5. Oh MAN!!!!

GORGEOUS!!!

Too bad we can't get those damn wires out of the way and plant trees around it to frame it properly!

Dear God that's wonderful!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. Yeah, all those wires need to be underground.

[calimary]

18. There is that.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. All those wires and I still can't hear it!

Bet it looks terrible from my reading glasses focal distance.

[Tommymac]

16. Not sure I agree, those wires give the photo urban energy and space & set a Coltrane mood imo.

But your way would certainly be lovely too!

[calimary]

19. There is that, as well!

There is definitely urban energy and an urban flavor to it. I hadn't been looking at it as metaphorically as your perspective would invite.

Add some Coltrane and pretty much anything's gonna work at least a little bit better.

9. perfect image..

of Coltrane. I had never heard of him until the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" in 1995 (which I was in, by the way).

20. Were you, now.

My husband and I went to see Mr. Holland's Opus in the theater in San Marcos, Texas. In the dark and with the movie drawing us in, we were not aware of the audience.

When we left the theater, I saw a number of folks come out in wheelchairs or otherwise assisted and quickly realized that we'd gotten to watch the movie with people with intellectual and communication disabilities. Their eyes! Just shining with happiness and emotion at the experience of the story of the man to whom music was his life and the conflicted emotions and relationship he had with his deaf son. Seeing their joy magnified my own to the nth degree.

To this day, that was the single most memorable movie experience I ever had and the memory takes me instantly back to that intense joy I shared with them then.

Thank you for your part in wonderfully empathetic story-telling! The most humane of occupations, the humanities, helping us to open up and see one another.

23. Well, okay, I was just an extra..

along with a few hundred other people. Filmed in Portland Oregon, my home town, at Grant high school, my wife's alma mater. We were honored to be in it; she had a short part as a teacher walking into the school while talking on a cell phone. I was in the scene in the conference room with Bill Macy, Jay Thomas, Elizabeth Boyd and Richard Dreyfuss, where the budget cuts were discussed, There were about ten of us extras sitting around the conference table as teachers.

Great fun. They did three or four takes, and the actors did each one with a little different nuance.

Thanks for the chance for a trip down memory lane; film was actually made in 1993.
