No, it's not as bad as it sounds. It was just the two most picturesque things to pass by my lens today; very contrasting but pleasant in their own ways.
Being Saturday, well, it does seem I may have this sort of semi-permanent gig down at the local cafe. Gloria quite insists I continue there when I can...we had a return customer (Beatles fan) and a couple of the residents from the nursing home pop over to 'see what all the music was about'. (Londonderry Air for them, always a favourite for those of a certain age.)
Hehe, I can't help but chuckle. We're going full-on this Wednesday with a pizza night and 'live music'. "Bwhahaha"as we say on twitter but there you go.
The sun hits an interesting angle at a particular time of the afternoon and I have mentioned that I like to capture light (and shadow) in all its manifestations. Mid-song, I couldn't go past this refection of the sax on the music...just a nice afternoon.

The evening finished up with one of the most accomplished performances of the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 3 I have ever seen, a world premiere of Stanhope's Elegies and Dances and a special performance of a rare original manuscript of Sibelius's fifth symphony. Now *that* is music...
