Switzerland had the best public transport, the cleanest pavements and was generally very organized. Amazed me they still had phonebooths in use. Haven't seen this in a really long time. Maybe that is why I find this photo interesting. 20 Years ago this would have been a very common sight. Nowadays you'll have to go to Switzerland to see this.
The bird and nest are inspired by Hunter's recent post with a similar setup.
Lebensraum farm, Ostland, 1960.
An E79 rolls down a country road, informing selected members of Wehrbauer communities in the East that they have been chosen for foreign deployment. The harvest is upon them, and the Wehrbauers work to feed their nation and their families.
This MOC shows what I think part of a farm built in the desired Lebensraum may have looked like. We always hear about what the Nazis wanted to do and how they planed to do it, but I wanted to explore that aesthetic and the world that could have been. This is another explanation of alternate history.
The Lebensraum farm is supposed to be in conquered land not too far east of East Prussia. The world is close to what Hitler envisioned- all of Europe has either been conquered, is a puppet state, or is a close ally. Crops grown in Eastern Germany-proper (now expanding all the way to present day central Poland and East Prussia as it was know) and the Eastern German territories (where this farm is) feed the massive German war machine. Germany still fights in Africa, the middle east, North America and parts of Asia. These settlements are home to the Wehrbauers, as I have called them. Wehrbauer was a term from the middle ages referring to peasant soldiers. In this case, they are not so much peasants as just farmers. They are armed to defend The eastern provinces from raids or attack by the peoples of Asia and the east.
I did quite a bit of research thinking about this, and I will put some links in here in case anyone wants to learn a little about this topic.
This is strictly non political. I am fascinated by the German culture the Nazis praised and tried to implement of their own, mostly because I am quite fond of classicism. I find Nazi weapons, vehicles, uniforms, architecture, and art to be beautiful. What I do not agree with is mass genocide. Conquest and cultural change is one thing, but I do not support in any way the Shoa. Please keep that in mind before you say anything stupid.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication
Communication is the process whereby information is imparted by a sender to a receiver via a medium.
There are auditory means, such as speaking, singing and sometimes tone of voice, and nonverbal, physical means, such as body language, sign language, paralanguage, touch, eye contact, or the use of writing.
Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding.
This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur.
Communication is a learned skill. We learn basic communication skills by observing other people and modeling our behaviors based on what we see. We also are taught some communication skills directly through education, and by practicing those skills and having them evaluated.

So I accidentally deleted the last several of my photographs from Flickr. I swear, technology and I are just not getting along lately. Sigh.
A tap on the window whilst I was washing up, a neighbourly good morning just as though she was popping in for coffee and gossip.
Camera grabbed so image on settings from previous night but sill remember the moment, way back in 2009.
Taken at The African Game Lodge, Montagu, Western Cape.
To start 2015 off right, we visited Grapevine Canyon and found one of the densest collections of petroglyphs we've seen.
The artwork continued to the top of the cliffs on both sides of the canyon mouth, around the corners on the outside, and well up into the canyon.
