SK2813 off to Alicante at 14:25. My job: watch it leave, then spend the rest of the afternoon pretending I wasn’t watching. Fair to say I kept time by the jukebox of departures, one track at a time.

#FotoVorschlag: Nur #Fassade // Just a #façade Das ist nicht das Schloss, nach dem ihr sucht! Das ist das #PotsdamerStadtschloss, das heute nicht mehr die Brandenburger Kurfürsten, preußischen Könige und deutschen Kaiser beherbergt, sondern den Landtag von #Brandenburg. Sieht also restauriert (bzw. 2010-13 komplett neu aufgebaut) wieder aus wie ein Schloss, ist aber keines. Die Inschrift spielt auf René Magrittes Gemälde 𝘓𝘢 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 an, das eine Pfeife zeigt mit dem Schriftzug "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("Dies ist keine Pfeife"). // This isn't the palace you're looking for! This is #Potsdam City Palace, which no longer houses the margraves and electors of Brandenburg, kings of Prussia, or German emperors, but the parliament of the federal state of Brandenburg. So in its reconstructed form (it was in fact rebuilt from scratch from 2010-13), it may still look like a #palace, but it isn't one. The inscription alludes to René Magritte's painting 𝘓𝘢 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, which shows a pipe together with the claim "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe"). #PotsdamCityPalace #StadtschlossPotsdam #Stadtschloss #architecture #Architektur #Rokoko #Rococo #AlterMarktPotsdam #WindowFriday #FensterFreitag

Astronomical Clock, Messina, Sicily, Italy “The astronomical clock of Messina is an astronomical clock in Messina, Sicily, southern Italy, constructed by the Ungerer Company of Strasbourg in 1933. It is built into the campanile of Messina Cathedral. The mechanism was designed by Frédéric Klinghammer, with the artistic design based on plans by Théodore Ungerer. Parts of the design are similar to the Strasbourg astronomical clock. The idea was to restore the ancient astronomical clock of the old medieval bell tower of the cathedral of Messina, destroyed in previous eras. It was commissioned by the Archbishop of Messina Angelo Paino to mark the reconstruction of the campanile after the 1908 Messina earthquake, perhaps on inspiration of Pope Pius XI, who gave him a functioning model of the Strasbourg clock.[1] – Wikipedia https://welchwrite.com/blog/2026/10/14/clock/ Follow My Photos on Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/p/douglaswelch/1016008152518662441 #clock #astronomy #architecture #history #messina #sicily #italy #photography #travel

Un très bon article sur le paradoxe de la prévention : les incidents qui n'arrivent pas ne coûtent rien, donc la structure qui les a évité n'a pas de valeur et peut être sacrifiée. Comment l'éviter ? En identifiant les moments où ces incidents auraient dû arriver et en chiffrant leur coût potentiel. https://newsletter.resiliumlabs.com/p/the-prevention-paradox #architecture #organisation #paradoxe

Day 282 #365project A wee bit later than usual today. Just got back from a double feature: Other Mommy (fast paced and fun but the book was better) and The Craft (classic 90s nonsense... "We are the weirdos, mister.") But just about managed to hop across the way from the cinema beforehand to squeeze in a couple of shots for today's 365 challenge. Edited in the car on the way home. Et voilà! #Cymru #Wales #NorthWales #Conwy #ConwyCastle #unesco #medieval #medievalarchitecture #gothic #gothicvibes #moody #history #townwalls #castle #castlewalls #birds #twilight #dusk #bluehour #goldenhour #travel #travelphotography #wanderlust #architecture #Architektur #photography #Fotografie #amateurphotography
