Pipes anyone?

[Camino Chrissy]

I enjoy threads that have a themed topic of pictures, where members can join in with their personal favorites.
@David Tallan is in Salamanca and in looking through my own photos of its cathedral, I came across my own of its beautiful organ pipes. I am always enthralled in cathedrals when I look upward and see them in all their "glory". Interestingly, some larger cathedrals have more than just one.
Here are a few of mine and I'd enjoy seeing yours...

In order:
Salamanca, Segovia, Avila, Moissac, Cahors

Great thread Chris!
My picture is from last month in Santiago.



On my list is also a visit to the royal basilica of St - Maximin la Sainte-Baume. Built late 18th century and still has the original 2960 pipes.

Thanks, Sabine! They are all such incredible works of art and each one unique.

“O Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling”

My first picture was taken in Roncesvalles. I find it very unique how they integrated the pipes into the arquitecture:



The next one is from Nuestra Señora del Manzano, the church as you enter Castrojeriz:



The last one was taken in Santiago Cathedral. I tried to position myself so that the pipes of the opposite prospect would be captured as well:

Thank you, @Yoyo! I love your additional commentary.

 

[wynrich]

Thank you, Camino Chrissy. I've never paid much attention to the pipes, but now I think I will.

Also Santiago - we were fascinated by the horizontal pipes so one looking at them and one from below well as the view down the Cathedral. Taken in 2011

The church of Los Arcos ( C.frances), though only a parish church, has some pretty spectacular anthropomorphic organ pipes - with mouth, eyes, etc.

The organ pipes are one of the first things I notice in a church or cathedral.
These from the Cathedral in Santiago. I actually took the photo because of all the cherubs, who I hadn't noticed so much before the restoration. Now they look like they're jumping out from between the pipes like ants pouring out from cracks in a wall.

I'd enjoy seeing yours...

Mine are via google trekker panos and here is one looking east and up at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral with alter and botofumerio in the middle, saved as a windows background

Los Arcos, Camino Francés. The church is overwhelming, wall to wall baroque.

You seem to be confused about "photos" vs "works" -are you familiar with the leading case of Feist?

I uploaded a WORK and "just in case" I retained a copyright notation to google but google does not bother itself with such trivial matters.

The gravamen of Feist was IMHO this passage:

"This principle, known as the idea/expression or fact/expression dichotomy, applies to all works of authorship. As applied to a factual compilation, assuming the absence of original written expression, only the compiler's selection and arrangement may be protected; the raw facts may be copied at will. This result is neither unfair nor unfortunate. It is the means by which copyright advances the progress of science and art."

Certainly a P&S photo can attract attention, particularly if the owner of a "scene" was not asked permission.

I uploaded a WORK

I would argue that a photo is a work, and I think there is a difference between a photo and an entry in a telephone directory.

I think it is pretty clear what @Camino Chrissy was inviting us to do: upload photos we had taken ourselves. So it isn´t a question of copyright. Incidentally, the passage you quote would not work as a defence against plagiarism in an academic article where raw facts may certainly not be copied at will. Anyway, let´s agree to differ on this one.

Yes, and I was a bit confused by @Camo's photo, but appreciate that a mod clarified the rule.

Wow, this is the first time that I hear about this and see this! I think that we popped into the Los Arcos church but seeing that it was all Baroque I don't think that we spent much time there. Or maybe we did not even enter. I regret it now ... thanks for this. How unusual!

This was also one of my "missed regrets". In googling the church with its baroque interior, I saw no photo of those pipes, but I didn't dig deep like you often do.

I thought this thread was going in a very different direction when pipes were mentioned

I had to look up this word as I'd never heard it before. It's perfect for describing those pipes...now if I can only remember it.

I passed these pipes today in the Desfiladero de Despeñaperros on the Camino Mozárabe por Ciudad Real. Known as the Cerro de Los Órganos, and declared a Monumento Natural in 2001.

Alan, you are a wealth of interesting facts on your less traveled Caminos, and this is one of them, even though it has nothing to do with being built by human hands.
