Nordnorwegen, Arktis, Nigeria, wo ist hier bitte der Zusammenhang ?! Auf dem Bild sehen wird ein Gerüst wie man sie überall auf den Lofoten findet, ein Gerüst auf dem im ausklingenden arktischen Winter Fisch getrocknet wird. Dieser sogenannte Stockfisch hat danach kaum mehr Restfeuchte, bis zu 80 % Eiweiß und ist vor allem lange haltbar. Eine nordnorwegische über 1000 Jahre alte Tradition. Einheimische essen gerne Stockfisch, Touristen kaufen es als Souvenir, aber, man glaubt es kaum, 99 % der Produktion gehen nach Nigeria. Wie kommt das ? Ende der 1960er Jahre erklärte sich ein Teil Nigerias unabhängig, Biafra. Nigeria unterdrückte dies mit Waffengewalt und isolierte die abtrünnige Region, was zu einer verheerenden Hungersnot führte. Viele europäische Länder starteten trotz des Beschusses von MiGs und Iljuschins Hilfsflüge. Norwegen schickte damals seine „Stockfisch-Bomber“. So ist das Land auf seinen Geschmack gekommen. Stockfisch ist heute elementarer Bestandteil der Nigerianischen Küche.

Northern Norway, the Arctic, Nigeria, what is the connection here?! The picture shows a scaffold like the ones you find everywhere in Lofoten, a scaffold on which fish is dried at the end of the Arctic winter. This so-called stockfish has hardly any residual moisture afterwards, up to 80% protein and, above all, has a long shelf life. A northern Norwegian tradition that is over 1000 years old. Locals like to eat stockfish, tourists buy it as a souvenir, but, you wouldn't believe it, 99% of the production goes to Nigeria. How does that happen? Late 1960s part of Nigeria, Biafra, declared independence. Nigeria suppressed this with armed force and isolated the breakaway region, which led to a devastating famine. Many European countries launched relief flights despite being attacked by MiGs and Ilyushins. Norway sent its "stockfish bombers" at the time. That's how the country acquired a taste for it. Stockfish is now an essential part of Nigerian cuisine.

(Sorry Legacy wearer's this is an old release)
When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring. Madeleine M. Kunin

There's roughing it type of camping and there is camping with essentials. I will admit that when it's cold and rainy outside, the latter suits me just fine - as it did here when we were on our way back from Atlantic Canada last month and camped in an oTENTik.
On March 5, 2020 I was visiting my son at King of Prussia, PA. We went to lunch at Broadcasting Square in Wyomissing, PA. Along the building where we were eating I found nature to be budding. I whipped out my IPhone 11 Pro and started to take photo images. I would come back later and take more images with my Canon Rebel. I thought these taken with my IPhone were worth posting first. Photo Images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP&Designs). Images made be used in my designs of wearable art and home essentials.

Todays challenge for the daily shoot was, What tools do you use and appreciate on a daily basis? Make an interesting photo of one such tool today.
Well I considered taking a shot of some of the tools out of my toolbox I keep in my office, but then thought about it, there really for decoration as I do not do hands on tech work any more so when I thought about it I had to get a shot of these, Not sure I appreciate the blackberry, but I am addicted to it and would be lost without my android Nexus one cellphone
Of course beingme I slipped in a little bit of reflection
Update on Dr's visit, it went well, not likely i will need surgery, it sees the problem is something I have had all my life, basically my knees are deformed and my knee cap doesnt sit where it should, so I start on Physical therapy on Monday twice a week for 6 weeks which hopefully will alleviate or ease the issues I have had

Get your essentials from the street hawker, and let's take in some of the places and things that are essential for any first time visit to China. Be warned though, that you will be dragged through merchants' stores where high pressure selling of over priced knock off rubbish is almost impossible to avoid. Capitalism is alive and well in Communist China. I refused to enter these establishments on my second visit; I hated these places.

In late 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic, Montana Rail Link wrapped their SD70ACe no. 4404 in this special scheme honoring Essential Workers. Unfortunately, after five years of service in and out of the tunnels of the line, the bold, patriotic look of the unit has acquired the same drab look of a stereotypical Southern Pacific unit.
Regardless of its appearance, when I heard that there was "an" MRL unit outside of the Topeka Shops, I ran out to photograph it, even if it was buried mid-consist. The fact that it was THIS MRL unit made it even better!
It may not look great anymore, but its cool to see these MRL units in my neighborhood, and I hope that the rumors of its PTC installation are true. That being said, lets not lose track of the message of this unit in that there were a lot of people back in 2020-21 who continued to go out each and every day doing yeoman's work to keep this world going, and good on 'em.
And can you imagine that Mother Nature showed me her pink side today too
Pink is my love color number 1
I love wearing my pink glasses
It should be normal to have this essential gift in everyone's life, but it isn't like that
Some has lots of it and others have none
Some doesn't feel worthy and some has enough with themselves
When I first got the taste of love I knew I would perish if it had somehow stopped
Now I know I will cope, I'm putting my EvaTude on and know I have become even stronger since last time
Why should love stop in my life
There are many reasons
But for me it is if a
Relationship stops
And that happens from time to time
But I will cope, always
