The gray pipe should be an early wind instrument, bone, with old carvings. The printing on the reddish pipes dispel that fancy quickly, yet there still is somewhat of a tug in that direction. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that this looks better than it should, given the real subject.

Thanks, Bob. I've been wondering what was at the back of my mind when I noticed this.

.... yes ...! J'aime ce genre de sujet ...!

Thanks, Robert.

I see the black/grey pipe breaking away from the others.................trying to assert it's individualism?

I can see that, too, Keith. No idea what I was thinking at the time, though.

Thre's always one that wants to be different! :-)

But in the end, George, they will all end up on the brown side.

Outstanding POV!

Thanks, William.

Very appealing and seemingly very simple.
But either you "had" it in your mind, or not.
Excellent.

Thanks, José. As I mentioned to Bob, I don't really know what was in my mind at the time. It will probably turn out to have been a mis-remembered painting, as usual.
