kann im Hilton ein Baku-Besucher, der Wert auf Folgende Kleinigkeiten legt:
"Dieses Hotel am Meer liegt 8 Gehminuten von der Altstadt von Baku entfernt und bietet eine drehbare Bar auf dem Dach, einen Pool und ein Fitnessstudio. Freuen Sie sich auf Zimmer mit einer fantastischen Aussicht über Baku und das Kaspische Meer..."
Abgesehen davon, dass die Preise für unsere Verhältnisse zwar nicht billig, aber durchaus erschwinglich wären, würde ich das Etablissement nicht empfehlen.
Warum?
Weil hier der nahezu einzige Ort in der schönen Stadt am Kaspischen Meer war, wo mir das Fotografieren schon vor der Eingangstür untersagt wurde ;-)

Raccontava un amico che molti anni fa questi monti erano coperti di boschi. Furono tagliati per fare coltivazioni a terrazze, che procurassero cibo alla popolazione.

To him, all problems have the shape of a nail and since he's got the big hammer, he thinks, he's the ideal guy to get peace deals. "Gimme de peace price - or else! Losers and low life forms anyway", he shouts. "Who do you think you are? I'll take you to court and have you for breakfast!", the over-aged toddler crows. "Don't mention Obama," says mum, "give him the Nobel Price and let him play in his corner." And the toddler smiles in his corner and hammers the peace to pieces. Leica M8, Elmar 4/135, at F16.
Ho veduto solo una volta
un sole così insanguinato.
E poi mai più.
Scendeva funesto all'orizzonte
e sembrava
che qualcuno avesse sfondato
la porta dell'inferno.
Ho domandato alla specola
e ora so il perché.
L'inferno lo conosciamo è dappertutto e cammina su due gambe.
Ma il paradiso?
Può darsi che il paradiso non sia
null'altro
che un sorriso
atteso per lungo tempo,
e labbra
che bisbigliano il nostro nome.
E poi quel breve vertiginoso momento quando ci è concesso di dimenticare
velocemente
quell' inferno

La cathédrale Storkyrkan est située au Trångsund 1 sur l’île de Stadsholmen de Gamla Stan, à Stockholm, la capitale de Suède.
Une vue vers l’est à partir de la rue Storkyrkobrinken.
La cathédrale de Stockholm, aussi connue sous le nom de "Grande Église", est vieille de 700 ans et fut construite vers 1279 et consacrée en 1306. Au Moyen Age, elle était la seule église paroissiale de la ville. C'est de là que partit le mouvement réformateur protestant, qui sera adoptée sous le règne de Gustave Vasa (1523-1560). L’extérieur fut agrémenté d’une façade baroque et d’une tour lanterne dans les années 1740 afin d’harmoniser l’édifice au palais royal tout proche. Aujourd’hui elle accueille les cérémonies royales.
L’œuvre d’art la plus remarquable de cette église est certainement l’extraordinaire groupe du 15e siècle représentant saint Georges terrassant le dragon, monument qui commémore la victoire des Suédois sur les Danois (le dragon) à la bataille de Brunkeberg en 1471.
Littéralement « la vieille ville », Gamla Stan est à l’origine de Stockholm, il y a plus de 700 ans. Ce quartier au passé médiéval date du 13e siècle et on y découvre avec bonheur un patrimoine riche et préservé. Gamla Stan s’étend sur 3 îles qui forment une frontière naturelle entre le lac Mälaren et la mer Baltique. Stadsholmen est la plus grande île, abritant le château royal et la cathédrale. À l’est, vous trouverez Riddarholmen avec son ancienne église, la nécropole des souverains suédois, et au nord, l’îlot de Helgeandsholmen où se dresse le Parlement. C'est le quartier touristique par excellence mais on ne peut pas visiter Stockholm sans explorer cette partie emblématique et pittoresque de la ville.
Stockholm, la capitale de la Suède, est située sur un vaste archipel de la mer Baltique, comprenant 14 îles et plus de 50 ponts. Les rues pavées et les bâtiments de couleur ocre de Gamla Stan (la vieille ville) abritent la cathédrale de Storkyrkan du 13e siècle, le palais royal de Stockholm et le musée Nobel, consacré au prix Nobel. Des ferries et des bateaux de tourisme transportent les passagers entre les îles.
A seemingly important discussion is taking place in the heart of Stortorget (the Grand Square), a historic public square located in Gamla Stan, the old town at the center of Stockholm, Sweden. Stortorget is home to the Stock Exchange Building (Börshuset), which houses the Swedish Academy, the Nobel Museum, and the Nobel Library.
Could they be talking about the next Nobel Prize laureates?
Düsseldorf
Der Breidenbacher Hof in Düsseldorf liegt zwischen der Königsallee und der Heinrich-Heine-Allee mit dem Hoteleingang auf der Theodor-Körner-Straße und grenzt direkt an die Altstadt. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich die Deutsche Oper am Rhein, das Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus sowie die Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalens K 20.
Eine Übernachtung kostete Ende 2023 durchschnittlich 500 Euro, das günstigste Zimmer 350 Euro. Die Zimmergröße reichte von 41 qm bis zu Suiten von über 400 qm, die in der Spitze 14.000 Euro pro Nacht kosteten. Ab dem Sommer 2024 ist ein kompletter Umbau mit einer durchgreifenden Modernisierung des Interieurs vorgesehen, weg von Gold, Leder und Mahagoni.
This beautiful desert plant from Mexico was first described scientifically by William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) in 1856. It had been long neglected - more than half a century - at the Kew Gardens, as Hooker writes, and had come into their possesion through the good offices of Jacques Philippe Martin Cels (1740-1806) of Paris, self-taught botanist who during the French Revolution had lost his job as a tax collector.
It was 'rediscovered' by Charles Christopher Parry (1823-1890), a botanist and mountaineer, and Edward Palmer (1829-1911) during an expedition into Mexico in San Luis Potosi. Their herbarium specimen of 1878 is still extant. You can see a picture of it on the Tropicos website. But live is always better! Here it is in Amsterdam's fine Hortus Botanicus.

A thank you for perseverance and the pursuit of peace, regardless of the circumstances.
Under a cold wind and with just enough time for work, my flag waves proudly from my exile in a land I love so much.
"There is no path to peace, peace is the path." - Mahatma Gandhi
Un agradecimiento a la constancia y búsqueda de la paz sin importar las circunstancias.
Bajo un viento frío y con el tiempo justo para el trabajo ondea con fuerza mi bandera desde mi exilio en una tierra que quiero tanto.

Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony for Malala and Kailash is today in the Oslo City Hall.
good morning, herr doktor, how are you?
my boy! isn't it marvelous? I've won the greatest prize of all!
you mean a Nobel prize?
better! I've won the far rarer and more prestigious Ig Nobel prize!
Ig Nobel? great! I guess. what did you win for?
for my revolutionary demonstration that the problem of illegally parked luxury cars can be solved by running them over with an armored tank!
yeah, I remember that experiment. it was so. . . groundbreaking. caused a bit of a stir in the neighborhood too.
indeed!
I preferred your experiment for advising colonoscopy doctors how to minimize the chance that their patients will suddenly explode. that was. . . illuminating.
yes, if somewhat messy. but never mind that! we must celebrate!
sure! with champagne?
actually, I thought we'd sweep up in the lab a bit.
you think it needs it?
maybe a little.
