Die Haseldorfer Marsch ist ein größtenteils sumpfiges oder sogar nasses Gebiet direkt an der Elbe. Die Folge ist, dass sich in windstillen Nächten viel Bodennebel bilden kann, der für Frühaufsteher bei Sonnenaufgang noch zu sehen ist.
The Haseldorfer Marsch in Schleswig-Holstein is a mostly wet and swampy landscape near the Elbe river. In Consequence appears many ground fog in the summer nights when it is windless, which can see during sunrise.
In the corporate world we are always encouraged to raise our hands when we see something wrong or unethical going on. Not everyone in the corporate world does I'm sure, but if everyone did that this would be quite a different place...

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Berlin Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. In front of and behind the manor, the original design of the gardens was carefully restored. That is why you won't see any animals in this part of the enormous premises of the Animal Park. But you'll find plenty of them at a short distance.
The choice to move from war artist George Lambert’s self-assured self-portrait, and this dramatic painting of a returned veteran from the Afghan war is deliberate on my part. So is the choice of black and white. Colour tends to mesmerise, and here I want you to focus on all the elements in my composition. At the top left hand corner the face of Brett Whiteley appears to be taking a peek at the naked soldier in Ben Quilty’s stunning and moving 2012 portrait of Captain “S”. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/what-lies-...
The Brett Whiteley cameo is from his own triptych which we’ll come to later. But Quilty’s choice of thick paint (you must enlarge this) applied with a palette knife creates a disturbing sense of a body that is at once still alive, but also in many ways already a corpse. There is no doubt here that contemporary war artist Ben Quilty is addressing head-on the issue of PTSD and the depravities of this pointless modern war.
Another artist I highly recommend in this regard is Quilty's colleague in Afghanistan, George Gittoes. Listen to him tell these incredible stories: www.youtube.com/watch?v=714QAXRllp4
Gittoes' book, "Blood Mystic", is truly an example of how art from war zones can change lives.
Remember the ignominious end of the Aghan war recently with the clumsy American withdrawal? Well guess who’s back in power in Kabul now? It was clearly Vietnam 2.0, and like then, our government followed the USA down this ridiculous rabbit-hole, all in the name of keeping the Military-Industrial Complex making profits (a term coined by the conservative President and former General Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s as he tried to warn us of what was happening). Don’t get me started on 9/11.
Let me be completely inflammatory now, since this is the only weapon I have to fight these Masters of War (that Bob Dylan so wonderfully eviscerated!): The war in Ukraine now threatens to escalate to World War 3. You are aware by now I hope that the US Congress has spent over $100 Billion on Ukraine already in what is clearly a proxy war with Russia. Where have we seen such a proxy war before? Well Vietnam of course. History repeats and the casualties of war include not just the innocent civilians, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who die, and those like Captain “S” who return home the living dead, spurned as lepers by their own country and many taking their own lives. It’s a damnable disgrace!
Am I angry? You are damn right I am. There’s a special place in Hell reserved for those who profit from war. As Dylan put it so magnificently when he wrote about Vietnam (but really every war):
“Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks…
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.”
Another consequence of the lack of having safe water available locally is the instability of villages. Every dry season, entire villages migrate with their livestock to find water. Such migration prevents the establishment of schools, health clinics, markets, and a general social infrastructure.
The challenge is enormous to those of us who uphold the sanctity of human life and the moral imperative to provide water to the thirsty. We must drill wells in local villages in Sudan. Fresh water is absolute requirement for a community's health. It is a stable developmental platform on which a community can build its future. It is, in short, life.
Water for Sudan is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring fresh, clean water to the people of rural southern Sudan. With our new and improved drilling equipment, we now aim to drill up to 40 wells per year. As of August 2008, we have drilled 29 wells and provided over 80,000 people with uncontaminated drinking water.

Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.
A reminder of war consequences.

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.
The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."
last weekend we had quite foggy days - so here one of the consequences ..
Well so - back on flickr - after Ipernity decided to shutdown its services, just hope to find as much people from IP here - it was really kind of family there. On the other hand I am glad to meet all my old contacts and their photographies - it was impossible to share my small amount of spare time between those two communities (and flickr was/is blocked at my company) - so this was finally the reason why I switched to Ipernity.
The consequences of the Coronavirus have inspired me to build this LEGO model.
In Denmark where I live, people had to work at home. Kindergartens and schools had closed, so people had to work and look after their children at the same time.
We cannot visit the elderly at their homes, but some people had played songs for them in front of their windows and balconies.
We cannot cross the border. At the airports the airplanes are parked. And all LEGO events are cancelled.
There are very busy at the hospitals. Every day people die. And we have all learned to keep distance from each other.
A quick look through my stream of images will show that whether they are the main subject of a photo or part of a vast indiscernible landscape, trees are a major theme. Until today, I didn't realize how well represented and important to my photography and overall enjoyment of my life they are.
Trees have amazing character and live is some of the harshest and most beautiful environments on the planet. These two reside on the cold, wind blown slopes of Mt. Hood near Timberline lodge.
I love this image, because well....it's all about the trees.

Sometimes mans interference with nature is actually beneficial. Fish running thru the underwater turbines of this dam often stun or injures the fish, making them easy pickings for the migrating eagles as they pass thru in late Fall.

On its way to Duple at Hendon for extensive body corrosion rectification. The use of unprotected square section steel body fabrication had disastrous consequences for Duple and NBC and its subsidiaries pressed for rectification of all its vehicles fitted with this bodywork between 1977 ans 1984. This cost Duple its longstanding reputation and eventual demise.
El Albayzín (also Albaicín or El Albaicín) is a district of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, that retains the narrow winding streets of its Medieval Moorish past. It was declared a world heritage site in 1984, along with the more famous Alhambra.

[Sept. 2007] The sky and clouds had been so amazing all day Wednesday -- with a seemingly endless parade of puffy white forms that would gather, gossip and then go on their way again. So when the magic hour finally came, and the light turned that delicious golden color and the shadows grew dark and long, Katrina and I hopped on our bikes and took off for the playa with our cameras. Along the way we grabbed Ryan (aka www.flickr.com/photos/ryanicus) & Kristie, who were camped nearby at Pleasure Garden, and off we went in search of...well...truth. :)
Is there such a thing as truth, truth in pictures? I think maybe there is. I'm not sure what kind of truth it is, exactly, but I think it's there...to be found, or teased out. Or something. Or maybe my head is just full of playa dust...
