Yuja Wang's record 'Transformation' seems to have been the probable background of my vision of the helicopters at the Danube river.

Brahms = the river 'Donau' (Danube) itself
Scarlatti = the dustroads on either side of it (at least the one I walked)
Ravel = the Donauinsel, the long river in the middle of the river, a sort of Titanic formation
Stravinsky = the formation of 5 military helicopters that came up the river and passed me with an impressive roar

Interestingly, it was on this Danube island ('Ravel') that I took the 23 black-and-white photos.

Genesis 1:27 = 'God created man and woman in his own image': It seems that the hebrew word for 'image' in this context is 'tselem' = צלם = 'obscure, dark, shade' which could mean something resembling my thresholded black-and-white photos - which exhibit a mythological or archetypal story-telling which runs quite counter to the 'meaningfulness' of the original colour photos. See the reference in Davidson's dictionary to Psalm 68:15 which now is 68:14 - "it shone like snow in darkness".

That should make sense for Ravel's Titanic in the Danube - and could give rise to the helicopter vision.

See in particular the thresholded photo #1 wherein one clearly sees the helicopter - which is only vaguely visible in the original colour photo.

The 5 helicopters could of course be a recursive image of the 5 elements on the record: 2 Scarlattis (that would have been the 2 big ones) interlacing (with) the 3 smaller ones - one of the small ones could be the 'Stravinsky'.

Clearly this phenomenon could be related to the last line in my 'Der Dornenstrauch'. That is my german book on the diachrony of language.

'It shone like snow in darkness' would also be relevant to the german book following immediately after this - on the synchrony of language - that is my SNEEFT COEIL. As usual I point to this 'white with black on' in Tiepolo's 'Education of the virgin' (source) - the synchrony of the question 'what does it mean' - that black on the white?

Does photo #1 show 5 girls (perhaps recursively contained in one military 'helicopter') or is it 5 gulls in a martian formation?

12 may 2024: See Esenin's "Snowstom crying like a romany violin" - the romany violin shone or sounded like snow in darkness - when she was angry she smiled. This seems to be the solution to the problem of the roman god Mars who turned into the christian God in Rome, the catholic God. It was this which could have been the rocket fuel for Hitler's nazism when they got good enough photos of Mars to understand that their fantasies had seen what telescopes could not see - and hence the roman catholicism was turned into Hitler's martial politics.
