it a more interesting photo. When I get thru with some medical photography (strange goins on) I'll re-crop both of them and remove the Borg cube to see what it looks like. We can shoot "crops" all night...except I wanna watch the rest of the Grand Prix. r On 11/14/2010 4:03 PM, Mary McCarthy wrote:It's that one that just HAD to fly. Bless his little heart. Oh, and I found a pic of Sprint's engine hanging in mid air with the generator still attached. Could be better at showing the brackets but its a pic. It was in a very special place. MaryHowever, I did get a shot today with my baby Panasonic in monochrome mode: "Punctuated Birds on a Power Line." It wouldn't have mattered if it was a color exposure...the sky's the same hue. r
