Overlapping reflections

While it’s not his fault because he didn’t know, I blame M. Simon for inspiring this post, which started innocently with a pleasantly haunted photo taken by me inside a former church:

It was when I started to see reflections that I realized my initial effort to photograph what I thought I was photographing had failed. But the reflections seem to lead into something else, so just I stayed with the camera and let them.
I’m honestly not sure what I was trying to photograph, but that’s how it came out. It’s ethereal, although somewhat “grounded” by the reflections of my hands holding the camera under the peculiar “ball” image. I have no idea how it happened, but it pleased me enough to put it on the blog.
M. Simon’s earlier post reminded me of the Grateful Dead, and I thought of “The Eleven.” Like “Uncle John’s Band,” it has an unusual time signature.

As its name suggests, this is in 11/8 time, mostly played as three beats of three followed by a beat of two – but with all sorts of variations played against each other.

As in the case of the picture, there’s lots of overlapping.

This gem from 1968 is classic unadulterated acid rock at its best (if you’re impatient, “The Eleven” starts at 3:17).
Outside in the yard, a head seemed to scream as the ivy league closed in:
