♯..♪♫...5 Gold Rings ...♪♫

...Five Gold Rings.....OK they aren't Gold...they are brass, but the title, the monochrome conversion and the serious letterbox format makes for quite a nice seasonal shot as the brass band plays ..."If Every Day Was Christmas Day"...uh uh :)

Struggling bad time to do any midweek shots, so here's another weekend shot for you.

Thank you for all your comments and support.

I LOVE this! How clever of you, Phil, to spot the perfection of this shot for the traditional song of Christmas. I'd like to see it in color too, to see the gold rings really shine

[Phil Howcroft]

@allie912 thanks allison :)...the colour image wasn't quite golden, more silver gold ...in the UK we have silver brass bands and brass bands ....very complex the world of brass bands :)

[Sue Wilde]

Such a clever interpretation Phil and a terrific shot as well.

[Judith Greenwood]

Can't beat a brass band at Christmas but if every day was Christmas Day there would be an awful lot of washing up...

[Pat Knowles]

Perfect title...you are on the ball tonight Phil! A beautiful letter box too & a perfect Christmas band.

[Allison Williams]

@phil_howcroft Who knew! ; )

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat thanks pat :) ......i only thought of the title at the last minute :)

@judithg thanks judith ...brass bands do sound lovely ....I am a bit biased though because both my daughter played the trumpet :)

@swilde thanks sue , glad you approve

[Judith Johnson]

Me too - struggling that is. This is great Phil, lovely shine.

[Kerri]
