Speaking of Desert Blues...

Guitar virtuoso Mdou Moctar gets political after home country experiences coup

This was a surprise, and joy to see last night, on our PBS (public/educational) TV News Hour. Half listening to news headlines, this story came on and instantly caught my ear, and the rest of me followed. An amazing portrait of a musical prodigy with a unique talent and also a desire to share his perspective, on politics, guitar legends and life, all part of the same ocean....

Fascinating individual, talent, perspective....

Now for something different..

Central Park

Sunday in the Park - Pt 2 - A serene Erhu Concert, in Bethesda Arcade, Central Park (NYC)

Heavenly #erhu #music in Central Park - Part 2

My 1st goal - aside from exercise & enjoying a beautiful Sunday in the Park- was to inaugurate & test a new camera.
โœ”๏ธŽ
A 2nd goal was to get some more/better images of the famous and beautiful ceiling.

Designed by Jacob Wrey Mould and created in the 1860s, the Arcade features a stunning tiled ceiling with more than 15,000 colorful, patterned encaustic tiles from Englandโ€™s famous Minton Tile Company. These elaborate tiles were originally used on the floors of European cathedrals. Bethesda Arcade is the only place in the world where these special tiles are used for a ceiling! [cenralpark.com]

Video1 was grabbed with an iPhone, which I must say did a nice job. This 2nd one, after scrambling to set up the new camera, is in true 4K and (for me) 'feature length' - long compared to my nature snippets. Be sure, if viewing on hi-res-big/bright screen, to set the YT player (gear at bottom of picture) to 4K, if it didn't choose it with the 'auto-set'). It makes a difference in "being there", as the mix of serene music and people and pets strolling by and up/down the Bethesda Terrace stairs... Serene. And I guess the camera works ok.
Sorry for the shake - hand-held and trying to realistically 'look around' and also get some screen-grab-quality images of the tiles.]

Enjoy!
