I'm forever lagging behind with my photos -- life just passes too quickly. Ah well, ... -- spring is definitely in the air here, after a day or so of rain. Of course the first night with overcast sky had to co-incide with the complete lunar eclipse that would otherwise have been visible here. Bummer!
Here are some impressions from spending a moment recently watching and listening to a group of four Mongolian musicians. I was especially fascinated by their instruments.
Ubiquitous trainers and jeans contrast with baroque (traditional?) floral patterns.
I had listened to music from Mongolia only the night before and was fascinated with descriptions of instruments just like these. Serendipitous coincidence!And here, a sunset captured a few days later from the top end of the Kornhausbrücke. Cheerio!

Great pictures. Did they do any throat singing. Its a weird bi-tonal noise which sounds both remarkable and impossible.
Thanks for the compliment. Yes, in fact their voices, i.e. the unique way of chanting was what attracted me in the first place. We have a Swiss vocalist, Christian Zehnder, who has learnt to sing in this way, too. I'd have to go to a desert island to dare trying to produce those sounds. ;)
