Woldan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 BIG artwork of Salzburg - one of my countries most famous cities- made entirely of little pieces of tiles, 1553. The castle called ''Feste Hohensalzburg'' (Stronghold high-Salzburg) on the hill still exists and is now a huge museum. The Stronghold now (not my picture) 4 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oh, I forgot to mention, you never guess where this artwork was hanging! In a *drum roll* underground parking garage! The poor artist... I was just walking through the exit when I found that mosaic hanging on a wall there and I was like DAFUQ is this doing HERE? I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

LadyCrimson Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Stupid neighbor's by-fence huge tree + wind. There's a big branch on the lawn, too. PG&E came out this morning (their wires/poles, their problem) tried to knock it down with a pole. Didn't work. Coming back tomorrow. They already cut back a lot of the lower overhang last year. Guy said the whole tree should be massively topped off this time. Seems like they should do that from the neighbor's yard tho...this is an old construction neighborhood (1950's) but since the power/phone/cable etc. lines are in the backyards along the fence-lines, people shouldn't have giant trees near them. Hard to get a big person-lifter or whatever in the backyard to deal with it, vs. the street. “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) There are lot of those big Libellula depressa (flat bodied chaser) and their larva in my garden, they're really pretty.

LadyCrimson Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ooo....nice macro! I see the odd dragonfly around our yard, probably from the bay marshes ... but they don't sit still long and usually are up high. I think when they show up in our yard, they're hopelessly lost. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not sure, they're too flitty for me to get a good look. Brownish. But with all the Bay marshes and grassy hills there are a lot of types around here I think. Like the big orange bodied ones, to the tiny blueish ones. “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Tiny blue-ish ones? Sounds like the Ebony Jewelwing, they're incredibly beautiful and are usually found at streams and rivers.

Woldan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Congratulations on your stupidity. Dragonflies don't just look pretty they also absolutely love to eat mosquitoes and horseflies by the dozens. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Next time you get stung by mosquitoes or bitten by horseflies think about that. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

LadyCrimson Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I find insects fascinating, used to study them a bit. Obviously I don't like crawlies in my sheets, in my hair, my food/drink, or in my pants, but as long as they don't have deadly bites or something, I'm cool with leaving them alone as long as they're not causing me constant trouble (like termites or mosquito's/fleas or ants in the house might....). Not technically insects, but I love spiders. Jumping spiders especially. World needs more jumping spiders. They are too cool. 1 “Things are as they are.

obyknven Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Actually i hate European-style cities. Too urbanized, too overpopulated, too tight. Meanwhile my hometown looks like wood with comparison to them, and you not too often encounter citizens on the streets, it's looks like life after zombie apocalypse and i like this.
