Taken yesterday evening after attending a concert by the Society of Strange and Ancient Instruments (yes, really). This was the view high up in Swaledale.
For Brian’s Last on the Card, which invites us to post our last photo of the month, whether good, bad, or indifferent, without comment. I can’t do the ‘without comment’ bit.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
What a fantastic evening sight, Margaret! Hope it was a good concert

It was certainly interesting. The Trumpet Marine turns out to be a stringed instrument that sounds exactly like a trumpet. I kid you not.

Beautiful! Is there to be a post about the concert? (She asks hopefully.)

Sadly not I think Sandra. It would mean little without photos. There were a variety of old instruments apart from the extraordinary trumpet marine, which sounds indeed like a trumpet. And a dancer/narrator dressed in the 18th century manner. It was fun and instructive too.

Yes, I see the problem. Glad you enjoyed it though. Good to see you’re getting out and about again. (As are we! A few days away looming, can’t wait!)

A beautiful photo that (to me) fits with strange and ancient instruments. Did you enjoy the concert?

We did. As much for its strangeness as its musicality.

Thank you for the link to the society’s website. I like this definition: “Voice – The most strange and ancient instrument of all.” The Trumpet Marine sounds amazing.
