...to whom it may concern :)
Fanta 4 "Flüchtig":
Die Wahrheit is’ trocken und selten geschmackvoll,
von Sachen, die rocken, da hab ich ’n Sack voll,
ich spür’ sie mich locken wie ’n Abgrund,
mit der Angst in den Knochen vor’m Absprung.
Es war am Anfang noch nicht mal ’n Abrollen,
zu kraftvoll, und ich hab’s hab’n wollen,
immer voll nach vorne, das passt schon,
einfach Vollnarkose, das war’s schon.
Hatte den Willen meine Sinne zu verlieren,
zumindest alles zu probieren, diesen Fall zu riskieren,
hatte Grenzen getestet und lieben gelernt,
meine Ziele erreicht und mich von ihnen entfernt.
Um sein Gefühl zu verlagern auf Knopfdruck
muss man sich fragen, was man sich in den Kopf tut,
bis man dann irgendwann jede Abfahrt wählt,
wenn’s von Anfang an immer nur abwärts geht.
Diese Angst, dass die Träume sich verflüchtigen,
ist die Angst vor der Einsamkeit der Nüchternen,
vor der Bedeutungslosigkeit eines jeden flüchtigen
Augenblicks des Glücks eines Süchtigen.
Wie’s dir gefällt, irgendwas geht immer;
wie tief du noch fällst, du hast keinen Schimmer.
Deine Angst nagelt dich an dein Bett in dein’m Zimmer
und du hast was dagegen, das macht es noch schlimmer.
Du erhöhst deine Dosis unmerklich
und denkst dir immer wieder: „Irgendwann werd ich ...“
Mal ehrlich, wer merkt nicht, wie tief er im Dreck steht;
doch wenn’s weh tut, weißt du wie’s weg geht.
Und wie in Zeitlupe splittert dein Leben,
bis Risse, die Scherben ergeben, dein Schicksal besiegeln.
Verderben gewählt. Um Vergebung zu bitten
- vielleicht bisschen spät, musst du wissen.
Du benimmst dich als hätt’st es überwunden,
und dann verschlingt’s dich und zieht dich nach unten.
Denn du hältst daran fest bis zu letzt:
„Ich komm davon los, nur bitte nicht jetzt!“
Du hast Angst, dass die Träume sich verflüchtigen,
Angst vor der Einsamkeit der Nüchternen,
vor der Bedeutungslosigkeit eines jeden flüchtigen
Augenblicks des Glücks eines Süchtigen.
Es is’ allen bekannt und jeder kann es bezeugen:
wir hab’n ’nen klaren Verstand und hören nich’ auf ihn zu betäuben,
hab’n die Wahrheit erkannt, hören nich’ auf sie zu verleugnen,
hab’n es zwar in der Hand, doch hören nich’ auf es zu vergeuden.
Halt’ den Kopf hoch, der Weg nach unten ist lang,
dein Herz klopft noch, irgendwann stoppt’s doch.
While no technological masterpiece, this old egg beater is an obsolete dinosaur by today's standards - these days cakes are mostly made using electric mixers or food processors. But this old egg beater has served me well, having mixed cakes week in, week out when my family was growing up.
I could have taken a shot of the egg beater doing nothing, but thought I should whip up a 'throw it all in together and mix' type cake. The recipe called for the eggs to be beaten with some caster sugar till thick and creamy and then add the rest of the ingredients and combine. Now it's cooked, I suppose I'm going to have to eat it so my efforts aren't wasted.

I moved, left furniture outside, it rained, this picture happened.
Hope everyone's having a nice Saturday!
Alex, un ami Flickr , de Gruyère en Suisse, m'a fait une très belle surprise en venant me voir . Je ne l'avais jamais rencontré et en avais envie depuis longtemps. Sa visite m'a fait d'autant plus plaisir et beaucoup de bien qu'en cette période de grande tristesse, elle m'a changé les idées et fait penser à autre chose....Merci Alex....Et reviens quand tu veux.

I appreciate all my new flickr friends. From Russia to Thailand to right down the street. I have met some many new wonderful people that have help enrich my life.
I hope that I can keep up the pace of posting image from my first year.
Stay tuned to etravus for exciting "how to tutorials".
Thank you for all your comments and support.
Flickr is my online family.

In 1739, the British Navy won a victory over Spain for control of the town of Portobelo, Panama. The victory was celebrated to such a degree it led to the naming of many things throughout the British Empire: a road in London, colonial estates in the United States, a peninsula in New Zealand, and a Scottish beach town that has since become engulfed by the urban sprawl of Edinburgh.
During the early years of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the fast-growing town of Portobello became the site of many manufacturing industries, such as brickworks, saltworks, and glassmaking. Given its wide, sandy beach located conveniently close to both the country’s capital and its largest city, Glasgow, Portobello came to be known as a peculiar combination of an industrial and resort town.
The industrial boom in the early 20th century lead to the establishment of Buchan’s Pottery, which built two bottle kilns (so called because of their shape) onsite for its operations. The first was finished in 1906 and the second one three years later. They are the only bottle kilns that are standing in Scotland.
Near the end of the century, Scotland was on its way to becoming a post-industrial economy and many companies would close or relocate operations, Buchan’s among them. The pottery relocated to Crieff across the Firth of Forth in 1972, leaving behind these kilns as a relic of the industrial heritage of Portobello.
The kilns were renovated in 2006, and an accidental, partial collapse of the 1909 kiln required it to be fully rebuilt. Both original and new bricks were used for this renovation, and a brick marked “2013” shows the split between new and old material. As of August 2019, the 1906 kiln is being rebuilt out of the original bricks as well
Flickr used to provide a facility for photographers to quickly and easily upload, comment and fave the work of others. As such it helped create a community of creative people who could share, experiment and learn from each other.
Recent changes have made this very difficult and time consuming to do - what was a joy, has become a chore. The proposed changes are going to make this even more difficult.
I for one have remained simply because I have made a big investment in posting and commenting on photographs - and more importantly - in building relationships with other photographers, whose friendship, support and comments have helped me develop and made the flickr experience such a joy.
However, the spirit of flickr is being eroded as it becomes nothing more that a glorified picture gallery. I do not understand why flickr cannot have it's picture gallery to share with the outside world, while allowing photographers, who are the heart and soul of flickr, to do what they need to do.
So flickr, pay attention, I am protesting because I care, but the message your are giving, is that you have a new business model, and want us to go.
inverted caternaries, to be exact(more info). See, a bike with square wheels(media) can only be run on a special caternary road(media player).. And as far as I know, there aren't many caternary highways.

Aqui cada canto é um encanto.
O Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca, Unidade de Conservação gerenciada pelo Instituto Estadual de Florestas (IEF), foi classificado como o 3º melhor parque da América Latina pelo traveller´s Choices 2013 do site de viagens TripAdvisior. A seleção das melhores atrações é realizada com base nas avaliações e opiniões de viajantes que acessam o TripAdvisior, considerado o maior site de viagens do mundo e que recebe uma média de 200 milhões de visitantes por mês.
No Brasil, o Ibitipoca foi considerado o 2º melhor parque. Em 93% das avaliações e opiniões deixadas no site a Unidade de Conservação foi considerada como excelente. “A classificação é um reconhecimento dos trabalhos de conservação e turismo ecológico realizado no Parque desde sua criação. Essa premiação ocorre um momento oportuno, já que o Parque comemora 40 anos”, disse o Diretor Geral do Instituto Estadual de Florestas (IEF), Bertholdino Apolônio Teixeira Junior.
O Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca está localizado na Zona da Mata Mineira, nos municípios de Lima Duarte e Santa Rita do Ibitipoca. Possui uma área de 1.488 hectares com diversos atrativos turísticos como mirantes, grutas, praias, picos, belas cachoeiras e piscinas naturais formadas pelos Rios do Salto e Vermelho e o Córrego do Monjolinho. O pico da Lambada, também conhecido como Ibitipoca, com 1.784 metros de altitude, oferece uma vista panorâmica inigualável.
Em Minas Gerais o Ibitipoca é uma das Unidades de Conservação Estaduais mais visitadas, tendo recebido em 2012, cerca de 55 mil visitantes que, além de desfrutarem da beleza cênica Parque, podem praticar atividades como banhos, cavernismos, observação da fauna e da flora, trekking, turismo fotográfico, dentre outros.
Oh, Flickr. While I appreciate the effort to protect my photos, I'm logged in, and you put cookies on my device. Can't you write a little code to establish that, as THE CREATOR, I don't need this pop up when I look at my own photos from my own device? Is that too much to ask from a ginormous on-line enterprise?
Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
Please download this picture and upload it to your stream on Sunday, January 5, 2014. You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 )

Once again, Flickr have selfishly changed things without thinking about what its members think. I have become used to the last change, and am not happy to protect until I know what I'm protesting about, but agree with my Flickr friends and this time I am happy to support them.
If you have not tried out the beta (or are one of the fortunate ones that did not have it forced upon you) then consider yourselves lucky. Here are just a few of the things one can find in the new Flickr that will be coming our way...
- A tiny area for your description relegated to the upper right corner of your screen. Telling the story behind your photo is no longer important and is hidden (must click a button to see the entire narrative) if the description is more than a sentence or two.
- Links in descriptions are now hidden.
- Descriptions in general are more difficult to format.
- The comment area is tiny as well. Only room for a "nice photo", unless you hit the "more" button. And only four comments are shown...unless you push a "more" button (they do love this "more" button!).
- No graphics can be added to your comments. For some that may mean no awards or group graphics, for others it means no outtakes or additional shots that you may want to have accompany your primary photo.
- Speaking of comments...they are now in reverse order. So, say, you are having a conversation in your comment area it will be more difficult to follow (goodbye community). Also, you cannot reply to more than one person at a time.
- Invitations to groups in comments? You got it, not visible either.
- One last thing on comments. You can't edit them.
- Favorites are now strictly anonymous.
- All lettering is white on a black background. This is very difficult, if not impossible, for some people to read.
- When you click on someone's photo you are basically trapped there, as the Flickr toolbar disappears. The only option you have is to go to their photostream (where the bar will reappear) or use your browser's back arrows. Because this makes navigating so much more cumbersome, I stopped commenting on photos when I was forced into the beta seveal weeks ago.
This is just a small sampling of the issues with the new photopage...let your voices be heard!
