NoStringsAttached ...

...

Not as simple as most of your photos though it's simple in the colors. Lines a cross and lines up and down. I think you have just chosen the right way to do this. It's really taking me in and it's hard to take my eyes of it. It's not a set up but it's one of your best stills. Viewed large the details are great too.

 

Like a puppet on a string I can't resist this one.

Ken I thought of Carl Root when I saw this. Very nice detail and interesting composition. Very Good - Sean

Great detail and lines. I'm not even sure what this is, but it's very interesting to view.

Hi Ken.....great detail.. good photo... is it a dulcimer?...looks similar to some instruments I saw and heard this morning at the Syrup Soppin Festival in Loachapoka, Al... lots for the eye to see...interesting patterns...

Aren't there always "strings attached"? Just sayin'. Interesting lines...definitely looks musical, but other than that I have no idea. Looks a little dusty...hasn't been played in a while?

And seen a better day...well, that about says it for me as well, but can still carry a tune...in the shower...well...

Enthralling ..I wonder how long or how intensely you pondered the composition to keep us a captive audience.

Everyone is guessing so I will to..zither/autoharp . nice comp! vallery b

This is cool, too!

Hi Bente - yes it is in one of the local alleys - so I am at the mercy of the time of day. I've been shooting this for awhile - never quite satisfied with the light when the dog and I passed by. Thank you for sharing all that - jaaa ...

 

Hi Sean - I'm embarassed to admit he crossed my mind too - smile .....

 

Kim I appreciate your visits as always - thank you - Sean guessed it when he mentioned Carl = Piano ...

 

Roxy I like your spin on it - very much - coffee at 6am? - it's a date ! (-;

 

Sheryl please - there is no such thing as a 'Syrup Soppin Festival in Loachapoka, Al.' - Loachapoka ?! ........ (-;

 

Hey Captain - nooo hasn't been played in awhile - getting rusty methinks - )-; .... Nice to see you!

 

Quietly closes the bathroom door on Roger singing in the shower - locks it - whistles and walks away - smilesoutloud ...

 

Hi Leann - well yes, I have several shots of it with different compositions and I pondered it quite awhile yes ....... I'll go back soon and take an overall shot of the location. Glad to see you - thanks for stopping - (-;

 

Hi Vallery! - and I think zithers are only used at Syrup Soppin' Festivals - methinks - smile ...

 

Hello Mr.kay - always a pleasure to have you stop by - thank you !

 

Hello Deb - it made me think too - nice to see you - thanks (-;

tension, strength, precision... natural and manmade, slight imperfections, everyone has some. Can she still do chopsticks?

Simply very touching composition, with the crossing lines of strings, which are looking tense vs.the right part that tells the story of the touching time. beauti-full Ken.

This is really good, Ken. I like the composition and texture. The subtle color is nice too! Well done.

A great abstract, Ken! I like the multiple levels. . . excellent composition with great texture and balance. . .

(they way I feel at times) bass strings over the others...never been to a syrup soppin' ...don't live in alabama...very nice straight line composition, though..

...if you like sweet potatoe biscuts with cane syrup, then "syrup soppin day" in "Loachapoka" is the place to be...it really is a place ( me smiling...), a small, small dot on the map...if you take your eyes off the road to look down to adjust your radio on your car's dashboard, you may pass it, ha......Loachapoka was originally inhabited by the Creek Indians and the name means "turtle killing place"... "no strings attached" to ramble around and enjoy the music, crafts and people... (...and we will try to get "Vallery B" from Georgia to join us next year...I hear some people were asking about her) :-)

 

again, Wonderful photo Ken..... amazing talent you are ! :-)

Hi Bekster - astute observations - melikes ....... Chopsticks? - well I had Dylan with me and she was strumming the strings with a stick - (-;

 

Pnina I very much appreciate you sharing - always ... (-;

 

Chris I've missed you - hope all is well and you'll stick around awhile ... !

 

Hi Donna - thank you very much for stopping by ... nice to see you !

 

Attached a different shot for reference - I'll try to shoot the location next time I pass ...

Vallery - yeahhh I was messin' with ya - trying to loosen your strings a tad - (-; ..

 

Sheryl - "...if you like sweet potatoe biscuts with cane syrup" .......... Pondering the hell out of that one! - well maybe just a taste. Loves history - thanks for the low-down on Pokawhatchacallit ...... And yes, it sounds like Val needs a road trip - maybe a seminar or something - (-; ...

We're working on it (me smiles and ponders, too)..Val and I are headed down the road really soon... and I like it when you ponder :-) ... I'll catch up with you later, Cowboy.... take care

Great abstract, Ken. It can't be strung, maybe, but can give delight watching this image.

Smile - nice to see you Paula - thank you for stopping by ... !

I have looked at this a few times, I really like the feeling that I get from this picture, thank you for sharing it with us!

Kellen thank you very much for taking the time - I was walking the dog this morning and took a shot of the location of this - I'll post it later - thank you again - (-; ...

Not My Neighbors House - Thank Gawd ...... (-;
