Very well spotted and photographed Mary. The photo could perhaps do with a bit more contrast, or even a mono treatment of some kind (not necessarily though), but otherwise, certainly very nice indeed. Kind regards, Neil.
Mary, me gusta como juegas con la música y la imágen. Pienso que eres una gran aficionada a la música. Me gusta cuando llego a tu blog, dejar de fondo la canción que has elegido, mientras miro tu fotografía. Gracias por ello !
Mary, I like as you play with music and the image. I think that you are a great fan to music. I like when I arrive at your blog, to leave of bottom the song that you have chosen, while I watch your photography. Thanks for that reason!
Mary MacADNski: Jose-Angel, I am so happy that you like the music. I love music very much and like to share it. I think it accompanies photographs very well.
Jose-A'ngel, soy tan feliz que usted tiene gusto de la música. Amo música mucho y tengo gusto de compartirla. Pienso que acompaña las fotografías muy bien.
Hi Mary - Sorry to be so late in my visits and to your comments
A very nice shot, a bit sad too ! I like very much this old organ. A bis as if the music is still in the air as a ghost !
Where I learnt about organs they called a contraption like this one a harmonium. The purists believe an organ must have pipes and mechanical coupling. But final interpretation resides in the language and application in a specific culture. Just sharing something I am aware of.
I have a brother-in-law who restores these organs. Long process with beautiful results.
Anyhow I consider this to be an excellent picture of decay that your title hints at. Type of thing that you can frame and hang in your music room.
Mary MacADNski: I grew up with one of these things and we used to call it a pump organ because of pedals. What interesting work (or hobby) for your brother-in-law!
