This is one of the many huge lanterns that were drawn or carried through the streets of Basel during this year's carnival. They deal with different current issues and are on display in front of the Basel Minster at night.
(Mr Trump featured rather heavily this year.)
And this is how it looks when the big and small lanterns are paraded through the city on the morning of the first day of carnival: www.flickr.com/photos/evakatharina/32508822927/in/datepos...
Flying or sailing
Doesn’t matter the goal
If long is the travel
Volando o navigando
Non importa la meta
Se lungo è il viaggio
The southern royal albatross or toroa (Diomedea epomophora) is a large seabird from the albatross family. With an average wingspan of above 3 m (9.8 ft), it is one of the two largest species of albatross, together with the wandering albatross.
The southern royal albatross has a length of 112 to 123 cm (44–48 in)[ and a mean weight of 8.5 kg (19 lb). At Campbell Island, 11 males were found to have a mean mass of 10.3 kg (23 lb) and 7 females were found to have a mean mass of 7.7 kg (17 lb), thus may be heavier on average than most colonies of wandering albatross.
Males are about 2 to 3 kg (4.4 to 6.6 lb) heavier than females. Average wingspan has been reported from 2.9 to 3.28 m (9.5 to 10.8 ft), with an upper limit of about 3.50 m (11.5 ft). The wandering albatross can exceed this species in maximum size and averages slightly larger in linear dimensions if not bulk, but the two species are close enough in dimensions that size cannot be used to distinguish between them.
The juvenile has a white head, neck, upper mantle, rump, and underparts. There are black speckles on the mantle, and dark brown or black wings with white flecks on coverts. The tail is white except for the black tip as is the under-wing. Young birds soon lose the black on their tail and backs. White appears on the upperwing gradually, as speckles starting from the leading edge.
All ages have a pink bill with black on the cutting edge on the upper mandible, and the legs are flesh-coloured. Young birds with all-dark upperwings can be hard to differentiate from the northern royal albatross. There are clear but subtle differences from the wandering albatross, with the southern royal having a clean black and white appearance, lacking the peach neck spot often found on the wandering albatross.
Most wandering albatrosses have dark feathers in the tail and crown and the white in this species expands from the middle of the wing, in larger blotches. The bill is also slightly paler, as well as the dark cutting edge along the middle. The average lifespan is 58 years.

Where does she take you?.......what thoughts are aroused?.....
Could there be a hint of danger?........Should you take the risk?......
Sometimes during the rush of the holiday season it is difficult to remember if you are,' coming or going...' Sometimes I have to just stop... Put things in perspective...is she coming or going?
I'm currently really busy because of school and the weather (and one of my groupmates) are making everything worse
It is not often one gets a chance to see the "official" Santa Claus unless of course, the joyous old man in red coming down all the way from Rovaniemi in Finland via Finnair to meet his adoring little fans (and maybe grown up ones too). Here's hoping that they end up in his nice list instead of the naughty list this year.
I guess I do it for the thrill, adrenaline
Wanna make me feel alive
Your love is like a poison pill
Venomous
I swallow it every night
And I've been talking in my sleep
I know this will be the end of me
Are we lovers or are we just enemies?
So is it love or is it chemistry?

在登台前的陽光下驕傲優雅地閃閃發光、閃閃發光...
suspicious, curious, capricious, and cautious,
those make an arrogant noble.

One thing I like in this country is that, people are practical. They tend to buy things that they only need.
