Viel Glück hatte ich an der Bastei. Hier wurde gerade ein Filmdreh durchgeführt. Es ist für die WAPO ELBE ein Teil gedreht worden. Die Serie läuft im MDR und diese Folge soll im Jahre 2024 ausgestrahlt werden.
Ein enormer Aufwand an Material und Zeit steckt dahinter. Schwere Filmkameras wurden an selbstgebauten Seilaufzüge in die Höhe transportiert. Kameramann und Assistenten hingen alle in der Wand. Spannend!

When you feel lost, don't demand clarity. Just ask for movement. Small steps count. Pauses count, breathing counts.
You don't need to know the destination to keep going; you just need to keep moving long enough for direction to return.
Uncertainty isn't a sign that you're failing; it's a sign that you're growing into a version of yourself you haven't yet discovered.
Trust yourself...the sky is the limit!
Happy Sliders Sunday! (HSS!)

Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Este mural, que reproduce una obra del pintor Manuel Losada, evoca la plazuela de los Santos Juanes a finales del s. XIX, en la que se encontraba la Casa-Palacio de la família Victoria de Lecea.
Bilbao (en euskera: Bilbo) es un municipio situado en el norte de España y una villa de dicho municipio, capital de la provincia y territorio histórico de Vizcaya, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco. La villa de Bilbao es la capital y única localidad del municipio, y con 346.903 habitantes en 2024, es la urbe más poblada de la comunidad autónoma, siendo la cabecera del área metropolitana de Bilbao, una conurbación de más de 1 000 000 de habitantes que se extiende a lo largo de la ría de Bilbao o del Nervión.
El municipio se encuentra flanqueado por dos cadenas montañosas, con una altitud media que no supera los 400 metros, y que forman algunos de sus límites naturales. Limita con Erandio, Sondica, Zamudio, Galdácano, Echévarri, Basauri, Arrigorriaga, Alonsótegui y Baracaldo.
Desde su fundación, a finales del siglo XIII, fue un enclave comercial que gozó de particular importancia en la cornisa Cantábrica gracias a los privilegios concedidos por la Corona de Castilla que permitieron el desarrollo de una gran actividad portuaria que se basaba principalmente en la exportación de la lana procedente de Castilla y en menor medida del hierro extraído de las canteras vizcaínas. A lo largo del siglo XIX y principios del XX experimentó una fuerte industrialización que la convirtió en el epicentro de la segunda región industrializada de España, por detrás de Barcelona. Esta estuvo acompañada de una extraordinaria explosión demográfica y urbanística que originó la anexión de varios municipios colindantes. En la actualidad es una pujante ciudad de servicios, que se encuentra en un proceso de revitalización estética, social y económica liderado por el simbólico Museo Guggenheim Bilbao.
El 19 de mayo de 2010, la ciudad de Bilbao fue reconocida con el premio Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, otorgado por la ciudad estado de Singapur. Considerado el Nobel del urbanismo, fue entregado el 29 de junio de 2010. El 7 de enero de 2013, su alcalde, Iñaki Azkuna, recibió el Premio Alcalde del Mundo correspondiente a 2012 que otorga cada dos años la fundación británica The City Mayors Foundation, en reconocimiento a la transformación urbana experimentada por la capital vizcaína desde la década de 1990. El 8 de noviembre de 2017, Bilbao fue elegida la Mejor Ciudad Europea 2018 en los premios The Urbanism Awards 2018, que otorga la organización internacional The Academy of Urbanism.

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries it experienced strong industrialization that made it the epicenter of the second industrialized region of Spain, behind Barcelona. This was accompanied by an extraordinary demographic and urban explosion that led to the annexation of several neighboring municipalities. Currently it is a thriving city of services, which is in a process of aesthetic, social and economic revitalization led by the symbolic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

Mi ero spinta sin dove finiva la bancbina, mentre attendevo il mio treno.
Tranquilli, volevo solo scattare una foto. Mi ha sempre affascinato il groviglio dei binari, il loro incontrarsi e dividersi in un gioco senza fine
A subterranean walkway at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is illuminated by Hayden's neon. The work, by Canadian artist Michael Hayden (1943- ), is entitled 'Sky's The Limit' and was constructed in 1987. Sometimes called "The Gershwin Tunnel", this somewhat bizarre walkway connects concourses B and C of Terminal 1, which is operated by United Airlines.
Truly a remarkable journey.......as one traverses the tunnel the sounds of Gershwin's 1924 musical composition of Rhapsody In Blue permeate the area. The sound is synchronized by computer with the color changes of the neon, for the final effect.
The effects in this photograph are the result of an image transformation application called "Prisma". Prisma transforms normal photos into amazing images that attempt to replicate the human artistic touch. This phone-based app turns photographs into digital art in the style of drawings, watercolors, and paintings.

More specifically, I've spent the last decade trapped inside the box that is my computer, with the limited means I've had to upgrade it and not knowing how or what upgrades to make to truly improve it. Blah blah blah, cry cry cry.
I make this post today because that's all finally ending. 6-7 years ago I upgraded my graphics card to the crappy one I've been using just so I could EVEN load SL at all, but it was never really an experience to enjoy. I was always trapped in bad sims, or small spaces, and if not for my BFF I'd of gone nuts and would've only been able to rise my own props in sandboxes that also lagged like hell.
Buttttttt, I convinced the IT guy at work to sell me his old card, which is at least a solid 4 times better than the one I've been using and I'm hoping that solves my issues. Maybe not forever, but at least so the pictures I take can look half-decent, and the shadows don't look pixelated LIKE THIS PHOTO! Like seriously look at my hand shadow, my HEAD's hairline! Yuck so bad. To even get those shadows at all pumps my machine for all the juice it's got, and half the time instead of the photo I get a crash, but regardless what's the point of using better viewers if my graphics card maxes out long before it gets anywhere close to where I want the photo to be.
So thank you Black Dragon viewer for showing me how fast I was hitting max capacity, which is long before I stopped pushing up those sliders, and showing me my crashes were most likely the fact I was probably putting my computer 3-4x over the limit. This "new" used card has 8 gigs, which may not sound like a lot, but it's a big upgrade from 2, and if it doesn't work then F it, I'll sell it and buy a better one later, but at least for now it'll stop the pain and hopefully stop the crashes.

After passing the truck with the wind turbine motor on it, twice, we left highway 10 and got on highway 62 for a short bit and stopped in the middle of the Wind Farm and waited on the side of the road for the truck to come by. Apparently it had a dinner date somewhere else, it never came by. As we waited though, I noticed a 25 mph sign next to where we parked. I believe it's for the wind turbines. I hear if they go too fast, they could actually pick up the entire Coachella Valley and drop us in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
View on black or I'll drop rocks on you as we fly by (I've got plenty of rocks now too)

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 165,521. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty-six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

Rouen (France) - Cette militaire, membre de l’équipage du tatsraad Lehmkuhl, bateau-école norvégien, utilise une garcette (petit cordage tressé) pour fixer la voile d’avant (ou foc), afin de limiter la prise au vent.
Cette opération n’était pas vraiment nécessaire car il n’y avait pas de vent ce jour là et surtout, si on observe bien, la voile était déjà bien arrimée. Cet exercice était surtout destiné à créer une animation pour le public à quai, venu admirer les voiliers de l’Armada 2023.
Autrefois, dans toutes les marines du monde les marins qui avaient désobéi ou commis une erreur se voyaient infliger des coups de garcette. Aujourd’hui, ce type de châtiment corporel n’est officiellement plus autorisée. Maintenant, allez savoir ce qui se passe quand le navire est en haute mer ?!
Rouen (France) - This soldier, a member of the crew of the Tatsraad Lehmkuhl, uses a lanyard (small braided rope) to fix the headsail (or jib).
This operation was not really necessary because there was no wind that day and above all, if you look closely, the sail was already well fixed. This exercise was mainly intended to create entertainment for the public at the quay, who came to admire sailboats of the Armada 2023.
In the past, in all the navies of the world, the sailors who had disobeyed or made a mistake received blows from the lanyard. Today, this type of corporal punishment is officially no longer permitted. Now who knows what happens when the ship is on the high seas?!
