It may seem that the world is falling apart at the seams - but in the far north - above the 60th parallel - we manage to keep our sense of humor through it all.
(I shot this near the White River along the Alaska Highway.)
Soldiers of the 10th Armee somewhere on the eastern front. Based on the paper I think it dates to around 1917 (erster-weltkrieg.dnb.de/WKI/Content/DE/Objekte/03-01-zeit...)
The soldiers carrying a wide array of weapons. There are two types of ersatz bayonets, a 98/05 bayonet, trench club, axe and there is even a Mercator knife in there, great photo!
Three of what I believe to be female redwing blackbirds seem to be quite confused as to what the snow on the ground was, as well they should be since redwing blackbirds should have migrated south long ago.
Es regnet schon die Nacht und heute Morgen. Freuen wir uns mit der Natur und tragen wir es mit Humor.
It's been raining the night and this morning. We look forward with nature and we carry it with humor.
I've been wandering thru my house and looking at all the various gifts Mom has given me over the years. Nothing was presenting itself for the letter H. Then I decided not all gifts are tangible.
Mom enjoyed a good laugh, a funny story, and generally having fun. Humor makes life more enjoyable
Sieht so aus, als ob diese Jungs für's Synchronschwimmen trainieren. Übrigens: Im Zeichen der Gleichberechtigung dürfen auch Männer seit 2015 an Weltmeisterschaften teilnehmen, Olympische Spiele sind jedoch immer noch ein No-Go.
Looks like these chaps are exercising Synchronized Swimming. Fun fact: As a sign of equal opportunity men are allowed to take part in world championships since 2015, but Olympic Games are still a No-Go.
I plead guilty 😄

Schloss Dyck, located in Jüchen, Germany, is one of the Rhineland's most significant moated castles. Dating back to the 11th century, the complex as it stands today is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture, featuring a grand four-winged main building surrounded by a network of defensive stone walls and deep, water-filled moats. For over 900 years, it served as the ancestral seat of the Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck family before transitioning into a public cultural foundation focused on garden art and historical preservation.
The castle is internationally renowned for its spectacular English landscape garden, which was redesigned in the early 19th century by the famous Scottish garden architect Thomas Blaikie. Spanning over 170 acres, the park seamlessly blends rolling lawns, winding paths, and picturesque water features. It is a haven for plant lovers, boasting a massive collection of rare, centuries-old trees - such as giant sequoias and ancient ginkgos - and vibrant seasonal floral displays that shift in color throughout the year.
Today, Dyck Castle and Gardens operates as a vibrant cultural center and open-air museum. Visitors can explore the historical interior rooms, enjoy contemporary art exhibitions, or walk through modern experimental themed gardens that showcase innovative landscape designs. The estate also serves as a popular venue for major regional events, hosting everything from garden fairs and classic car shows to festive Christmas markets, making it a beloved destination for both history buffs and nature enthusiasts.
To honor the Brickworld 2014 theme: "Candy, Sweet Escapes" is this icon of 1950's American childhood: the Good Humor ice-creme truck. This model is a minifig scale version of the prototype used in the Doomtown sequence of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Its presence in the film contrasted the horror of atomic testing with the innocence of suburban life.
Custom stickers and chrome-plated elements are used extensively. Innovative use of a white structural sticker for the front wheel wells. The rear tail lights use circular pieces discarded from Belleville foam elements inserted into 1x1 round plates.
As I came out of a store I spotted a Smart Car-sized vehicle whose owner had a sense of humor. "So Big" is soooo appropriate. In another life I'd like to have one as an in-town car. Unfortunately, two children's car seats make that plan unworkable. That's OK, I'd rather have the grandkids.
