Gorgeous Photos From the Inside of Instruments



That's one heck of a way to advertise your local orchestra. The creations were created by art director Bjoern Ewers to show the true beauty of the instruments lies on the inside.

Hey, the exteriors of string instruments are very nice tp look at, too. Yes, the interiors photograph well. But the real beauty, I would say, lies in the sound that is produced by a skillful musician playing the instruments. :)

When I first saw this photo, I thought it was an architectural photo of a room with ornate skylights and a ceiling beam. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if an architectural firm would design a lobby or space for a music school or performance hall that looks exactly like this, to see how many people would recognize the visual pun? I can imagine "coming attractions" posters on the curved walls with track lighting shining on them.

So, in their version of the US, there is no CDC, no WHO, no federal government, no local government, no citizen's militia springing up out of nowhere, and no individuals defending themselves to slow the spread of the disease. Everyone in this world is either infected or a potential target. No roads get closed, no cities become quarantine zones where no one gets in or out....

Any of those things by themselves would help slow the spread. All of them together would likely stop it in its tracks before it got much out of one city, no matter where it starts in the US. In a third world country I could see it spreading slightly faster than in a first world country, but even then you have citizen militias and such that will stamp that *$@$ out as fast as it starts in even the most rural villages.

Almost any starting point I can imagine that starts with a zombie or two ends with a group of frightened people beating the unlife out of that thing with anything at hand (shovels, sticks, w/e) until there's no more threat. Even if we suppose 90% of people run in fear or freeze, the 10% will fight back and stop it with brooms and mops if necessary.

The one scenario I can come up with where most of those things I mentioned are made less effective is a terrorist-style mass-seeding of the virus at hundreds or thousands of geologically separate locations across the globe simultaneously. Make every country deal with a ton of separate outbreaks simultaneously and maybe the virus would have a chance to get a foothold somewhere before it got stamped out. Even then, each area would be dealt with eventually, so that the worst case scenario might get 50% of the population before it was stopped.

Honestly, the mobile game Plague Inc. does a better job of simulating a zombie apocalypse with their zombie virus DLC, and that's with the virus being controlled by a vindictive god who's specifically trying to infect everyone and can tactically react to whatever the world tries to do to stop it. And with all of that in it's favor, the infection is typically stopped rather quickly if the god in control doesn't do things just right.
