The Sound Of Silence
HDR image of a Steinway Piano at a friends’ home. She’s quite an accomplished artist herself, she painted the images behind the piano in Tuscany, Italy. It is almost a shame that this instument has not been played in years. This is a re-post of my Silent Night image, this one without the black border. I had taken this to work one day, matted and framed and sold three copies of it that day …..
Taken with Nikon D200 and Tokina 12-24mm lens.
Have a look art this one as well, can you see the four ghosts in this shot?

So where did you get this pic from again ?
Andy Mueller replied
Rocketchook, took this picture at a friends house. Her house is in a real “exclusive” neighborhood, sometimes she just flies to Tuscany Italy to paint ….... must be nice .

Heaps of caracter in the house. Looks like it would be a good place to wander around , you wouldn’t know what you would find hiding in the corners .
