Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique

For this week’s photo challenge UNIQUE I’ve chosen a shot featuring the maybe only conductor in the world, who tried to manipulate fishes so much, that they could be useful in a choir … P.S.: I’m a fish who had the courage to escape many manipulations 🙂

P.S.: sometimes a single fish decides to ignore the manipulation, turns around and leaves the choir – and sometimes all the other fishes turn around and swim down the river – we call it “swarm Intelligence” – and the internet in many countries supported clever individuals to overcome the horizons of an oppressing local dictatorship …

  1. I definitely think he is the only director in the world to take on the fishes so musically. A very unique person for sure! Now, if only I had a seat next to the river. 🙂

  2. This is definitely a great choice… so, was it difficult to ‘escape from your fishery manipulations?’:o Thanks for the laugh!

      but I fear, we leave the world step by step, parts of our body or brain getting more and more dysfunctional …

  3. Well, there are various kinds of manipulations!!!! A conductor is not that bad a …”manipulator”!!!! Maybe the fish were happy hearing their voices together!

      • That’s true… this is one of the good things that has cyberspace. one can see it also in the treatmet of news: thanks to people that roles the paper of journalist 2.0 with their cells, we can see really what is happening versus TV news (include in democratic countries).

          versus TV news, printed magazines,
          – we can produce a personal point of view –
          born 1945, I waited for this at least 40
          years of my life – it was a hard work,
          to get some of my opinions published
          [influenced by philosophy:
          Adorno, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche etc.]
          – now it’s not a problem anymore …
