Sunday Post

Hey everyone, hope the weekend's been treating you well.
Bunch of pictures this week, plus a music video treat!
Oh, I'm hopefully going to put a post up tomorrow or tuesday - I've been filling up a topical folder here and there so I'll be sticking those up soon :)



















For those of you unfamiliar with Oli Schroer (probably an unfortunately high number), he was a fiddler/teacher/magical man who died from leukemia just a couple years ago. Several people I know knew him very well - like I said, he was a teacher for people of all ages, and just had a way of touching people deep inside. Hell, I never even met the man (I didn't even know about him until after he'd died) and he gives me butterflies and a big smile. In particular, the last music he wrote before his death is just the most... "deep" music I've heard. I can't think of how to describe the feeling it gives me, there's just something more "mystical" or whatever about the way his last music was put together. You listen to it, and you know you're listening to music he wrote because he knew he was going to die very soon, and there's no bitterness or regret or anything like that in the music. Here is a man who is completely welcoming and unafraid of his own death. It's just.... I can't word it how I'd really like. You decide for yourself.
