Word of the day: "exaltation" - group noun for skylarks ("an exaltation of larks") evoking the heartlift these bright birds bring & the song that tumbles from them (Latin exaltāre, to raise up on high)

"A 100-seater amphitheatre built entirely out of unwanted pianos...": The Pianodrome will be constructed in the grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh this summer. It sounds - will sound - extraordinary.
