Song of the Day

2010-12-04

…in a live version with an unusual intro (watch in HD on YouTube):

Well, it was the 40th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz Festival… Why song of the day? Because it was on 4 Dec 1971 that the Montreux casino burned down, an this was what inspired Deep Purple to write Smoke On The Water.

For this occasion, they also had neon letters and the famous chords on the wall beneath the marché couvert in 2006 – when I was there for the Freddie Mercury memorial day, my old small camera, however, wasn’t able to make a proper photo (which I unfortunately noticed too late):

Smoke On The Water

Someone got a better photo on Flickr.

The Winged Sun

2010-11-26

Sonne durch halbrundes Plissee

Light rings as proposal of marriage?
An attacking (and, for once, glowing) Shadow space ship?
A sun angel as guide into the 729th dimension?
An angel disguising as space ship?
A space ship hiding behind light rings?
Gravitational lensing from a black hole just generated by the LHC?
Another crack in the skin of the universe?
A revelation from the Akashic records about the trace of the true name of the Sun as danced eurythmically by the sun inhabitants, which shows the holistically optimal movements of shaking homeopathic remedies?

Or an effect caused by my circular window blind? No way, that’d be much too banal! :P
