Jeanne dried some orange slices to add into her tea. I tried to play them with the sunshine.

Wishing you a joyous 2024! 😉 Cheers to new beginnings.

On a hill between Lake Traun and Attersee, surrounded by forest, lies Lake Taferlklaussee. A walk around the lake offers great views of the surrounding mountains.

Belinda's Dream Rose Wet With Rain

The sound of the gramophone rolled out of the speakers. Rich, warm and oddly comforting. Wave forms frozen in time. Not in digital 1s and 0s, like with compact discs, cassette tapes or digital files on a computer, but in analogue physical grooves etched into the actual surface of a record.

 

The sound is created solely by vibrations and does not require any electrical setups. The gramophone would store sound in reverse by playing music with the horn, and the sounds would be consolidated in the diaphragm.

Ballet Coppélia

Greek national opera

  

In Edward Klug's new choreography, the terrifying element of a living doll is set against the backdrop of an ideal world. The distinguished choreographer creates a mysterious, strange world, through the magic of beauty. Klug creates the new version of Coppélia through the kinesthetic code of modern dance, complementing Leo Delib's lively original score with new compositions by Milko Lazar.

 

Music. For the initial conception of the two-act ballet, the music was composed by the Frenchman Léo Delibes (1836-1891). The Slovenian composer Milko Lazar (b. 1965) also composed music especially for the new choreography by Eduard Klug.

From the cold and dark, we wish for a world of light and warmth.

 

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

 

The gold light returned like an arrow-shot flame.

It lit on the tree top where they could see from afar

The golden-like sphere turned into a star.

The old crone just smiled at the beautiful sight,

"Happy Yuletide, my children," she whispered. "Good night."

The Acropolis rock is 156 meters above sea level. It is considered a landmark for Athens. Since 1987 it has been a monument protected by UNESCO as a cultural site. The Greek root acro- means "high;" thus, an acropolis is basically a "high city"
