A colourful and comical saga spanning four generations, related by Belmondo, the boy who becomes a gypsy king, and constructs his own village, “Shanghai”, against the rise and fall of the Yugoslav Republic.
Shanghai Gypsy is the most expensive Slovenian film ever made, involving the creation of huge sets near Maribor for this acclaimed adaptation of novelist Feri Lainscek's greatest literary success, and drawing on acting and musical talents from across the region. Some of the film’s sequences were also shot in Trieste, Italy. Shanghai Gypsy won Best Film at the South-East European Film Festival, Paris, in 2013
The film screening was introduced by director Marko Nabersnik (Best Screenplay Award, World Film Festival, Montreal) and Visar Vishka (Best Actor, FestFilmKosova), and followed by a Q&A session moderated by BBC broadcaster Phillip Bergson.

365 Project - Day 348
“Oberfinanzdirektion” - a quintessential German word. Comically long, denoting a hyper bureaucratic institution that roughly translates to regional finance office. Today’s architectural shot housed said office from the mid 1950’s to 2009. It is such a perfect example for Germany’s 1950’s functional, getting-things-done architecture, that it has been designated as a protected site of historic interest. It is, however, also contaminated and beyond renovation efforts, which means it’ll be torn down in the near future. I shot it during the Golden Hour which brought out the graffiti and the facade’s colours nicely, but the dynamics where still to intense for a normal photograph so I once again had to resort to a tone mapped HDR.

About
What’s a wombat? Wombats are one of the oddest-looking animals you’ll ever see! Native to Australia, the comical animals look like short, stocky bears. But wombats are really marsupials, related to koalas and kangaroos. They are either sandy brown or grayish black to blend in with the landscape and avoid predators. The sturdy wombat is most active in the early evening and at night.
There are three species of wombat: common, or bare-nosed wombats, which have a bare nose; and two species of hairy-nosed wombats that have, well, hairy noses! The common wombat has coarse fur and short, round ears while the hairy-nosed wombats have soft fur and much larger ears. Although wombats look cute and cuddly, they tend to have a short temper and can become very aggressive if they feel threatened.
Can you dig it? Well, wombats can! Wide, strong feet with large claws make the wombat a master at “digging it”! From the burrow, they create impressive tunnels underground that lead to sleeping chambers. They dig with great zest and energy, moving up to 3 feet (1 meter) of dirt in a single night. The burrow usually has one entrance but then branches out into several tunnels that can reach up to 650 feet (200 meters) in length. The common wombat remains fairly solitary in its burrow home, but the southern hairy-nosed wombat often shares its home with up to a dozen other wombats.
Habitat and Diet
A mighty rear end: The common wombat is the most numerous and widespread, living in forests along the eastern coasts of Australia and in the island state of Tasmania (part of Australia). The two hairy-nosed species live in the dry grasslands of northern and southern Australia. Unfortunately, two formidable predators inhabit the same areas: the dingo and the Tasmanian devil.
Wombats walk with a waddle. They may look pudgy and slow, but they have powerful legs and can run up to 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers per hour) when needed! If threatened, a wombat dives headfirst into a tunnel, blocking the entrance with its sturdy backside. Wombats have a tough rear end with extra-thick skin and a teeny-tiny tail, so a bite to the backside is not much of a threat. They have been known to crush intruding animals against the hard walls and low ceilings of their burrows.
Like kangaroos, wombats spend most of their time grazing. They use their rodent-like teeth and very strong jaws to grip and tear food such as grasses, roots, shoots, tubers, and even tree bark. A special stomach gland helps wombats easily digest the tough food.
Wombats don’t need much water, getting most of their needed moisture from the plants they eat. They are often seen grazing at night, when their coloration helps them blend in, but they may also feed during the day if it’s cool and cloudy.
At the San Diego Zoo, the southern hairy-nosed wombats are given Bermuda grass, yams, carrots, dandelion greens, spinach, and turnips to munch on.
Family Life
Wombat females give birth to single young, called a joey, every two years. Like all marsupial females, the wombat has a pouch—but it opens toward the mother’s rear, rather than toward her head. This keeps dirt from filling up the pouch when the mother wombat is busy digging!
When the joey is born, it is the size of a jellybean and not completely developed. It must crawl from the birth canal into the mother’s pouch and attach itself to a nipple. The joey doesn’t even try to peek out of the pouch until it is 6 months old, and it stays in this pouch for 9 to 10 months of age, growing and getting all the nourishment and warmth it needs there. The youngster continues to return to the mother to feed until it is 12 to 15 months of age.
At the Zoo
The San Diego Zoo received its first wombat, a common wombat, in 1927. We have had four southern hairy-nosed wombats born here over the years, starting in 1998. The proud parents were Kindyerra, whose name means “grass” in the Australian Aboriginal language, and Kambera, whose name means “father.”
Conservation
In 1906, the Australian government declared wombats pests and encouraged people to kill them. From 1925 to 1965, some 63,000 wombat skins were redeemed for cash. Fortunately, this practice has stopped. Today, although the common wombat and southern hairy-nosed wombat populations are more stable than that of the northern hairy-nosed wombat, all three species face an uncertain future. Land clearing, habitat competition with cattle, poison bait set out for rabbit control, drought, road deaths, predation, and disease are all ongoing threats.
But the northern hairy-nosed wombat is in danger of becoming extinct. Currently, there are just over 100 individuals, all found in Epping Forest National Park, located in eastern Australia. Grazing sheep and cattle, as well as a long drought, have reduced the grasslands the wombat needs to survive. Dingoes killed a good number of northern hairy-nosed wombats in 2000, but in 2002, a fence was built around the Park to help protect this wombat species from predators. It is hoped this will help the wombat make a comeback.
In February 2009, bushfires raged through Australia’s state of Victoria, charring more than 1 million acres. Millions of Australian animals—including wombats—perished. San Diego Zoo Global helped to support wildlife rescue and rehabilitation work after the deadly bushfires.

121/365. ODC - Comical. Having difficulty in finding inspiration for my 365 lately. Just sat in the kitchen to think, and this guy was just asking to be photographed. I had just glued him after dropping him in the sink. Hopefully my son doesn't notice. :)

Comical expression caught on my niece whilst doing some pics of her. A keeper for sure as it will come in handy for birthday cards or parties when she is older.
These crows were so comical to watch, especially at breakfast when unsuspecting guests put their bowls of cereal down on their tables to go and get some juice then wonder how their bowls emptied when they returned. most definitely a very intelligent species. This subspecies C. s. protegatus is found in southern India, the one in the Maldives is sometimes separated as maledivicus.

Torture Tues: You know how I can't stop laughing when someone gets hurt in a comical way??? Well, I'm STILL chuckling as I replay Nica P's AWESOME tumble today HAHAHAHHA... Hairy Hannah came ripping down the hilly trail to greet Nica P and when she got to Nica P, her leash got tangled in Nica P's leg and Nica P went airborne!! I am sooooooooooooo bummed I didn't get that one on video!!! But you know??? Because Nica P is so fit and strong, she just got right up and we all had a good laugh!!! If she weren't in shape, she would have been laying on the dirt for a very long time hahhahahaha!!! And come to think of it, Aloha G took a tumble tripping over Ellie-G yesterday ... not to mention my epic face plant into the cement when I tripped over the uneven surface of the sidewalk as I was racing Wailee in the dark...if we weren't in shape, it would have not been so funny!! Another reminder of the great benefits of staying healthy!!!
Another thing I missed on video....Wailee chasing geese/ducks towards the pond...we thought she was going to stop at the shore but my coyote jumped into the water and then had a look on her face like, "Uh ohhhh...." hahahha....after a moment of thought, she put those kangaroo legs into action and sprung up and BOUNCED/Hopped/Pranced back to shore!! I'm pretty sure the geese/ducks were laughing thinking, "You got your bachi!!"
Anyways, it was another awesome Torture Tues...After our 1 Mile XC Warm-Up, we did Arms/Legs/Cardio then Abs/Paddles.

Did a 2 hour sugar figure course. Ended up being having to make a wedding couple (or start one).Decided to make my groom comical. The body broke on way home as wasn't supported properly (didn't learn that part so well!) Designed his hair all on my own! I was pleased with the result!
I am getting hungry for big inexpensive bags of high-sodium potato chips. Haha this windowlessness is comical.

The typical comical, frantic, jerky feeding behavior of this egret usually allows it to be identified from a great distance off even though you cannot discern any of its field marks. The jerky motions are best described as spastic! It's my favorite large wader to watch trying to secure a meal. I usually try for stills of this feeding behavior... but it likely the coverage would be more arresting as a video.

From a series by Hirokage that satirises Hiroshige's views of Edo of the same period. A man slips over in the snow whilst crossing a bridge and his wooden shoe flies off and hits someone on the head.
So the other day I was idly scrolling through ikeafans.com and came across an article featuring the Lillangen series, made for folks with comically tiny bathrooms.
Hey! That's me! *I* have a comically tiny bathroom!
My house's comically tiny bathroom came with a pedestal sink that I didn't hate, but was merely "meh" about. Not really my style. Problem with it was that it allowed for ZERO STORAGE, which can bite me. The price on the tiniest (16"!) Lillangen sink and vanity was low enough to launch me into a frenzy of google searches like, "remove pedestal sink" and "modify P-trap" and other fascinating topics. I took apart the old sink in about ten minutes and was soon on my way to Ikea. Again.
Bye bye, archetypal Home Depot middle American bathroom sink. HELLO DINKY AIRPLANE SINK! YAY SWEDEN!

Kind of comical how the millennial generation wants out of the suburbs of cookie cutter boxes on cul-de-sacs, so now cookie cutter towers with Starbucks and Whole Foods/Trader Joes/Fresh Thyme/(Insert Name)Co-Op are all the rage.
