Restaurant Counter. San Francisco, California. December 5, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A work counter in a San Francisco restaurant
In early December we took a couple of days off and stayed in San Francisco. Usually we would simply drive there and back or take the train, but we had concerts to attend on two nights in a row and the thought of doing that drive up (in rush hour traffic) and back (at around midnight) twice in a row was enough to persuade us to simply find a place to stay. Of course this meant we had a lot more time to wander around the City with cameras and to more opportunities to grab a meal at some new place. This restaurant is very close to a location where we frequently attend concerts, but it was the first time we tried it. It is a casual place, but that was just right this time.
Typically one might not want to be this close to the food preparation areas (and the entrance to the kitchen) but in a tiny place like this that cannot be avoided. Plus it gave this photographer an opportunity to photograph things that are more interesting — to me anyway! — than the people sitting at nearby tables. (And less likely to get me kicked out than if I had started photographing other diners!) The photograph is also a reminder of how good — and even fun — it can be to always have a small camera along, even when your primary goal isn't photography.

We're already wishing that we'd gotten the optional sink and faucet thingies. They did add a granite window sill and backsplashes so that's all good. Okay, the sink opening was cut in after the counter was set as a stone this size would break during installation otherwise. I took this photo to text it to my wife asking her if maybe we forgot something.

January 30, 1968, Vietnamese New Year's Eve
VC and NVA forces breaks agreement to cease fire during the Tết festivities and suprise American forces and their allies with coordinated atacks on several strategic bases, and main cities. Even though suprised, marines stay sharp enough to begin fighting back.
The diorama shows the USMC squad trying to stealthy re-take the city.
I took me about a month, to build this diorama, wchich is the biggest thing I have ever done, but I guess it was worth that time. Some things could be done better, I'm sure, but that's the best I could do without spending a real fortune on bricks.
Built for BAF's Vietnam scene contest.
Hope you like it.
C&C welcome,
Cheers,

A couple quick snapshots of a Taco Bell we stopped for lunch in San Bernardino, CA; it looks like the only addition to the restaurant was the touchscreen menus (not shown as there was too many people ordering)
Hmm...I do believe Daisy is recreating one of my oldies here. Pretty sure I did the same pose, in the same spot, in the same dress years ago. So either she is a shameless copycat...or the dress made her do it. I've heard they can get into your head if you're not careful. 😜

Oh, shut up you... You.. Goosefoot!

OUCH!!

Don´t you have any sense of humour, b*tch!?
Mehrere tausend Menschen sind dem Ruf der rechtsradikalen Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) zu einer Großdemonstration in Berlin gefolgt.
Die Demo startet in der Nähe des Roten Rathauses und führt durch die Innenstadt bis vor den Hauptbahnhof. Unter den Teilnehmern befinden sich auch NPD-Führungskader Uwe Meenen, sowie Hooligans aus dem Bärgida-Umfeld. sowie Personen die deutlich dem rechtsextremen Spektrum angehören.
In Sprechchören fordern die Teilnehmer "Merkel muss weg" und "Wer Deutschland nicht liebt, soll Deutschland verlassen".
Bereits mehrere Stunden vor dem AfD-Aufmarsch startete die erste Gegendemonstration von Personen aus dem linken Spektrum von der Kochstraße aus bis zum Bebelplatz, welcher an der AfD-Strecke liegt. Rund 1000 Menschen nahmen daran teil und machten ihre Ablehnung der AfD und ihre Unterstützung von Refugees deutlich.
Schon während der Auftaktkundgebung der AfD unweit des Roten Rathauses ist diese von Antifaschisten umzingelt, die lautstark ihren Unmut ausdrücken. Dabei kommt es auch zu einem versuchten Angriff von Hooligans und rechtsextremen Teilnehmern der AfD-Kundgebung auf die Gegendemonstranten. Anwesende LKA-Beamten schreiten nur zögerlich ein. Festnahmen gibt es nur auf Seiten der Gegendemonstranten.
Zum Start der AfD-Demonstration, die vom Führungspersonal Frauke Petry, ihrem Partner und NRW-Chef der AfD Marcus Pretzell, dem Brandenburger AfD-chef Alexander Gauland, sowie Beatrix von Storch, MdEP angeführt wird, kommt es zu einer kurzen Blockade-Aktion, teilweise älterer Menschen, die durch die Polizei geräumt wird.
Während der ganzen Strecke sehen sich die Teilnehmer der AfD-Demo zudem mit heftigen und lautstarken Gegenkundgebungen konfrontiert. Dabei kommt es immer wieder zu versuchten Übergriffen von AfD-Teilnehmern auf die Gegendemonstranten.
Kritisch wird es, als eine Spontandemonstration von rund 200 linken Personen, teilweise aus dem autonomen Spektrum, offenkundig ihr Ende direkt am AfD-Aufzug finden soll. Dies wird von der Polizei mit körperlicher Gewalt und Pfefferspray abgewehrt.
Die AfD-Demonstration erreicht den Hauptbahnhof, wo eine Abschlusskundgebung stattfindet, welche wiederum von antifaschistischen Protesten umzingelt ist und lautstark gestört wird. Im Bild: Hooligans und Rechtsextreme wollen die Gegenkundgebung angreifen.

”Osasto Kuhlmey” (”Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey”) was a Luftwaffe’s unit that fought in support of the Finnish Air Force in the final phase of the Continuation War in the summer of 1944.
The unit was named after its commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt Kuhlmey. Department Kuhlmey’s main goal was to support the Finnish defense forces to fight off a major attack by the Soviet Union. This support included countering ground attacks, aerial bombardment and aerial reconnaissance. The unit consisted of a variety of aircraft, including Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters and Junkers Ju 87 dive bombers (Stukas). With the help of these planes, the division was able to perform both fighter and bomber missions. Department Kuhlmey’s operations in Finland ended in July 1944, when the unit withdrew back to Germany.
However, their contribution was a significant part of Finland’s defense against the Soviet invasion.
