Many thanks to my dear friend Fifichat (Francoise)- here you will find many informations in FRENCH and ENGLISH:

Quotation Francoise:"*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers"
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity" Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??"
All this is very discouraging " ****End quotation Francoise***
I use frequently the English version and realized (or I'm blind) that there is NO word, discussion or forum about the upcoming change in German.
Therefore a translation in German about the upcoming changes.
DEUTSCH:
Liebe Flickr Freunde,
Seit vielen Wochen verfolgen wir die Informationen und Links von Freunden, die der neuen, bald kommenden Beta-Version als 'Tester" "ausgeliefert" waren oder Diskussionen in den Englischen Foren.
Wie ich eben festgestellt habe, findet sich keinerlei Hinweis, Erklärung oder Diskussion auf der deutschen Flickr-Version.
Aufgrund einiger Anfragen unter dem Deutschen "Black Day" - Foto deshalb hier einige Erklärungen in Deutsch für diejenigen, die die geplante auf uns zukommende Beta-Version nicht kennen.
Zunächst die Screenshots von Anuij Nair mit entsprechenden Erkärungen:

Es macht überhaupt keinen Sinn, die Augen davor zu verschliessen, dass mit der
geplanten Beta Version einschneidende Einschänkungen auf uns zukommen.
Wir hoffen, durch Protest mit "Flickr's schwarzem Tag" doch noch etwas erreichen zu können.
Bitte, ladet Euch das Foto oben auf Eure "eigenen Fotos" hoch und postet es entweder morgen als Information UND in jedem Fall am Sonntag auf Euerm Fotostream, ohne weitere Fotos an diesem Tag hochzuladen.
Die Einschränkungen sind gravierend:
Es wird keinen weißen Raum mehr unter unseren Fotos geben, der Platz für
einen Titel, eine Beschreibung des Fotos oder einen Link (Youtube etc.-Musik) zulassen wird.
Es wird nur einen schmalen shwarzen Streifen mit weissen Buchstaben neben dem Bild geben,
der den Augen wehtut. Darauf sind ALLE Möglichkeiten, zu interagieren zusammengepfercht.
Ein Kommentar wird sich auf 2-3 Worte begnügen müssen.
Maximal 4 Kommentare werden sichtbar sein,
Wir werden nicht sehen können, wer unser Foto gefavt hat.
Nur 8 von den Gruppen, in denen unsere Fotos zu sehen sind,
werden sichtbar sein.
Admin-Einladungen zu Gruppen werden nicht mehr sichtbar sein,
wir müssen sie unter "letzte Aktivität" suchen.
Sie werden nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr zu sehen sein.
Schlimm sowohl für Mitglieder als auch Moderatoren von Gruppen.
Es macht die Arbeit schier unmöglich.
Das Gruppenlogo wird nicht mehr zu sehen sein, lediglich det Text.
(auch bei Award Codes).
"Es scheint offensichtlich, dass Yahoo Flickr in ein anderes soziales Netzwerk für Tablets- and Smartphones-Nutzer
umwandeln möchte, die "Hi" oder "LOL" als Kommentar benutzen und von Foto zu Foto eilen. Werbung ist wichtiger geworden." Zitat Forum.

Supporters of the former Ukrainian Prime Minister and opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko carry a giant banner a with Tymoshenko portrait on it as they shout slogans such as 'Freedom for Yulia!' during a rally in downtown Kiev, Ukraine, 27 April 2012. About 2,000 protesters demanded Ukrainian authorities to release jailed Tymoshenko and to stop political repressions in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on 26 April had announced said his government would investigate alleged abuse suffered by jailed former Prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, as pressure mounted on Ukraine ahead of a European football tournament

Frankfurt Corona Protest 8.08.2020
Nach der großen Coronademonstration in Berlin hat die bizarre deutsche Regierung beschlossen, hart durchzugreifen. Obwohl die Frankfurter Coronaproteste im Gegensatz zu anderen Demonstrationen bisher immer friedlich waren, hat man ein großes Polizeiaufgebot in Bewegung gesetzt und die rechtswidrige Maskenpflicht bei Demonstrationen zum Anlass genommen, den Protestspaziergang zu stoppen. Selbstverständlich war kein Teilnehmer bereit, eine Maske anzulegen. Bei extremer Hitze (bisher heißester Tag des Jahres) und trotz der zahlreichen anderen Spaziergänger, die auch keine Maske tragen mussten.
After the big corona demonstration in Berlin, the bizarre German government decided to crack down hard. Although the Frankfurt corona protests, unlike other demonstrations, have always been peaceful, a large police force has been set in motion and the illegal requirement to wear masks during demonstrations has been used as an argument to stop the protest walk. Of course, no participant was willing to put on a mask. In extreme heat (the hottest day of the year so far) and despite the numerous other walkers who also did not have to wear a mask.

Drove out to Protestor Falls, The Channon a while back while I was home visiting my parents. It was started raining quite heavy after I got this shot so I didn't actually get to the falls but I find this shot very serene and relaxing.
I plan to go back and shoot the actual falls again soon!

One of several naked protesters outside BERR (The Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform) on London's Victoria Street yesterday. They were protesting about e-on's proposals to build a new coal-fired power station.
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.

On a sunny and rather chilly June afternoon, activists and protesters showed up near the front entrance of the Cook County Jail on California Avenue to call for the defunding of not only the police, "but the entirety of the carceral system that works to control, harm, and destroy Black and brown lives throughout Chicago and the entire country." The event was hosted by the Chicago Torture Justice Center and Black Lives Matter Chicago. After meeting in front of the entrance, well over 100 protesters on foot and most likely the same number in vehicles circled the correctional facility. Those walking loudly expressed their support for reforms to the justice system and for the inmates just behind the walls of the facility. The vocal expressions were supported by those in their vehicles blowing their horns as they took up the rear of the march and caravan.
