tausendmal habe ich vor entscheidungen gestanden
mich gefragt wohin sie führen
oft habe ich das risiko gewählt,
bin mutig gewesen
gestählt habe ich gewagt
und war bereit
aber manchmal konnte ich mich nicht entscheiden,
und habe das Leben
für mich wählen lassen.
die zeit hat wege geöffnet
oder geschlossen
doch unverdrossen
lebt die zeit und die seele schreit
nach kunst

die telefonauskunft sagt nichts hierzu und calvin klein springt vor das haus direkt in seinen
bmw hinein. calvin klein liebt seinen bmw wohingegen versace lieber audi fährt. calvin klein fährt direkt zur nächsten post und sucht dort nach dem telefonbuch. seinen bmw hat er abgestellt. er will freunde einladen in dieses icq und braucht aber dringend dieses telefonbuch dazu. und wenn er dann die nummern findet im telefonbuch ruft er die freunde an und lädt sie ein ins icq. karl lagerfeld ist nicht daheim. er fährt auch bmw und wohl grad zu ikea. er braucht ein bild von ikea
als geschenk für claudia schiffer seine freundin. ein bild von ikea. ein bild mit den simpsons vorne drauf von ikea. er könnte auch zu cartier gehen, aber ein bild von ikea mit den simpsons drauf ist cool.riders on the storm läuft gerad im radio. der wetter bericht es wird regnen karl lagerfeld stoppt seinen bmw und springt hinaus das dach zu schließen. das wetter spielt verrückt, mal so mal so, mit dem wetter kann man nicht mehr rechnen. gerade fährt er am haus von johnny depp vorbei, der hat auch ein bild von ikea, er hat es aber selbst gekauft, das bild von ikea. johnny depp was an american gigolo wie einst richard gere. das dach vom bmw ist zu der bmw rollt an aber erst nachdem karl lagerfeld in seinen bmw geklettert ist. logisch ohne karl kann der bmw ja nicht fahren. bei johnny depp steht ein auto vor der tür. ein audi. man hätte diesem depp mehr zugetraut mindestens einen kleinen bmw. denn bmw is just the best. karl lagerfeld will denn nun wieder heim. bei ikea war er schon. das bild von ikea hat er auch schon das bild vversace ist im icq. und calvin klein sieht ihm dabei zu. versace plaudert über wikipdia im speziellen über sido. calvin klein wil auch ins icq doch wie ist der download für dieses on ikea für claudia schiffer er hat das bild in den kofferraum vom bmw gesperrt ein kofferraum mit einem bild von ikea mit den simpsons für claudia schiffer für was braucht claudia schiffer ein bild von ikea mit den simpsons drauf egal ikea ist gut und das bild auch und die simpsons noch mehr.
lagerfeld hat sich verfahren
calvin klein sucht weiter im telefonbuch. sein bmw steht noch vor der post. er hat den bmw ja
auch abgesperrt. einen bmw muß man absperren. zuviele menschen mögen bmw. bmw ist ein tolles auto. im telefonbuch findet man nicht so viel. er blättert in diesem telefonbuch wie in einer zeitung. das telefonbuch ist verschmiert. seiten aus dem telefonbuch fehlen. das telefonbuch ist ein altes. ein neues telefonbuch sollte jeds jahr hierher, denkt calvin klein. mal sehen, ob paris hilton in diesem telefonbuch steht. wenn nein ist sie ja vielleicht mit britney spears in deren bmw
fortgefahren. alle lieben bmw.

SH Arnolt Inc. of Chicago and Warsaw Indiana sold four different manufacturer's cars with Bertone bodies during the period 1953 to 1968.
Stanley H. "Wacky" Arnolt was a Chicago industrialist, who began importing foreign cars in the 1950s to the United States. Though sold as American cars, the cars were true hybrids, with British mechanicals, Italian bodywork, and U.S. sales and distribution, as well as in some cases final assembly and body work. SH Arnolt Inc. was a licensed automobile manufacturer in the State of Illinois.
A fortuitous meeting with Bertone at the Turin Auto Show in 1952 resulted in four collaborative efforts between Arnolt and Bertone.
The first was the Arnolt-MG, a four-seater Bertone-bodied car based on the MG TD chassis and XPAG 54 hp engine. The Arnolt MG was designed by Giovanni Bertone, his son Nuccio, and Giovanni Michelotti. Of a planned production of 200 cars, 103 have been documented as built between 1953 and 1954 (67 coupes and 36 convertibles). Out of this total, the whereabouts of 36 are unknown and three are known to have been scrapped (as of 1993).
The initial price was $3145. In 1954, MG informed Arnolt that it could no longer supply chassis and engines due to demand for its own complete cars (as well as the replacement of the TD by the TF), so Arnolt began looking for a larger-engined car.

Another one from my recent tiger adventure in South Africa.
This was shot on a late afternoon. It had been heavily overcast most of the day, but suddenly the sun appeared from below the clouds and brought everything to life. As cats do, this tiger immediately wanted to take advantage of the situation and climbed up a hill to find herself a nice spot on the rocks to enjoy the warmth.
More information about this project can be found on my blog.

Cómo encontrar un sitio con los primeros ojos,
un sitio donde asir la larga soledad
con los primeros ojos, sin gastar
las primeras miradas,
y si quedan maltrechas de significados,
de cáscara de ideales, de purezas inmundas,
cómo encontrar un río con los primeros pasos,
un río -para lavarlos- que las lleve.
Mario Benedetti
Las primeras miradas (fragmento)
Over on LEGO Rebrick they're currently having a Nexo Knights Mech competition; And this was (mostly) built for that.
Theres no shortage of beautiful, and massive Mechs over there. It's well worth checking out the entriees. But I wanted to take a different take. If you've been following along with my work, you've probably noticed I have a style, and certain themes I like to come back to; in particular - kids at play. And this riffs on that idea. Two kids, playing with their favourite Mechs, while the fate of Knighton Castle hangs in the balance. In a classic Red Vs Blue micro-style.
Anyway, head to LEGO Rebrick, check out the entries. The competition closes in a few days, so if you want to enter, get building quick. And Play Well.

Threads of Fine Gold
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
The light in the morning
Have threads of fine gold
From abysses of yearning
The reality cannot hold
Each thread is in shine
To give you more to make
Comes there line to line
To touch you and to awake
Those aspirations to give
That fallen have from the sky
And you must again relive
Like silver clouds drifting by
To make your own path on earth
In reaching the limitless reach
And show of accomplish worth
That gives you purpose and teach
This light becomes within
If it is made of this:
Sunshine of daybreak’s spin
In threads from its awakening bliss
And giving hope to you
Like rainbow’s pots beyond
To make dreams come true
From its prospect magic wand

En los días más crudos del invierno, cuando en las turberas el suelo es hielo y el aire corta con su afilado silbido, el frío no ha podido apagar la llama verde de las minúsculas estrellas, belleza en equilibrio que entre las nieves encuentra su cuna y a las que en su abrazo va destilando gota a gota en aguas puras.
Es muy posible que a Micrasterias rotata le sobren todas estas palabras porque su sola presencia derrocha belleza. Alga de las turberas, tan hermosa como sensible a la contaminación, extiende su cuerpo de sol en su reflejo de espejo recortándose en cincuenta y dos radios que sostienen su cuerpo en su universo líquido y limpio.
Auténticas joyas de la naturaleza, las algas del género Micrasterias suelen vivir bajo aguas cristalinas sobre mullidos tapizados de musgo en las zonas altas de montaña. Allí, en silencio, cerca de las estrellas, bajo un aire limpio y fresco que alimenta su vida brillan invisibles. Encontrarse con ellas es siempre una emoción, casi siempre alegría al descubrir su belleza.
Micrasterias rotata es estrella y una joya entre las algas; en su interior se dispone un solo cloroplasto recortado y laminar que contiene los pigmentos verdes que le permiten vivir utilizando la energía del sol. La fotosíntesis hace que se cargue de azúcares, combustibles necesarios para su supervivencia, que si se producen en exceso, serán almacenados en forma de pequeños granos verdes de pirenoides, que contienen un azúcar de reserva, parecido al almidón, muy útil en tiempos de escasez.
Micrasterias vive en turberas y es extremadamente sensible a la contaminación, ha desaparecido ya de buena parte de sus hábitats tradicionales en la Europa central debido a la alteración de las aguas en las que habita. Además de sensible a la contaminación es también muy sensible a la luz y navega, refugiándose en sitios más sombríos si la radiación solar es muy intensa.
Recortada en equilibrio y belleza de estrella, Micrasterias rotata es siempre espejo verde y vivo del Sol...
Micrasterias rotata ha sido fotografiada en vivo a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de microscopía de interferencia y procede de unas muestras recogidas en las turberas de Peña Yerre el 12 de enero de 2019.

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.[6] The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. A global power city,[7] New York exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters,[8] New York is an important center for international diplomacy[9] and has been described as the cultural capital of the world.[10][11]
On one of the world's largest natural harbors,[12] New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a county of New York State.[13] The five boroughs—the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898.[14] With a census-estimated 2013 population of 8,405,837[4] distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2),[15] New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States.[16] As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York,[17][18] making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.[19] By 2013 census estimates, the New York Metropolitan Area's population remains by a significant margin the United States' largest Metropolitan Statistical Area, with approximately 19.9 million people,[20] and is also part of the most populous Combined Statistical Area in the United States, containing an estimated 23.4 million people.

Scotney Castle is an English country house with formal gardens south-east of Lamberhurst in the valley of the River Bewl in Kent, England. It belongs to the National Trust. The gardens, which are a celebrated example of the Picturesque style, are open to the public. The central feature is the ruins of a medieval, moated manor house, Scotney Old Castle, which is on an island on a small lake. The lake is surrounded by sloping, wooded gardens with fine collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmia for spring colour, summer wisteria and roses, and spectacular autumn colour. At the top of the garden stands a house which was built to replace the Old Castle between 1835 and 1843. This is known as Scotney New Castle, or simply Scotney Castle, and was designed by Anthony Salvin. It is an early, and unusually restrained, example of Tudor Revival architectural style in 19th century Britain. Following the death of the resident, Elizabeth Hussey, in 2006, this house was opened to the public for the first time on June 6, 2007. The earliest record from 1137 gives the owner of the estate as Lambert de Scoteni. Roger Ashburnham is credited with building the castle c.1378-80. Construction of the castle began as a roughly rectangular fortified house with towers in each corner. The original plan may never have been finished, and by 1558 it is likely only the southern tower remained. In 1580 the south wing was rebuilt in Elizabethan architecture style, and around 1630 the eastern range was rebuilt in three story Inigo Jones style. The Elizabethan wing remained a bailiff's residence until 1905, but the eastern range was partly dismantled on the completion of the new house in 1843, leaving the ruin as a garden feature. Catholic Recusant owner Thomas Darrell hid Jesuit Father Richard Blount, S.J. in the castle while he administered to Roman Catholics from 1591 to 1598. Catholicism was then illegal in England, and during the second raid by authorities to arrest the Father he fled over a wall into the moat and escaped. The Darrell family owned the estate for some 350 years. In 1778 Edward Hussey bought the estate and his grandson, also Edward, built the 'new' Castle to the designs of Anthony Salvin, from sandstone quarried from the slope below. The hollow created was developed into a Quarry Garden and contains a 100 million year old impression of a dinosaur's footprint. On Christopher Hussey's death in 1970 the estate was left to the National Trust. Several apartments in the castle and on the estate were let out by the Trust, with tenants including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who rented the Belfry flat for a time during the 1970s and 1980s, when it served as a weekend escape for her from Westminster life. The castle grounds have played host to Shakespeare productions, notably A Midsummer Night's Dream, with the actors appearing from behind the bushes on cue. Old Scotney Castle was used as the location for the video to the Squeeze song Some Fantastic Place.
Just a few more shots since I built the other wing/panel. Hadn't posted a frontal or rear shot until now. So, what's changed? Well, I made the exhaust ports a little bigger, I flipped the rods so they face forward, and I overcame one thing I used to hate so much: asymmetry.
Look here for more detail.

Our cat had kittens 2 years ago I think it was...
it was a very cold morning with a freezing northern wind, we had just got up in the morning and opened our door to check if the cat wanted to come in....
We then heard some noises from the bushes in the garden..she had had 5 kittens, only one was alive, or so it seemed, I picked up one of the dead ones, it was really cold to the touch, with no sign of life, then I remember from watching Animal planet, that you could try and stroke them..
And so I started, holding him in my hands to keep him warm and gently squeezing and stroking him, I was about to give up when I sensed a movement in his tiny little body.
Encouraged by this I kept going, and picked up one more of the "dead" ones, I now had one in each hand, and slowly life returned to them both, this was a great moment, to feel life returning..I think I will remember this moment for as long as I live :))
2 died 3 survied :)
This is a pic of one of the "dead" ones, very much alive :))

Prague (Czech: Praha) is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic, the 14th largest city in the European Union and the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of 2.6 million. The city has a temperate climate, with warm summers and chilly winters.
Prague has been a political, cultural and economic centre of central Europe complete with a rich history. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles IV (r. 1346–1378). It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Petřín hill and Vyšehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The city has more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries, cinemas and other historical exhibits. An extensive modern public transportation system connects the city. Also, it is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including Charles University in Prague, the oldest university in Central Europe.
Prague is classified as an "Alpha −" global city according to GaWC studies and ranked sixth in the Tripadvisor world list of best destinations in 2016. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination and as of 2017, the city receives more than 8.5 million international visitors annually. Prague is the fourth most visited European city after London, Paris and Rome.

The Vltava (German: Moldau) is the longest river within the Czech Republic, running southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice and Prague, and finally merging with the Elbe at Mělník. It is commonly referred to as the "Bohemian sea" and the "Czech national river".
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bridge
Charles Bridge (Czech: Karlův most) is a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 1158–1172 that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342. This new bridge was originally called Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) or Prague Bridge (Pražský most) but has been "Charles Bridge" since 1870. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau) until 1841, Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. This "solid-land" connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe.
The bridge is 621 metres (2,037 ft) long and nearly 10 metres (33 ft) wide, following the example of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg, it was built as a bow bridge with 16 arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers, two on the Lesser Quarter side (including the Malá Strana Bridge Tower) and one on the Old Town side, the Old Town Bridge Tower. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque-style, originally erected around 1700 but now all replaced by replicas.
Repairs are scheduled to start in late 2019, and should take around 20 years.
