Pictures at an Exhibition - the photography thread

I stand corrected and should know better as I have the Manticore box set version and the original version which was indeed live.  The live version I was referring to was the 1979 Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert condensed version with an orchestra.

Maui sunset on honeymoon, 2002.

And some original artwork:

I did the cloud painting as a teen, inspired by sunrises I had seen on the morning bus rides into school, and of course the artwork of Roger Dean. .
The second one is an ink on board I made from a Polaroid photograph that was photocopied onto a transparency, projected overhead on the board, traced off, and finished off by hand with ink and some airbrushed ink.

What could be better than pictures of pictures that aren't really pictures?

I now return you to your normal pictures at an exhibition thread.

But wait, before I do, which version is your favorite?

The original Mussorgsky piano?
The orchestrated?
ELPs first version?
ELP's live version?

All your answers must be phrased in the form of a photograph.

In the southern part of Minas Gerais, a Brasilian state, we found these landscapes trimmed by an empty paved road.

Wonderful pictures people. I am particularly interested in the ones of the countries that aren't America. I guess I've gained an obsession over the past few months of the world beyond my sheltered life where I was raised. Even though you can see similar scenes in this country, just knowing it's from a place further away adds to the mystery.

Nice ones by the way, Jesse - I'm looking forward to doing some snapping this summer 


Just took this one as I was getting some tea - using my new toys, of course.

Less Vancouver, more Finland, Jesse. 

Oh I see.

I saw a photo of Mike the other day and he looked like you.  It scared me.

You and Mike should meet up and take some more photos of Vancouver. 

wow , some great pics guys!

As Jim knows I've been thinking about getting a grown up camera for ages, and I finally plumped for a Nikon D60  just around Chrimbo time. (thanks Santa!) 
Utterly befuddled by all the knobs and buttons and eager to wean myself off the "auto" function I've just started a photography course which is great fun! My pics are getting better already, despite having a looooong way to go with them. Here are a couple fo pics I did for last weeks assignment. (go gentle on me!)

These were all taken at the Hartland Point Hill CLimb last Sunday, first HC of the season.
