At the Speed of Sound of Music - a photo on Flickriver

After work on a rainy day I went to downtown San Jose, California. This is the Sonic Runway art display, located in front of the city hall. The Sonic Runway is a corridor of lights that visualizes the speed of sound. The installation consists of a series of concentric rings, each lined with over 200 LED lights that can be individually controlled. Live audio input is analyzed and converted into a variety of intricate patterns that race down the corridor at the speed of sound (about 343 m/sec). Standing at the front of the Runway, you can see the beats of the music rippling away from you.

I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photos from two RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
