When music paints a picture...

Everyone has something that takes their breath away...  For me?  It's definitely music.

There is nothing like one of those songs that forces you to close your eyes and breathe it in - one of those fill-every-crevasse-in-your-soul kind of tunes.  

Don't try and pretend you don't understand what I mean - it's the same feeling that makes you wish your life had a soundtrack!

Some musicians are super snobby about it (in the "Classical is the only REAL music" kind of way...) but I am happy to report I do not segregate...

Anyway!!  It's not really a surprise that one of my favorite images is this one:
Picture
(Now hanging in my kitchen) this is a poster of the cathedral in Köln, Germany, by Geoffry Wharton.  (Cologne, Germany for those of you playing the [American] home game...)

I actually got the poster in Germany (literally, on the street next to the cathedral) when I was there wayyyyy back in high school.  (Yikes!  Was that really 8 years ago??)

Here's a photo of the front of the cathedral from here:

Geoffry did a pretty darn good job didn't he??

The best part about his rendering?

It's made entirely of music!!  Its an actual full-orchestra composition!!!  (Although I have no idea if anyone has ever played it or if it would even sound remotely pretty... but I sure love the look of it!)

Just love it....

Anyone else have some music-inspired artwork?  Or want to help me make some?  There's a little empty wall around my piano that could use some flair... ;)
