“The Great Translation Movement” ： twitter.com/tgtm_official
This is a group of young Chinese people who risked their lives to set up their own website for Chinese instant brainwashing news translating from Chinese to English, they have all been banned in the Chinese sphere of influence, they are often threatened by the officials, one volunteer translator has disappeared for many days.
An online anti-war movement launched during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seeks to expose pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-Japanese, anti-Western, and racially discriminatory sentiments in China by translating government propaganda and anti-western public opinion found on the Chinese internet into other languages, including English, Japanese, and Korean. Through such a movement, the participants aim to invoke the conscience of the Chinese People.
I hope that western friends pay more attention to them.🙏
Fly across the globe got a flight to catch tomorrow
I've been in Rome next I'm flyin' to Sapporo
Look out the window of a plane and I'm in sorrow
Explore the city then i'll fly back to Toronto
I've got a layover I'm lost up in translation
The jet lag hit me in a morning couldn't face it
I took the red eye so I'm sleeping for a day man
My phone get service when
The plane touch down on pavement
Gullfoss (translated to ‘Golden Falls’) is one of Iceland’s most iconic and beloved waterfalls, found in the Hvítá river canyon in south-west Iceland. The canyon walls on both sides of the waterfall reach heights of up to 70 metres (230 feet), descending into the great Gullfossgjúfur canyon. Geologists believe that this canyon was formed by glacial outbursts at the beginning of the last age.
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?

The mystery of Lake Gormire is that it has no major inflow or outflow of water, baffling people who wondered how the lake was fed. Modern scientists believe the water supply comes from an underground spring, but hundreds of years ago it’s existence was magical. Gormire translates as ‘filthy swamp’ and It’s dark appearance gave rise to several myths, including that it is bottomless and conceals the submerged remains of a sunken village. At least the deepest lake in Yorkshire. The lake is also known as the White Mere.
Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 at F8. Our furniture is a kind of bricolage - bits and pieces from different places and often relating to particular stories, lives re-arranged and expressed through our eclectic interior, a composite entity just as my mind is. Therefore, should it be true that the outside is a reflection of the inside, then this should also hold for my hobby, photography. I am not creating anything when making images. I am re-arranging what I see. Different from, say, a painter, I do not create something new. I am actually interpreting or translating what I see. Most of the time, that is. Sometimes, I design something and then take the picture. Usually, however, I am looking at things that are already out there and then give this a visual expression. Basically, I am a translator. And I am keenly aware that there can be very fine and also less convincing translations.

Translated from Dutch Wikipedia page about Doorwerth:
In the 1970s, newer parts were built in which an attempt was made to integrate high-rise buildings and residential houses with nature. The urban planner Van Embden made this idea concrete by creating a strict separation between living, recreation and traffic, entirely in accordance with the CIAM concept. Strips of forest have been preserved between the buildings. The streets are also not directly adjacent to the buildings, so that anyone who moves through Doorwerth is constantly walking, cycling or driving through the forest. This gives the residents the feeling of living in the forest. Unlike in an open landscape, it is not noticeable that people live in an area with a lot of human activity.
Where I live we have 39 days with wintertime.
In Norwegian it's called Mørketid and straightly translated to English it would mean "dark time".
In my opinion thats a very bad choise of words, the light and colours are magic for some hours until the darkness arrive again.
Have you experienced wintertime ?

So after getting a sense of gradually becoming creatively bankrupt (I had no idea what to do description/name wise about my last post), I began to try to look for a new angle. I ended up stumbling upon the works of Liam Wong, and his stellar edits. He's a game designer that takes Tokyo night shots, and boy does he have a vivid imagination. So I thought about what I could edit to be a little bit more like his futuristic shots.
I had yet to upload a shot from this location after all this time so I figured with this new inspiration I could do this. The word "circuit" in the name could translate to electricity and a race cause both fit the intended context of this composition. Sakura street in Shibuya has it's own lighting event that requires event staff to control foot traffic like Meguro River's sakura lighting. Most images have a wall of paper lanterns along the roadside, but this year they moved it closer to the main road where it proved far more frustrating to attempt to shoot. It didn't take long before I realized I shouldn't compress the street cause I was shooting from the side and had a lot to work with, so I put away the 200mm and began experimenting with the regular wide angle. I circled this street twice and settled for this angle. When no cars were coming by I took the capture. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to make the signs more visible beyond their illumination so I just lowered it's highlights to help people not see it. The subject is the street itself and the trees. The trees were more pink than purple initially, but like I said, I had a clear vision for this one, I needed more vibrancy. Maybe posting 6 days a week is starting to get to me at this point, cause I'm genuinely running out things to talk about, not just about Japan, in general. I need to reignite my own imagination as that's the primary reason why I enjoy doing this.
The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

According to many European old maps, the river is named as Menam or Mae Nam, the Thai word for river (Me or Mae is "Mother", Nam is "Water"). The name Chao Phraya is a Thai feudal title, which can be translated as General or Lord. In the English-language media in Thailand the name is often translated as River of Kings.
The cities along the Chao Phraya are Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, listed from north to south. These cities are among the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand precisely because of their access to the waterway.
A big thank you to Mr. Wiki.. :-)
========================
La Chao Praya (thaï แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา), ou Ménam Chao Phraya, est le plus important fleuve de Thaïlande après le Mékong et la Salween. C'est aussi le seul à couler entièrement dans le pays, dont il constitue encore aujourd'hui l'axe majeur de transport et de commerce. Il se forme au confluent des rivières Ping et Nan et s'écoule vers le sud pendant 372 km, avant de se jeter dans le golfe de Thaïlande. La vallée de la Chao Praya est une grande région productrice de riz.
Le mot Ménam signifie « rivière » en thaï : ce mot est formé de deux éléments : me signifiant « mère » et nam « eau ». Chao Phraya est un terme honorifique thaï, que l'on peut traduire approximativement par « seigneur des eaux ».
Non loin de son embouchure, la Chao Praya traverse Bangkok, où avaient lieu de fameux marchés flottants que l'on ne trouve plus guère qu'en dehors de la ville comme à Damnoen Saduak (80 km de Bangkok).
Merci Mr. Wikipedia.. :-)

"We have not a single honest poem, that has not lost its virginity in a ruler's Harem
We grew accustomed to humiliation
Then what is left of man, if he is comfortable with that?
I search the books of history, for men of greatness to deliver us from darkness
I search for men of yesterday, but all I find is frightened cats
Fearing for their souls, from the authority of rats..."

Photograph from a recent trip down to London and visited The British Museum. Besides all the amazing treasures on show there, there is also the marvellous architecture to view.
The main atrium area is a real beauty for a photographer, leading lines everywhere, no matter where you look.
A black and white conversion was certainly on the cards for this image and the great smooth blue sky outside translated well in the conversion with lovely graduated tones.

R is for Rear Window: the classic film directed by one of my favorites, Alfred Hitchcock. A thrilling taste of voyeurism, telephoto lenses, and romance between an invalid photographer and a piece of the Upper East Side's upper crust.
I thought of this shot about ten days ago, and have looked forward to it ever since. I really wanted to have a shot that was clearly inspired by one of my favorite directors and/or films, and I had great success doing it with Lost In Translation. But what sealed the deal with Rear Window was the fact that my stepfather had foot surgery and is in a cast/boot thing for six weeks. Pretty fortuitous ... plus, Jordy already did Psycho (props to him for making it funny and getting away with it), I am not even close to being able to have a scene from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, or No Country For Old Men and, well, those covered my favorite films by my favorite directors. I mean, okay. Yeah, I could have done the last two with a lot of time and effort, but it's not my fault the letter 'R' fell on a Monday I had work and two doctors' appointments!
I don't liken myself to Grace Kelly at all, and not just because she's blonde and infinitely more beautiful and royalty, (though those don't help) but because she is much more ladylike and, well, graceful. So ideally, this shot would be without me and in my place, a blonde and/or evidently graceful woman. However, I don't have either of those at my disposal; I was going to use my mother, since it felt a little weird (in theory) to be the Grace Kelly to my stepfather's Jimmy Stewart, but I got over it -- all for art's sake! :)
p.s. It's grainy for the old film feel -- but maybe it would be better without. Any thoughts??
p.p.s. two stills from the original movie: one and two

Jökulsárlón (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjœːkʏlsˌaurˌlouːn]; translates to "glacial river lagoon" is a large glacial lake in southern part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. Situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding in the late 19th century. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. The glacial front is now about 8 km (5.0 mi) away from the ocean's edge and the lake covers an area of about 25 km2 (9.7 sq mi). In 2009 it was reported to be the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 284 m (932 ft), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries.[2] The size of the lake has increased fourfold since the 1970s.
Jökulsárlón has been a setting for four Hollywood movies: A View to a Kill, Die Another Day, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Batman Begins, as well as the reality TV series The Amazing Race. In 1991, Iceland issued a postage stamp, with a face value of 26 kronur, depicting Jökulsárlón.
