Beeindruckend und für mich einwunderbares Erlennis...wir durften ganz in Tuhe dieses herrliche Gabäude erkunden
für mich Äthetik pur.....
Die auf einer Anhöhe im Stadtteil Kirchberg gelegene Philharmonie Luxemburgs wure vom französischen Architekten Christian de Portzamparc entworfen. Der über einem tropfenförmigen Grundriss errichtete elliptisch geschwungene Baukörper befindet sich im Zentrum des dreieckigen Europaplatzes (Entwurf Ricardo Bofill).
Den Besucher empfängt der Neubau mit einem „Kreis hoher Bäume“ (Architekt) aus 823 weißen Stützen, der als „Initiation des Publikums“ dient, bevor es „ins Reich der Musik vordringen“ darf. Diese „filternde Fassade“ soll eine „Lichthülle“ bilden, deren Kern der Aufführungssaal in der Mitte bildet.
Gallerie
Die in vier elliptischen Reihen radial hintereinander angeordneten schlanken Rundpfeiler von 20 Meter Höhe sind nach einem mathematischen Rhythmus angeordnet. Dahinter befindet sich zwischen Außenhülle und Auditorium die Wendelhalle des Foyers. Von hier bietet sich eine Vielzahl von Durch- und Ausblicken. Verstärkt wird das Raumerlebnis im Foyer durch zenitales Licht, das durch einen Oberlichtring einfällt und durch seitlich durch die Kolonnaden eindringendes Licht.
Im großen Konzertsaal ist die Außenwand so ausgebildet, dass Vor- und Rücksprünge entstehen. Er ist 24 Meter lang, 48 Meter tief und 17 Meter hoch und bietet bis zu 1.500 Personen Platz. Die Wände mit ihren Logentürmen über mehrere Stockwerke sollten den Saal „beleben“ und an „Hochhäuser – wie nächtliche Gebäude, die einen öffentlichen Platz umgeben“ erinnern. Diese raumhohen Nischen, die in sanften Pastelltönen gehalten sind, nehmen unter anderem eine Sektbar, die Garderobe und weitere Infrastrukturen auf.
An den Neubau ist ein muschelförmiger, mit weißen Aluminium-Paneelen verkleideter Kammermusiksaal (Salle de Musique de Chambre) angefügt, der 300 Zuhörern Platz bietet. Im Untergeschoss befindet sich noch ein kleiner Saal, der sogenannte Espace Découverte mit 120 Plätzen für elektroakustische Musik und interaktive Musik-Workshops.
Akustik
Im kleinen Kammermusiksaal werden die störenden Schallkonzentrationen der konkaven Muschelform durch ein konvexes in den Raum gehängtes Schallelement getilgt. Es diffundiert die Töne und wirft sie zum Publikum zurück. Die konkaven Begrenzungsflächen würden ansonsten die Schallwellen zu polarisieren. Zur Kontrolle der Niedrigschallabsorption sind zudem große Teile der Wandflächen mit 68 mm dicken MDF-Paneelen verkleidet. Bei voll besetztem Zuschauerraum wurden mittlere Nachhallzeiten von 1,6 Sekunden bei 500 Hz, 2,1 Sekunden bei 125 Hz und 1,3 Sekunden bei 4.000 Hz.
Der große Saal hat die Form einer rechteckigen "Schuhschachtel" mit acht von den Längswänden eingestellten Logentürmen und stirnseitiger Bühne. Diese Raumform gilt unter Akustikern als leistungsfähigste und am leichtesten zu kontrollierende. Ziel bei der Raumakustikplanung war es, den kurzen Nachhall aus den Seitenwänden zu optimieren. Die parallelen Wände des Parketts sind mit akustischen Holz-Diffusoren verkleidet und verhindern so auftretende Streu-Echos. Zudem bricht das grobe Relief der Türme mit den Logen den Klang im unteren Frequenzbereich entsprechend der jeweiligen Wellenlänge des Tons.
Mit Hilfe von drei Bühnenreflektoren kann die Klangqualität justiert werden. An der Saaldecke wurde eine Lage GRG-Material (mit Glasfaser verstärkter Gips) verankert. Sie verhindert eine zu starke Klangabsorption im Niederfrequenzbereich. Die Nachhallzeit wurde bei vollem Haus geprüft. Für 500 Hz liegt sie bei 2 Sekunden. Durch einen 440 m² großen Samtvorhang kann dieser Wert auf 1,5 Sekunden abgesenkt werden. Zusätzlich lassen sich Luken von ca. 1.000 m² Fläche in der Saaldecke öffnen.
"Insgesamt sei die Akustik «gefährlich gut», meinen die Musiker der «Solistes Européens Luxembourg» - denn wirklich jeder Ton sei zu hören", so eine dpa-Meldung.

Nyhavn (literally: New Harbour) is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse, it is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants. Serving as a "heritage harbour", the canal has many historical wooden ships.
Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1673, dug by Swedish war prisoners from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn for some 18 years.
The first bridge across Nyhavn opened on 6 February 1875. It was a temporary wooden footbridge.[1] It was replaced by the current bridge in 1912.[2]

As ocean-going ships grew larger, Nyhavn was taken over by internal Danish small vessel freight traffic. After World War II land transport took over this role and small vessel traffic disappeared from the Port of Copenhagen, leaving Nyhavn largely deserted of ships.
In the mid-1960s, the Nyhavn Society (Danish: Nyhavnsforeningen) was founded with the aim of revitalising the area. In 1977, Nyhavn was inaugurated as a veteran ship and museum harbour by Copenhagen’s Lord Mayor Egon Weidekamp. In 1980 Nyhavn quay was pedestrianised; it had been used as a parking area in the previous years which had coincided with a dwindling of harbour activities. Since then it has become a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, serving the function of a square according to architects Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzøe.

The Anna Creek Painted Hills, previously called the Secret Painted Hills, are a spectacular and recently discovered section of the pristine Breakaways country in the far north of South Australia.
Anna Creek Painted Hills is a rocky outcrop of large and small hills, which emerge suddenly out of a flat, desert landscape. The hills are approximately 20 kilometres x 18 kilometres in size. It is believed that the Anna Creek Painted Hills are the leftover effects of 50 million years of climate change, with the climate going from glacial to wet and semi-tropical over million of years.
The changing colours of the hills are believed to be a result of oxidisation. The deep red is due to the oxidation of iron in the rocks, while the white sections are where iron has leached away.
"Deep in the South Australian outback lies the painted desert a fragile lunar landscape of ochre-red and mustard yellow rock weathered over millions of years and as large as a regional city ... People are already comparing these areas in terms of their tourism potential to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Bungle Bungles.
These clay and iron-oxide formations are estimated to cover an expanse of 20km wide and 10km long. The Painted Hills is according to Dr. Gehling, the leftover effects of about 50 million years of climate change - the climate has gone from glacial to wet and semi tropical over millions of years.
Adelaide University geologist John Foden said the rock formations were extraordinary - it seems to me something to do with deep weathering and erosion of an ancient landscape - the changing colours were a result of oxidation. Station owners were doing their utmost to protect the site due to its fragility and would in no way allow four-wheel drives to be able to go there".

Anna Creek Station is the world's largest working cattle station, with an area of roughly 6,000,000 acres (24,000 sq km; 9,400 sq mi) which is slightly larger than Israel.

Germany, Hamburg, Crocuses, “spring is knocking”. There are between 80 to 120 species of "botanical crocuses" depending on the definition, meaning the wild species in contrast to the ornamental crosses between different species by gardeners. Wild crocuses are only found in the temperate latitudes of Europe, Asia as well as in North Africa, with the focus being on the Mediterranean region from Italy to the Balkans, Greece, Turkey & the Caucasus.
In Germany we only have wild stocks of the white crocus in the foothills of the Alps, from the Allgäu to the Berchtesgaden Alps. White crocuses probably came during prehistoric times to Central Europe with the human settlements. Their distribution ranges from the Pyrenees in the west across the Alps to Albania.
In Germany there was a saying „Safran macht den Kuchen gehl“, meaning Saffron makes the cake yellow.
The saffron blossoms are picked immediately after they have blossomed; the long stigmas are plucked out by hand & then dried.
In order to obtain 1 kg of saffron, 150,000 to 200,000 flower stigmas have to be harvested & dried in laborious manual work. This also explains the high price, for 100 gr 800€ & higher, i.e. 8000€ per kg in 2021.
1 gram is the general trade size for consumers.
Because of this price, fake or cut saffron is widely available: especially so-called saffron powder, fakes can consist of a turmeric mixture. Saffron threads are also counterfeited, but those familiar with the look & smell can tell the difference
The world annual production is at least 300 tons. Yellow-red carotenoids are responsible for the enormous colouring power of saffron, while the essential saffron oil & saffron bitter are responsible for the scent & a slightly bitter taste. The ingredients are water-soluble; heating or even very carefully a little bit roasted in a pan enhances the flavour & colour of the saffron threads; in water or in milk simmered it is a versatile seasoning & colouring liquid.
Saffron is hardly ever used in everyday Central European cuisine, but it should not be missing in Mediterranean classics such as Paella, Risotto Milanese or la Bouillabaisse Marseillaise, saffron is also indispensable in Persian & Indian cuisine.
📌 !!! …In higher doses, like nutmeg, saffron is toxic, in the past it was even used for abortions.
The lethal amount is 10 to 20 grams

Germany, Hamburg, Crocuses, “spring is knocking”. There are between 80 to 120 species of "botanical crocuses" depending on the definition, meaning the wild species in contrast to the ornamental crosses between different species by gardeners. Wild crocuses are only found in the temperate latitudes of Europe, Asia as well as in North Africa, with the focus being on the Mediterranean region from Italy to the Balkans, Greece, Turkey & the Caucasus.
In Germany we only have wild stocks of the white crocus in the foothills of the Alps, from the Allgäu to the Berchtesgaden Alps. White crocuses probably came during prehistoric times to Central Europe with the human settlements. Their distribution ranges from the Pyrenees in the west across the Alps to Albania.
In Germany there was a saying „Safran macht den Kuchen gehl“, meaning Saffron makes the cake yellow.
The saffron blossoms are picked immediately after they have blossomed; the long stigmas are plucked out by hand & then dried.
In order to obtain 1 kg of saffron, 150,000 to 200,000 flower stigmas have to be harvested & dried in laborious manual work. This also explains the high price, for 100 gr 800€ & higher, i.e. 8000€ per kg in 2021.
1 gram is the general trade size for consumers.
Because of this price, fake or cut saffron is widely available: especially so-called saffron powder, fakes can consist of a turmeric mixture. Saffron threads are also counterfeited, but those familiar with the look & smell can tell the difference
The world annual production is at least 300 tons. Yellow-red carotenoids are responsible for the enormous colouring power of saffron, while the essential saffron oil & saffron bitter are responsible for the scent & a slightly bitter taste. The ingredients are water-soluble; heating or even very carefully a little bit roasted in a pan enhances the flavour & colour of the saffron threads; in water or in milk simmered it is a versatile seasoning & colouring liquid.
Saffron is hardly ever used in everyday Central European cuisine, but it should not be missing in Mediterranean classics such as Paella, Risotto Milanese or la Bouillabaisse Marseillaise, saffron is also indispensable in Persian & Indian cuisine.
📌 !!! …In higher doses, like nutmeg, saffron is toxic, in the past it was even used for abortions.
The lethal amount is 10 to 20 grams.

Wisconsin & Southern train HM is backed in on the Gehl spur at Germantown, Wisconsin to make a set out.
It always amazed me that the big WSOR SD40-2s could go in on this weed and brush enclosed, sharply curved light rail industry track, but it did occur on occasion as evidenced in this photo taken back on October 13th, 2009. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
