Oberschleißheim Regatta Course, built for Olympia Games 1972. Since 2013 there are ongoing discussions what to do with this construction that is apparently falling apart. Some want to demolish it, some want to declare it to historical monument, its fate is thus still open... I love this place so I would be very unhappy if it is demolished but no one asks me...

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
OH yes!
Tessa and the Sisterhood are inseparable
She was walking along exploring St Martin when the dude at the top of the stairs made suggestions about utilisation of her girly parts.
Naturally Tessa assumed that he was a Hollywood mogul offering a part and was making preparations to come across. But when it became apparent that the invoice wouldn't necessarily be honored, she kicked him in the balls.
Sic transit gloria mundi
and we will not forgive. the "short eyes" of this world must remember, we won't forget and we won't forgive until you are gone, baby, gone.

So what is next ?
Since #Blackout Tuesday I am asking myself this question over and over again.
What can I do as just one single white female from Holland ?
We all have to take a stand, take a stand and say Black live matters.
But then what ?
Posting a black field on social media won't solve the problem.
Protesting on the streets alone won't solve the problem as well.
It raises the very needed awarenes but the ignorant and stupid will still be hiding in their holes.
How to drag them out so they can be wised up ?
The past years the world is taking a turn.
All kind of movements becoming trending topics, captured in hashtags.

Get yourself educated the more knowledge the more understanding.
Step outside of your social intimate, likes based internet bubble.
The world is bigger then that.
See the world for what it is today, then deside what you want the world to be and take stand.
Speak out !!! Because being silance is no longer a valid option.

… They’re all mine !
The King of Bushy Park obviously didn’t get the memo about #metoo. To be honest, no one in his herd did :-)
Explored #27 on November 14th 2020.
Gestapelt. Großer Spaß mit Schuhen.

No, Till Eulenspiegel did not collect these shoes ;-) They were simply thrown out of our kitchen door and stacked on our terrace. Till Eulenspiegel is a well known joker from our region. He lived as a roaming rogue in the 14th century. Once Till made a joke with shoes: he collected 200 left shoes from the inhabitants of a village, threaded them together on a long band and climbed up on a tight rope. When he had covered half the distance high in the air, he dropped the shoes, one after the other, from that breezy height to the ground. There was sheer excitement! "Where is my shoe?" And there was a big brawl ...

Till Eulenspiegel ist ein sehr bekannter Spaßmacher aus unserer Region. Er lebte als umherstreifender Schalk im 14. Jahrhundert. Einmal machte Till einen Scherz mit Schuhen: Er sammelte 200 linke Schuhe von den Bewohnern eines Dorfes auf, fädelte sie an einem langen Band zusammen und kletterte auf ein gespanntes Seil hinauf. Als er die Hälfte seiner Wegstrecke hoch oben in der Luft zurückgelegt hatte, ließ er die Schuhe, einen nach dem anderen, aus dieser luftigen Höhe zu Boden fallen. Dort herrschte schiere Aufregung! „Wo ist mein Schuh?“ Und es entstand eine große Rauferei ...

Exposing for the highlights on a sunny day. Avoiding the horrid news. Slightly desaturated in the center of the thistle.
Thanks for looking. Staying reasonably sane by wandering around outdoors for as long as it takes. 2020?
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

I am white working class British woman who plays with gender, sexuality, race and culture daily in my photography in Second Life. I hope I always portray these images in a respectful way and will strive to continue to do so.

Our Daily Challange - GOLDEN LIGHT
This is a new title, so the comments will not necessarily reflect those feelings...
A blackwidow spider kills her man after the deed or if he makes any sudden moves.I don't wanna give women any ideas but......
- Bonjour, Madame, je voudrais deux pains complets, des « Fleurettes », bien cuits, mais pas brûlés. Je voudrais que la mie reste tendre…
- Et voilà ! Le pain complet, le pain qui plaît !
La boulangère jette les pains à côté de la caisse enregistreuse. Puis, les poings fermement appuyés sur le comptoir :
- C’est fou ce que les clients sont sensibles au « cuit » des pains !
- Alors que s’ils étaient sensibles au Q.I. de leur mie, on les taxerait d’antiféminisme… Vous voyez, moi, dans mon couple, si je veux maintenir la flamme, si je ne veux pas que ma relation s’encroûte, j’ai besoin que ma mie soit tendre… Au diable son Q.I.… Quoiqu’un beau Q.I., c’est toujours mieux...
- Vous parlez du « cuit » ou du Q.I., vous n’êtes pas très clair !
- Ah ! Il me semblait bien… Je vous ai mal comprise alors… Je me disais aussi, le Q.I. d’un pain…
- Vous n’avez pas l’air trop « esberit* », vous !
Elle me toise sans sourire.
- Sûrement que vous ne prendrez pas de brioche, je vois que vous en avez…
- Vous êtes dure avec moi ! Moi qui voulais vous complimenter sur ces magnifiques pains ronds, appétissants et dorés, là, juste derrière vous...
- Les miches ?
- Je crois que j’ai bien fait de me taire… Combien, déjà, vous ai-je demandé de « Fleurettes » ?
- C’est qu’il perd la boule, le Papy, je vous en ai mis deux… Ça fera deux euro trente…
- J’aime que vous me comptiez « Fleurettes »… Je peux vous payer avec la carte sans contact, je préfère…
- Sans contact, avec vous, je préfère moi aussi ; Hashtag MeToo, comme y disent maintenant... A demain ?
- Si vous l’voulez bien...
- Je veux mon neveu ! Bien l’bonjour à la mie !

Nikon D610 - Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AI-s
I knew before my sister told me that my teenage niece had been sexually assaulted. It was a lot of little things, along with a big dose of recognition. My sister told me she'd found out after seeing her daughter's post on Instagram: #metoo
I don't know if I was too busy, or not interested in Hollywood drama, or just under a rock - but I missed the whole #metoo campaign that resurfaced last October. It started years ago, then started again when actresses spoke out about having been sexually abused by the same man. Thousands of women all over the world responded, replied, posted - #metoo. My niece was one of them.
And as my sister told me everything she was dealing with as a mother - shock, horror, rage, trying to understand, trying to know what to do for her child - I listened and hugged. We cried. Then, for the first time, I told her what happened to me, what helped and what didn't, and that when or if it would make a difference, she could tell my niece in case she wanted to talk to someone who'd been through it.
I was a teenager too when it happened. I didn't tell anyone for years. There's been a lot of work and a lot of healing since then - and thankfully, I don't think about it a lot now. But as I sat there with my sister, I remembered that there's power in telling the story. In not hiding or keeping it a secret that no one should know because they'll think of you differently.
I wish with everything in me I could reach out to my niece and be there for her. I wish I'd seen her post and could just hashtag back. But I didn't - and she's not ready for everyone to know. I get it. She's talking to her mom, she's seeing a counselor, and she's starting to heal. That's what's important.
So for now, this is my way of saying what I wish I could. For my niece, and for anyone else who's there or has been there. Who we are is not what happened. It's not our fault, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I promise it won't always be the first thing you think of when someone touches you. There are great people and places that really help. It does get better.
And most of all - you are not alone.
