Darla, Martha and Tom W are on a break. Come back as soon as you are able my friends.
How could I think about sound creation without remembering our Spring trip crossing the Alps with the Shaker Heights Band. I bring back fond memories of our trip to Europe with a few views of the band creating sound. I start with a town in the foothills of the Alps - Brixen, Italy. This horn was creating a lot of sound as I crept in for the shot.
One of my favorite places was Innsbruck, Austria - How I love the tuba. I stood on my head for the shot. Just kidding, but that is me in the yellow shirt.
So I chose a header of the band playing at Innsbruck in the Alps. I love the view from the plaza near the Golden Roof.

I had an idea you would go Brass Band Tom, Really enjoyed going tru your post, I really could hear these sounds in my head, also from a place that I too had visited, which brought back memories.
What a wonderful trip that was for you folks, thanks for the revisit. That is a lot of sound in that header picture! The brass band, the church bells, and wait, wait, I hear it, yep, it's yodeling in the mountain tops!
I can hear the sound bouncing off those awesome Alps.
I was thinking, too, of how the band sound would echo from the Alps. I remember being in the mountains of NH during a thunderstorm. It was awesome hearing the echoing of the thunder as it rolled off the mountains. I would think the band sound would be much the same in the Alps.
Love your photos, I got a new blog up. Have a good week.

All of these are wonderful pictures for sound creation. You chose a good one for your header.
Can't beat a bit of oompah. Especially with the beer flowing!
Hi Tom,
That header photo is awesome! I enjoyed your other Austria photos, too. What a fun trip that sounds like! I'm behind in blogging as usual. I see you are taking a break from being one of the leaders of SkyWatch. I hope all is well with you and your family.
That was a reat tip you had! And a marvelous experience for those young musicians! I love the reflection on the horn.
Great pics, Tom!
I can only imagine how beautiful that place is in person.
By the way, I'm curious....What instrument do you play??
Oh, how wonderful!!
My father was from Austria, so those photos were very special to me!!
It's my first visit to your blog and I'm really enjoying it!
Thanks for sharing,

What marvellous shots - lovely shiny brass instruments raised up to those magnificent snowy mountains.
That is the perfect photo for your new header competition!!! I hear it loud and clear. ~karen
That was a trip of a lifetime-neat to see some more from it. Sometimes I think you stand on your head-cause you always get the best photos : )
Wonderful photos! I love brass bands.
