"That's what the ox from the meat bridge could have told me" is used when an answer to a question is predictable or unsatisfactory.
"I might as well have told that to the ox on the meat bridge" means something like 'talking against a wall'.
Incorporate these two proverbs into your language from time to time and see which of your fellow human beings already know the story behind them. We're sure not too many
„Das hätte mir der Ochs von der Fleischbrücke auch sagen können“ wird verwendet, wenn eine Antwort auf eine Frage voraussehbar oder unbefriedigend ist.
„Das hätte ich genauso gut dem Ochs auf der Fleischbrücke erzählen können“ bedeutet in seinem Sinngehalt in etwa so viel wie ‚gegen eine Wand reden‘.
Bau diese beiden Sprichwörter doch mal gelegentlich in deinen Sprachgebrauch ein und schau, welcher deiner Mitmenschen die Geschichte dahinter bereits kennen. Wir sind uns sicher, nicht allzu viele
Katjenka said: "Show me a picture has particularly moved you on, a picture touches you from the bottom of your heart up to this night." I did it, and showed her this one from this year. "Now out with it!", these are her words.
It is from the days after the ascension, in a place of small pilgrimages. There were three of us and we ´ve had a good time. Yes, the weather wasn´ t our friend and played its own role. But there were things are much more important. May those times never be in question.
For the freaks: main thing was ColasRail BR232-408 owned by Skinest Rail A.S. and on left ID´s BR232-502 was still waiting for keep up her(!) load by / out of the yard.
This is the photo that started the conversation with questions that perhaps can't be answered. I've always liked and hated this shot. The larger Blue-eyed Darners are known to perch in a vertical position and, in 11 years, I've managed to capture just one of these three-inch beauties. It's funny that I was able to catch five of these in flight with an SX10 in 2010, but never just resting.
But the question came up, should I Photoshop all the grass out or would that be cheating? Opinions varied and still do. My problem was that I've never learned Photoshop, and although I think it's fantastic what can be done with the software, I also think there's a limit as to what changes can be made.
Besides, I have a mid-level software program which I use for some edition. Certainly cropping. Maybe a little contrast, but I rarely touch the color. Guaranteed that my Cardinal Meadowhawk is the brightest red you've ever or I've ever seen.
Over the years, I diddled with this shot. The only thing I could do is put a vignette around it, but that still left most of its habitat. I actually started the summer of 2019 trying to find another perched as this, but no luck. So, like it or not, here's my one and only Blue-eyed Darner Mosaic (aka, Mosaic Darner) in all its grassy splendor.
From the Richard Harvey Kitchen Studio.

I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.
Have a great Friday and weekend!
This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.
It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.
This is time for reflection.
Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?
Did I do too many panoramas lately?
Did I do too many infrareds?
Should I take more color shots?
Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!
Reflection shot in Steveston taken with my Fuji point & shoot again in the weekend.
My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And its fuel is the years
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond
Driving me down the road.
Ogni tanto mi piace usare il tele (200mm) per catturare i treni, l'effetto prospettico non è niente male ;-)
There is no question that southern Ontario has been pretty chilly as of late, but that is no reason to hunker down in your house! I did find my way up to Bruce Peninsula on a particularly brisk day last week, and as usual the park was a stunning winter wonderland! Get those snow shoes out and dress warm!

Adrienne gathered a few things, having no idea what might be needed or for how long. She pulled on her sweatshirt, her mind still swimming with unanswered questions.
“Who are they—the men that are after me… us?”
Kayla met her gaze, her expression serious. “I’ll explain everything soon. But they’re not men. They only look that way so they can be among humans can hide what they really are. They can look any way they like”
Adrienne swallowed hard.
“Then… what are they?”
Kayla hesitated, just for a moment. “They’re descendants of the Earth’s original inhabitants. In their true form, they’re reptilian—very dangerous, cunning, and completely ruthless.” She exhaled sharply. “They want the power the VDD gives us, but the device doesn’t work for them. They need a jumper—like us—to operate it.”
Adrienne’s pulse quickened. “And you said I was ‘one of us.’ What does that mean?”
Kayla’s focus remained locked on the window, scanning the street outside. “Forget everything you think you know about history and the story of mankind. Our ancestors arrived on earth millions of years ago—long before recorded history. You’re living in the fourth great civilization. But the reptilians… they control almost everything again.”
“You, I, are both are of the ancient bloodline of the Jahri.”, continued Kayla. “Only people like us can access the power of the VDD”.
Before Adrienne could process the revelation, both girls sensed danger. Then the sudden creak of the back door shattered the moment.
Both girls spun around.
“They’re here!” Kayla hissed. “Time to jump. Take my hand—just like before!”
And in an instant, they vanished.

This QM was the size of a Comma - but had the diagnostic question mark on its wings below. Black is their summer form - and they have that beautiful lavender trim.

This was taken at the famous feeder at the Virginia Lakes Resort, so high in the Sierras that Gray-Crowned Rosy Finches are frequent visitors. Cassin's finches are also known in the area, I've seen them at that very feeders, and purple finches also come to that altitude although I haven't seen them in that spot. So... I'm asking the experts - purple finch or Cassin's finch? The experts at inaturalist say "Pale male Cassin's", even the bird is lacking the usual bright red Cassin's "cap", but I'm still not sure.
Pine siskin on the right for scale.

Одно из самых популярных мест Санкт-Петербурга это музей квартира Достоевского. Этот район города до сих пор обладает магией экзистенциальности автора . И всегда найдётся тот вопрос ,который может поставить в тупик даже профессионального экскурсовода! В этот раз дух Федора Михайловича коснулся и фотографа…
"Хорошая фотография это знать где стоять» Ансель Адамс

One of the most popular places in St. Petersburg is the museum-apartment of Dostoevsky. In this area of the city, the magic of the author's existentialism has been preserved. And there is always a question that can baffle even a professional guide! This time the spirit of Fyodor Mikhailovich touched the photographer too...

Ansel Adams was quoted as saying, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”
This is one of my favorite butterfly photos due to its rare appearance. I have only seen this species in our garden in 2014, 2015, and 2019. Now, it seems that even the most common butterflies are rare to see.
A very weird unmarked sculpture in the Columbia Slough Wildlife Refuge, in Portland OR, shot with my holga and filtered through photoshop.
A colour edited Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley on Crosby Beach, north of Liverpool in Merseyside.
Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The figures, each one weighing 650 kilos, are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.
Having previously been seen in Cuxhaven in Germany, Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium, 'Another Place' is now a permanent feature in the UK, at Crosby Beach.
According to Antony Gormley, Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature. He explains: The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance. In this work human life is tested against planetary time.
This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body. It is no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving materials and manufactured things around the planet.

I have a question for any experts out there. Anyone with knowledge of lightning and atmospherics, and also anyone with working knowledge of camera sensors.
I took these two shots yesterday, more in hope than anything, Being lucky enough to have the Sony RX10 that shoots at 24 frames per second, I pointed at the sky across the street and held the shutter for a second. I got lucky and managed these two shots. Not very exciting looking, being daylight lightning shots, but I am intrigued by the difference in the two shots. They are consecutive frames 1/24th of a second apart. Bolt 1 shows up the brightest, and actually shows the lightning in its ground to air phase and the bolt is only half completed. Lightning bolt 2 shows the completed bolt all the way to the cloud, but is fading in brightness. The bolt itself was very close with barely a second elapsing between flash and the window rattling thunderclap!
My puzzle is the first shot that shows a purple halo around the upward end of the lightning, and a corresponding colour shift across the image in the sky below the top of the lightning.
I'd love to know is this just an issue with the sensor and its response to a sudden intense flash, or is it atmospheric?
My guess is the sensor, but I'd love to hear other opinions or experiences.
These two shots are both cropped heavily from the left half of the wide angle image, hence the slight distortion in the vertical lines of the house.
'Hey Syl, where did we put that experimental hyper drive? I can't find it in storage and its not on the list here either?'
'We put in in that external rocked drive for the space station, remember? To see if it would fit?'
'We did take it out again, right?
'Oh, uh, oops...'
The questions continue...
You might remember this little hole in a fence post at St Cyrus. A few weeks ago, I'd noticed a couple of male leafcutter bees on these posts, so on another visit I looked for nest holes in the posts, and was thrilled to find one occupied hole, but was then surprised to see that it was occupied not by a bee, but by a digger wasp (`Flick' back about 10 images in my stream). Since then, when I've been at St Cyrus, I've keenly looked in on the digger wasp as I passed; it was there every day I checked. Yesterday, after a break of about 6 days, I think, I was back and checked the post to find not the digger wasp but a cute bee in the same hole! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so this is a quick snap on my phone.
I'm curious about what's gone on here; could they both be using the same hole?; did the wasp move out naturally, and then the bee moved in?; did the bee evict the wasp?; is one a parasite?; are they both nesting?; was one or both using it as shelter?
I'm also not sure what type of bee this is. The leafcutters I saw (a few photos in my recent uploads) have now been kindly IDd by the expert Steven Falk, as one of the rarer leafcutters, the black-headed leafcutter bee (Megachile circumcincta). This could be a female (according to his book, they usually nest in sandy ground, but have also been reported to nest in wood), but that's a wild guess.
So much to learn :D
قبل لا الوحشه تزعزع بيتك الصلب وتبيده
بيتك اللي من رحلت وكل جدرانه تعاني
ماتحمل ينتظر شهرين وعيونك بعيده
الله العالم لو إنك جيت متأخر ثواني
ماتشوف إلا بقايا من حصاه ومن حديده

Our planet is need of balance. Balance of our use of it, balance of our dependence on it, balance of exploitation of it. Balance of its wildlife, its resources, its land, its sea, its air. It's all a question of balance.

through the looking glass
so I have some questions for you guys, I would really like to be more interactive with the people who follow my work so I was thinking, how can I make my stream and my work process more exciting for you?
I just want to show my appreciation and also make my work accessible and personable, not just something you briefly stare at and then veer away from. I want to give you more
I have some suggestions, if you think any of them sound interesting, let me know!
1. giveaways (who would say no to a giveaway though, I mean really)
2. group critiques via video chat or webchat, show works in progress, get input from other photographers
3. photoshop tutorials, free or reasonably priced actions (free is always better, of course)
4. before/after images
5. behind the scenes videos
if you have any suggestions or like any of these, let me know, I just want to love you guys, basically, and help you grow and let you help me grow and just become a big happy family
okay byeeeeeee
Le massif du Mont Blanc pris depuis la station de ski de La Clusaz
La Clusaz est située dans le département de la Haute-Savoie, en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
La station de ski de la commune naît avec des pionniers en 1907, mais son essor s'affirme à partir de 1955 avec la construction d'un téléphérique. D'où l'émergence d'un tourisme sportif (ski, randonnées, freeride, freestyle…), ce qui a permis le développement de l'hôtellerie, la restauration et des commerces.

“Hello Sky, I was looking for you earlier but could not find you.” Said Barnaby looking concerned.
“I have been with Ellie and have been talking to her. She doubted that I am a genius, I was shocked.”
“I can understand that Sky, every bear knows that you are a genius.” Said Barnaby. “But then she is an elephant.”
“What did she actually say then Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“She said that I could not be a genius until I had managed to answer some very difficult questions. I did ask her to tell me what they were but she refused and said she would do it later, then she immediately fell asleep.”
“Do you think you will be able to answer her difficult questions then, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear.
“I don’t know, Posh, Ellie is very clever but she does cheat at times. When we go to the moon with her, she lands on the wrong place and then because she does not know, she asks me where we are and the easiest way back home again.”
“Yes, she does that sometimes. Even the ellicopter has no idea where it is or even if it is the right way up.” Said Bertie giggling.
“Well, she is often sound asleep when we do land and we often do that backwards and downside up. I am surprised she is still allowed to fly.”
“Yes, me too.” Said Posh Bear. “You could always switch to asking her very difficult questions Sky.”
“True, but then I would need the answers and if they are very difficult, I might not know the answer.”
“Well, let me ask you a question then Sky. How many leaves are on a tree?” Said Posh Bear.
“Posh, that is a stinker of a question, I would have no idea at all.” Said Barnaby looking upwards at his friend and waiting for an answer.
“I don’t think I know Posh, more than three I would say, and sometimes they have no leaves at all, plus, I dare say it would depend on how big the tree was.” Said Sky.
“There we are then, Sky. You say you do not know but you have just given me three answers and they are all correct. It is highly probably there are more than three leaves to a tree, sometimes there are none at all when it gets cold, and as you so rightly pointed out it depends on the size of the tree.”
“Yes, I suppose so, I was rather clever, wasn’t I?” Said Sky looking surprised at himself.
“Indeed Sky, remember you should always just accept that there are some questions no bear can answer, but do not feel upset because you do not know all the answers all the time. Ellie is naughty being so mischievous and doubting you like that.”
“Yes Posh, I think you are right, Sky is still a genius, isn’t he?” Said Barnaby who never doubted his friend at all.
“Indeed, he is Barnaby. I am sure that there is no other bear that knows of more ways to acquire jars of honey when he is a touch hungry. I think even after your visit early this morning, Sky, I still have enough jars left for everyone to enjoy after the man has finished up here.”
“I am sure you have too, Posh. I have ordered extra to give you back those that I borrowed and they should be with us later today.”
“How many jars have you ordered then Sky?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, I am not entirely certain, my paws are much bigger than the thingies on the man’s composter that I order through, and I am not sure about numbers when they are above three, but I think there should be enough and a bit more. I aim for one of the numbers but with my paws I tend to hit several, so it will be a surprise again.” Said Sky smiling happily that the job was done.
