Un très bel orage s'était abattu sur le sud de Gembloux en Belgique, pour faire cette photo, nous avons pris la voiture pour aller près d'un grand champ et prendre cette formation nuageuse très particulière.
Strom ist bekanntlich die Bezeichnung für etwas Fließendes - z.B. Elektrizität oder Wasser. Durch die auf dem Bild sichtbaren Leitungen fließt elektrischer Strom von einem nahegelegenen Kraftwerk u.a. zum Aluminiumwerk Voerde-Emmelsum, und im Hintergrund rechts dreht sich ein Windrad, das umweltfreundlichen Strom produziert. Der See im Vordergrund hingegen hat mit dem Rhein-Strom zu tun, der ca 1 km weiter am Horizont dahinfließt. Das war aber nicht immer so: bis 1270 floß der Rhein genau daher, wo sich jetzt dieser See befindet. Nach einer Hochwasserkatastrophe hatte er sich damals einen neuen Lauf gegraben An dieser Stelle verblieb noch ca 400 Jahre ein Altrheinarm, der aber im 18. Jh. schließlich verlandete. So gibt der See, der sich nach den anhaltenden Regenfällen der letzten Monate bildete eine Vorstellung davon, wie es hier vor einigen Hundert Jahren ausgesehen hat.
Gegen den Strom trotzen die Steine Tag ein, Tag aus und werden über die Jahrhunderte immer runder.

merino wool, inspired by the pattern on the high street in Stromness, Orkney

The ship is the St Ola which was the Scrabster to Stromness steamer from 1951 to 1975 when she was replaced by a car ferry. She was eventually scrapped in 1987. Her owners were the North of Scotland, Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Company usually known as the North Company for short. They became a subsidiary of Coast Lines in 1961 and were taken over by P&O in 1975.
A J Arthur Dixon postcard dating from the 1950s to judge from the cars. I can see a Morris Traveller and they came out in October 1953.
Stromness streets are very small and narrow. As a result people are only allowed very small bicycles.
Speaking of bicycles, my colleague across the desk at work, ended up chatting to the one and only Sir Chris Hoy this afternoon, winner of six Olympic Gold medals, and armfuls of World Championship titles. We were importing a bicycle for him and wondered if he would have enough of a sense of humour if we first delivered a box with a bicycle like the one in the picture to him to see his reaction. A couple of years ago we exported Dario Franchitti's first 'car' a go-kart he used to drive around the farm at the age of seven or something, for him to be presented with as a surprise before the Indy 500. He was four time Indy Car Champion and three time winner of the Indianapolis 500. When he retired we brought his favourite cars back to Scotland too. We're just pretty extraordinary freight forwarders dealing with ordinary people
