I have stood within 12 meters of an F-1 Tornado on the ground.

Fuji Film => Kodachrome

 

[chattius 2,527]

Kodachrome -> Ilford

Most of my photos were with the Leica M5 I got from grandpa and Ilford monochrome film.

There was an exhibition at Leica in my birthtown Wetzlar. Guess what, pictures Lenny Kravitz took with his Leica were monochrome too.

There is something special to monochrome. Devoloping in cour own(?) darkroom is way easier and cheaper than colour. 36 shots (12 with a 6*6cm two-eyed Rolleiflex) make you think before shooting. Modern digital cameras shoot 12 pictures a second. When you come back from a celebration you have often 1000 photos you have to look through. So in the end 36 shots developed in a darkrom may be even faster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_of_the_Light_Brigade

One of my ancestors and his brothers were in the Kings German Legion. One fought in the Battle of Garcia Hernandez. A very similiar attack, but with luck on the side of the attackers. A dead horse was falling into a carree, opening room in the line of bayonets.

Napoleon faile heavily in attacking carrees at Waterloo.

Settlers from Braunfels founded New Braunfels in Texas. The founder of Fredericksburg lived in New Braunfels but was born in Dillenburg in Germany.

My birthtown was Wetzlar, my older sister was born in Braunfels, now I live near Dillenburg. All three towns belong to the distric Lahn-Dill. What to say, it is the most beautiful place in the world

I only know Luz-Saint-Sauveur close to the Col du Tormalet. And it isn't known for downhill but one of the hardest uphill passages of the Tour de France.

 

St Sauveur -> Winterberg

 

Just across the state border, 25 minutes away: ski jumping, bobsleigh and skeleton tracks,... in summer bicycle downhill below the ski-lifts. Our second was really really good in it till an idiot opened a car door without looking and she crashed into it on the way back from school. 4 years with more or less skin and scar surgeries.

 Winterberg -> Spring time!

Its here... and getting warm and toasty!

[chattius 2,527]

spring time -> birds

Need no alarm clock , since songbirds of different species start to sing at different times in morning. Common redstart starts 80 minutes before the morning red, starling 15 minutes, ...

Do you know that many small songbirds reduce their brain in winter, they delete brain parts needed for singing and sex. Poor birds. But they build them up again in spring. Some of them grow more parts needed to remember feeding places. Brains of songbirds are interesting to perhaps cure dementia.

Myself I refuse to run but walk quickly with open senses. 30% of energy goes to the brain, so I prefer to burn calories with my brain and not with my monkey legs which are too short for my size after a viral disease in my main growing age.

Article how certain brain parts shrink or grow dependant on season.

Nauru -> Drachenhöhle / dragon cage

Because of a shortage of fertilizer in WW1 due to sea blockades bat-guano was mined from caves. Some 30000 remains of cave bears, cave lions, cave wolves and even tools from stoneage people and their remains were found while digging for bat-guano in this cave.

The bats in the bunkers at work produce some guano too. It is 'harvested' - or better cbunker leaned from smell-once a year in a two hour action while the bats are out hunting. Yes one of the boni at our company isn't money but bags of :eek: ...
