A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

"So much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow"
William Carlos Williams
When I walked the dog today, the wheelbarrow was gone. There's "no ideas but in things", but things just disappear. Meanwhile I know what the quote means to me and maybe what it means to others, but still I don't know how to translate it into German. Luckily I don't need to.
The point in translation and as well in photography is to make others believe you solved an equation, like a=b-x, but neither translation nor photography is like mathematics.
Still I try hard every day.
Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
'Blow off a little steam'
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!
When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!
Problem solved!
I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.
So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!
The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?
Worship will get you through the toughest times in your life because it shifts your focus from the problems to the problem solver.

There were many questions with my last post of the red bellied woodpeckers but this solves the problem everyone had. Such a wonderful pair and delight to photograph !
Wishing everyone a memorable Memorial Day and a Day we give thanks to the men who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We think of their families and friends and pray for them today and always !! Thank you !
Another shot from Mt Laguna up at the Milky Way. One day i'll be able to afford a camera that can handle higher ISO.
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feedback very much
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.

A couple of avant-garde characters on their way who-knows-where. I guess one of the advantages of masks for street photography is that everyone becomes effectively anonymous, which at least solves something of the consent issue. Although I wonder if the person looking up was annoyed, startled, or just curious.
