Geschüttelt. Nicht gerührt.

Actually one should translate the catchphrase in German like this: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... which makes a completely different sense ;-)
I found the following a little interesting:
No other drink in book and film history is as famous as Bond's Vodka Martini. The agent licensed to kill has a very precise idea of how to mix this cocktail. The saying "Shaken, not stirred" is one of the most famous movie catchphrases of all time. Bond reaches for the glass on various occasions and in changing company. He drinks his vodka martini ice-cold, but without ice. So ice is put in the shaker, the vodka martini is shaken and finally the ice is filtered off. The name of the drink also causes further confusion: Martini is a very well-known vermouth brand, but Bond drinks his vodka martini entirely without this wine-containing ingredient. And James Bond wouldn't be James Bond if he didn't have an ace up his sleeve: Biochemists from the University of Western Ontario have found that the shaken variant with wormwood is healthier. In addition to the additional oxygen, it also contains more antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals.
- - - Well then ... cheers ;-)
I think my two virtual living room lights are having fun. And the mood goes with a drink, right?

Eigentlich müsste man das Zitat im Deutschen so übersetzen: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... was einen ganz anderen Sinn ergibt ;-)
Ich fand folgendes ganz interessant:
Kein anderer Drink der Buch- und Film-Geschichte ist so bekannt wie Bonds Wodka Martini. Der Agent mit der Lizenz zum Töten hat eine ganz genaue Vorstellung davon, wie dieser Cocktail zu mixen ist. Der Spruch "Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt" ist eines der berühmtesten Filmzitate aller Zeiten. Bond greift zu den verschiedensten Anlässen und in wechselnder Gesellschaft zum Glas. Er trinkt seinen Wodka Martini eisgekühlt, aber ohne Eis. In den Shaker wird also Eis getan, der Wodka Martini wird geschüttelt und schließlich das Eis abgefiltert. Der Name des Getränks sorgt zudem für weitere Verwirrung: Martini ist zwar eine sehr bekannte Wermut-Marke, dennoch trinkt Bond seinen Wodka Martini ganz ohne diese weinhaltige Zutat. Und James Bond wäre nicht James Bond, wenn er nicht noch ein Ass im Ärmel hätte: Biochemiker der Universität Western Ontario haben festgestellt, dass die geschüttelte Variante mit Wermut gesünder ist. Sie enthält neben dem zusätzlichen Sauerstoff auch mehr Antioxidantien, die den Körper vor freien Radikalen schützt.
- - - Na denn ... Prost ;-)
Meine beiden virtuellen Wohnzimmerleuchten haben Spaß, glaube ich. Und die Stimmung passt zu einem Drink, oder?

liquidambar bobble and some of the tiny seeds that came out when i shook it (the pod is about 2 cm diam., less than an inch, and the seeds like bits of crushed pepper).
Shaker by Heather Jansch at Sculpture by the Lakes.
Heather Jansch (1948 – 2021), was a renowned British sculptor whose lifelong passion was to achieve mastery of the equine form.
Her pioneering use of driftwood as a medium was frequently copied, but rarely rivalled.
Heather spent many years perfecting the complex translation of her original driftwood works into bronze, establishing a technique that often made them indistinguishable from the original.

Hancock Shaker Village
[From the archives 2015].
Today, the 750-acre Hancock Shaker Village operates as a living-history museum open to the public with 20 authentic Shaker buildings, rich collections of Shaker furniture and artifacts in rotating exhibits, a full schedule of activities and workshops, a mile-long hiking trail and picnic areas, store and cafe, and a working farm with extensive gardens and heritage-breed livestock.
Evening light hits the side of Derwent Edge, with Dovestone Tor in the distance beyond the "Salt Cellar". I loved the streaky Cirrus clouds behind the rock pedestal, which seemed to highlight this distinctive rock outcrop nicely.
The light remained pretty good late on and we got a good sunset, which was a treat, particularly for the two Flickr pals Pete and Ade who were both recuperating their fell fitness.

Unnamed Falls
Shawnee Run Creek
The Preserve
Shaker Village, Kentucky
5 Image HDR
I've known about the unnamed waterfall in The Preserve on the grounds of Shaker Village for years now but since I'm rarely in that area I've never made the trip there. Located about 20 miles south of Lexington, Kentucky it is absolutely worth the trip and online research played a big part in the timing to pay this beautiful place a visit. After viewing photos of the falls online I saw an image where the sun set behind the falls, meaning late afternoon will be the prime time to stop by. So with a day of full on sun forecasted for Sunday we mulled around Frankfort, which is about an hour away, before heading down. From what I can gather, this is a spring fed waterfall as the water comes directly out of the hillside a foot wide then spreads out to 30 feet as it reaches Shawnee Run Creek. Many years ago an old mill sat opposite the falls, named Fulling Mill, the remains of the foundation are still visible. I really loved the setting of this falls, and I really wanted to get a bit closer but the water, although only two feet deep, was moving quite quickly and photographs from the water would have been difficult. Now that I've been here, I can't wait to come back, with a little less flow on Shawnee Run Creek and get up close and personal with this little known beauty.
