you suddenly realise that there's also other music being played here, staccato and perhaps even sharp, in addition to the the leaves' harmonious melody.  

Philip, thank you for your friendly comment and the careful look you took... I usually am in a kind of oblivious state of mind when taking this kind of photo--maybe it is the "flow" of which Csíkszentmihályi Mihály   spoke...  Your analogy to music seems appropriate and apt: I often find  pictures  in this thread that might easily be transformed  into a piece of music. So--it would be interesting if people feel a rhythm and a melody when taking up the camera and just transform this into a silver halide notation... Where do you see yourself in the catalogue ?  "Aus der neuen Welt"  lately ?? Or more something by Leonhard Bernstein ?   I myself switch moods as soon as I change between the Leica and the Hasselblad--and than the SWC is different from the 205...🤔

Yes, sure. I can feel you. Following Philipus suggestion of a fibonacci spiral starting somewhere in the mid right corner I feel a smooth, but not soft surface, coming to a ridge, a little bit of grime there, very satisfying to scratch along that ridge, before entering the planes of the smooth again, oops, a brink, oooops another brink, and then I somehow trail off to a rough, scratchy, uneven hollow sounding surface--eeeh, sending shivers along my spine.  Next round .I´ll have to give the Biblio relic a more  "simultaneous approach" with all my fingertips and a less selective reading... Verdict: A clear Buy ! A very balanced, multifaceted and entertaining piece of work which holds many a surprise for the  fingertips... a haptic treasure trove.. I will add to the happy haptic memories. 😏

Nice, Jean-Marc. Is this a vulture ? Too big for a pigeon.

oh, unmistakably Berlin. Poor but sexy. or so the Berliners say...  I love this kind of documentary street kind of photography. Next time they ask to be forked out, we´ll use the ZentralHanf (central hemp) as evidence #1... 😁. Anyway, great place to be... if you bought a flat 15 years ago... 😯

Always a great place to be, Klaus. This does not depend on owning a flat in Berlin... Thank you for your compliment!

Very nice Rog. I'm seeing a slightly squished Fibonacci spiral superimposed too. Perhaps I need to have my eyes (or my brain!) checked?

Astounding! I am going to be more careful with the games my subconscious plays because you are reading me brilliantly! Ha, ha. That circus left town already. "Slightly squished Fibonacci." This is indeed a marketing opportunity. I want my XL T-shirt in Kodak 18% gray.  "Slightly squished Fibonacci spiral superimposed!" I know they're not, but these should be the lyrics to a Morrison platinum album from the Doors. Round up the most likely suspects. Forget the usual. This is only the second time I can remember in my short LUF voyage that Fibonacci has been intoned. The first for me was two years ago in a response to Timothy Floyd's unforgettable photograph of a bicyclist and a tunnel. I say "unforgettable," but my memory is forever self-destructing, even before Derrida entertained the notion of deconstruction. And, the third time Fibonacci made my headlines, which was actually the first time, was in Darren Aronofsky's brilliant underground film, Pi.  Audacious. You'll recognize Mark Margolis in a Pi walk-on from his Hector Salamanca role in Breaking Bad.

Now, I am curious about the question of having your eyes or your brain checked. Hint. I just check mine at the door on the way in and forget about it. You see, one issue that keeps calling my attention is that "white divide of nothingness" between the verso and recto of the Biblio Relic diptych. I worked through 23 artist proofs before arriving at the final diptych, which still stands suspect in the lineup, but however much I tried, the white divide keeps calling attention to itself and creates a kind of three-dimensional simultaneous play of the verso/recto color fields. Perhaps it's the nothingness of the color fields, mainly playful cad yellow, that keeps calling for some resolution, something other than a thin wire for the balancing act. Yellow, though, has so many other colors, including caution and infection, not just sunny happiness, bla, bla.

There's the other issue of the margins and the very title, Biblio Relic. There's the trace palette of marbleized paper and the memory stain of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose; don't lick your finger to turn the page of a book.

Yes, I would have Dr. Klaus check my eyes, but the brain I checked at the door. Nonetheless, thank you for the Fibonacci theme.
