The headline is just a teaser for a 90 sec. clip (from July 25). Reasons for the slump acc. to ABC and the statements: high prices, less Canadians, b/c of tariffs, rethoric, Canadian way to fight back. After 18 trips over 20 yrs, not coming back. Europe has a lot to offer.

Collage of some European locations. A brick house in the hills of Cupramontana, Italy. The historic waterfront of Rovinj, Croatia seen from the harbor. Cobbelstone road between two rows of half-timbered houses in Stolberg, Germany. The southface of the Stubaier Alps with the Cima dell'Accla seen from Sterzing, Italy. The Via Giuseppe Garibaldi in Catania, Sicily with the black and white striped Porta Garibald at the end. A street with a bell tower at the end in the tiny hill town of Montebello, Emiglia Romagna, Italy. The Lago di Fimon seen from the top of the Monti Berici in the vicinity of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. Look towards the harbor of Greetsiel on the German northcoast (East Frisia) with the masts of the crabb cutter fleet sticking in the sky.

I am not sure that my little Summer is happy that the Gordon Setters stay for a sleepover.

My peak 80's arrangement (still own it + 2 turntables and a tape recorder; flat TV and DVD player were added around 2010). The Jacksons "Can you feel it" played from the tape machine still gives me goosebumps.

Image shows a HiFi System from the 80's, left and right to big speakers, a flat tv (2010?) in the middle, DVD (2010), CD player, ampflifier and a tape machine.

Tschuldigung, das Problem wurde viel früher erkannt u. die Fossil Lobby ist seit damals aktiv. Hier der Link zum Wikimedia Archiv für den Ausriß: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:19... Btw: das "Rentenproblem" hätte man auch spätestens beim Pillenknick erkennen müssen. Verschieberitis.

A woodpecker feeding his chick, pic taken through a glas door. There have never been as many great spottet woodpeckers (Dendrocopos major?) in my garden as there have been this year. #birds #gardenbirds #woodpecker #photography #nature #garden

A male great spotted woodpecker hanging on a the left side of a birdfeeder feeds his on the right side hanging chick by stuffing the food in the wide open beak.

Here are my Jack Russel "Lilly" born with the same condition, my carry-on dog until she passed away with 17 years old and her companion "Foster" a deaf English Setter. They loved their life despite their handicaps. And I loved them too. And I miss them.

Here a picture of the rare tin can otter, well known for their big bellies.

In just three weeks I will ride my bicycle up to Tavullia again.

I am the spring troll, hello everybody.

Roots of a fallen tree covered in snow with some young firs on top looks like the head of a mystic figure, maybe a troll, rising from the ground at the end of winter.

What a world, what can I say: the moon pretends to be Saturn. Where does this end? #moon #saturn #solarsystem #photography #planet

The waning moon at apporox. 75 % visible in a hazy photo with a thin cloud in front that makes him look like it could be Saturn. But ist is not.

This is a two-week-old hedgehog that my dog found on a gravel road when it was one week old. I kept it and raised it with the help and advice of a specialist. After it finished hibernating, I released my well-fed boy into the wild at eight months old. #hedgehog #rescue #animals #wild #nature

Oh sorry, I wanted to upload a pic that I took in Feb. I am sure you are correct with your mushroom. My text was all about the absent picture🙃. Here it is:

I can't help it, I really like this photo. #tree #trees #bush #branch #winter #photography #nature

Black & white photo of a group of bush-like trees in winter. The branches are intertwinded and look like a system of blood vessels ... if you have a lot of phantasy...

A black+White photo of a maybe 100 to 150 years old house in the center of a Sicilian town with two doors, the right one decorated with a lifesize picture of a football (soccer) player. House is 3 Stories high and looks quite a bit run down. But that gives it a certain morbid charme. In front of the house is a parked cargo car. The buildings right and left look equaly ancient.

The sun at noon through the fog without filter. Maybe the spots down left is dust on the lense, or I accidentially captured some sunspots. #sun #fog #fotography #cheese #nature #sunspots Lumix DMC FZ200, F/6,3, 1/1300, focal lenght 938mm, 1,8 x 58 Siocore photolens
