!DAILY UPDATES! August. 366 days: your 2016 in photographs

[Fons Baerken]

Yes we liked De Pont museum, it was a perfect day for it, we started early, it was getting quite busy when we left round 14:30.

I could not work out what this was.
And is the Hoheward slagheap as glamorous a location as the name sounds......?   

Yeah, an artificial mountain piled up from mining rubble.
Today a landmark and recreation park.
Georgeous view over the Ruhr area, where coal and steel industry had all the saying in the last 2 centuries.

See this link, and this link.

The dawn sky on 22 August 2016 says: "Welcome back to Bonn, Frank!"

Yes, poplar, from the underside, wind blew them up.

Thank you for the translation. A riddle obviously.

Thanks Frank, love the white laundry in combination with the white site of the leafs (poplar?) 

A poem which translates as follows:

Blind spot

What a man
sees in
these words!
it says
what it says
and not even that.
*Nick J Swarth - City poet

[Frank Fremerey]

Nice one!

Thank you!

Has anyone noticed my efforts period

We are not the Frank & Fons appreciation society. Most of us are not retired and on a tight schedule. We manage to fit our daily shot and some comments on the forum into that schedule, so we prefer to comment on shots that touch us, special shots, remarkable shots, exceptional shots.

Does someone notice? Look below you shots, see the counter there? In this very moment the counter on this page stands at 43. If you discount the visits of the participants this is not very much.

Love the reduction in this shot!

Thanks, Frank.  Hope you have enjoyed your trip.

Beautiful Akira, in it's mood and minimalism.

Thank you for the translation. A riddle obviously.

Well, a few remarks. As you can see from this angle the poem is still visible, it was designed to be visible from different corners. Secondly there are some letters missing, the i in 'Blind' and the 'e' in 'Zelfs',
On many occasions someone wrote 'e' in between 'zlfs'. It has to be cleaned many times in a year. 

Great sky of Bonn, Frank.

[Akira]

John, thanks!
