My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?

Musical Clock with Spinet and Organ

Bidermann & Langenbucher

One of the most elaborate survivors of its kind from the early 17thC. Three airs by Hans Leo Hassler. Because the cylinder & pins survive this plays 17thC music as actually heard.

Amazing
