Ebony And Ivory (And Crimson As Well)

It Looks A Trifle Off-Key, Maestro

I'm always game for a photography challenge, so I'd like to bring Katney's Kaboodle to your attention. Her new theme is "Odd Shots on Monday" and since it's already Monday morning here in Australia, here's my first Odd Shot. I took this in a restaurant about six months ago, while the members of a jazz quartet were taking a break.

I was actually shooting a double bass that was more than a century old when I noticed that three of the keys on this keyboard looked crimson. Don't worry, it's not a radical new musical movement. No had anyone daubed the keys with trifle. Their black surface was simply reflecting some overhead lighting. There was no note of discord. It was just a trifling matter.
