Music quiz points

Before we continue this afternoon (4 pm) with the 26th music quiz, I took the opportunity to present the current standings after the round lot of 25 quizzes – giving one point each for a correct answer (with multiple points when there were multiple quizzes in one, of course) and for crucial(!) assists a few partial points.

Here’s the Top 5:

The golden spire

At first, I only showed the first image and a little quiz “what do you think is special about this image?” Well, it’s a night photo as can be seen on the second image in original brightness, which has been slightly modified in brightness and contrast (with Corel PhotoPaint’s automatic function):

From the right, the moon is glaring into the photo, the elongated dots in the sky are stars which actually moved that far within the 20 seconds of exposure – and that there are brighter parts on which the moon doesn’t shine directly is also caused by the street lights, of course.

The “disturbances” seen in the bright spire in the following detail and the stripes that can best be seen in the bright image above are caused by the (black) mosquito net through which the photo was taken:
