Obscured by Bokeh

Obscured by Bokeh

Someone commented on Rajini Rao  post about a Syd Barrett video http://goo.gl/u2W5l so it popped into my notifications.

I figured it’s time to share some Pink Floyd. Then I thought I should find something obscure. Although I ♥ all things Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon can be shared only so many times. Ditto for The Wall. Then I thought, I haven’t listened to Obscured by Clouds in a long time.

So here is Childhood’s End on Obscured by Clouds. Obscured by Clouds was Pink Floyd’s soundtrack for the French film La Vallée, which is about a woman who goes on a search of a mysterious hidden valley in the bush of New Guinea. The album was released in 1972 and reached number 1 in France, 6 in the UK, and 46 in the US :(. The album cover, which I sadly miss with CDs and DVDs, is a perfect example of Bokeh (intentional blur, out of focus, photography).

Another interesting tidbit, check out the other users of the EMS VCS3 synthesizer, which was used on Obscured by Clouds.

Gordon and the bean stalk

Gordon and the bean stalk

Hey gardening friends, do you know what this is (the first 4 pics)? It’s a tall plant with tiny white flowers that turn into the “fruit” below. Those turn into dark purple/black berries. The birds go bonkers for them and that’s how my friend Gordon, thinks that they got into his backyard in the first place. You can see the stems are quite substantial. These were all taken with my Droid Incredible using Camera360 Ultimate. If the filters are throwing you off, I can upload the original pics too.
