RE: Mystery and Silhouettes!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Oh, I have been there this morning before the people and when I was on my way back down to the valley they were driving upwards - many, many cars. I was so glad, because I had the dam wall for me alone 😁

Next time I will go for a little hike to waterfalls there.

The road is only open from 7 in the morning, so sunrise shots are not possible, and from November 1 it is completely closed during Winter, so I might not be able to get there again this year, but I'll try.

Yeah I figured that you would do that and great that you had the place to yourself for a while.
Those waterfalls sounds very interesting.

Now here's my question; That place might be iced or even snowed up during winter and the weak winter sun might play lovely colors on it on the odd occasions that it shines through.

Surely you as a member of the police ministry and a photographer can get a permit to go in there?
If you can then I can seethe most wonderful sunrises and even sunsets there!

Guaranteed if I lived there I would make a bid noise to get a permit, even up to prime minister level.

Cheers and thanks!

No way my friend, a closed road means a closed road, but you can walk up there at any time at your own risk 😉
In winter the snow will be meters high and avalanches happen every day, so nobody would risk to allow somebody in a family van to drive that road 🙄
Actually I was thinking of hiking to one of the first waterfalls which are not too far up the mountain ;)

Oh, you see? I didn't know about the dangers and then best that you stay away when it's closed Hannes.
No need to go and look for trouble.
I hope that you will take a safe route to get to that first waterfall friend.
My concern is that you are bit like me and it will not just stay there, as you will also go to other places where you shouldn't go lol.

Cheers and thanks!

Hi Zac,
now I have time for my replies ;)
We have had a nice hike yesterday with quite some rain in the beginning and a very cloudy sunset which was not great, but I haven't seen the photos yet.

I always take safe routes at first, but then I see something better somewhere else and have to look what it is ... and sometimes I go too far into unknown terrain that I have to search a safe way back 😂 lol

Cheers and !BEER

Hi Hannes,

Good, as yesterday I had a bit of a lean time with the replies, as I thought that I would get much less than normal. But thankfully it was not too bad.

Cloudy sunsets are the best in my opinion, as one can only take so much of clear sky sunsets. The clouds always bring in artist opportunities.

So, you got a bit wet at the start of the hike but it sounds like it ended well my friend.

That is exactly also my own problem, as getting back from an interesting foray is always a problem. I had just this a few days ago when I climbed up a high mound.
The grass covering it was wet and in the coming down part I slid in some parts on my bum lol. Imagine walking around with a wet bum and I felt like a baby again hahaha.

Cheers and thanks!

No, this sunset wasn't good because the Clouds were Deep over the horizon and covered the sun. There have been only a few gaps which showed a bit of an orange color tone for a few minutes before the whole horizon and sky was gray.

Haha, I can imagine how you felt 🤣

My worst "hike" was last year when I thought to know a better and more interesting way to a mountain lake in Slovenia, because on "my" way there was a waterfall too. The waterfall was cool, but after an hour climbing straight upwards a slope I stood before a vertical rock face and had to search for a path down to the start. In the end I took the regular path and my hike ook 6 hours instead of 3 😂lol
But I have seen a beautiful old grown mossy forest which I will visit again one day 😃

Yes, it can certainly be frustrating when the clouds don't play the game lol.
You see a great shot, get your camera setting right and then when you look up another cloud has covered it!

That's a great problem and they call it moving about on unfamiliar territory. I have also made may of those mistakes where a "short cut" ends into a "long cut" hahaha.
That mossy forest sounds like a place to be lol.

Cheers and thanks!

Oh no, there was no frustration, because it was quite clear that there might be no sunset, since the clouds have all been very low all day long, and in the evening they just grew more and higher.

It was fun anyway and I have found this forest, so although I got a bit lost it was a bit of success 😊

Yeah, I know what you mean as you expected it Hannes. I have the same when the clouds cover the full moon and one simply accepts it.
Would that be the mossy forest that you were talking about in another comment?
I suppose you guys must have quite a few forests there?

Cheers and thanks!

But you said that you saw a mossy forest near that dam wall and I thought that was the forest where you guys went for a hike?

Oh, I can't remember that I have said such, but it's true. Right in the forest where the first waterfall is there's the ground thick overgrown with moss and it's very fluffy - I felt like walking on a cozy bed 😉

Now how would I remember it if you can't remember it ? A trick question lol.

I think that moss lends a certain character to a scene and it's always great to look at it.
Maybe when you go there again you must try to lay on it, but then again maybe not, as one never knows if there's spiders or some other little monsters in it lol.

A friend told me yesterday that he sat on a fallen log and when he stood up, his pants was full of ants lol.

Cheers and thanks!

Mossy and foggy forests are something I love in autumn, but I have never tried to lay down yet.

Well, there's always a first time for everything and you can even put a small pillow in your backpack to lay comfortably. Trouble is that you might fall into a deep sleep and wake up at 12 that night to see Cinderella or her uncle with his axe hahaha.

Yeah, we had much fun with red ants in the army , the ones that bite lol.
They don't call them soldier ants for nothing and many guys jumped around when you drop a red ant down their shirt collar when they are sitting at the mess table lol

Cheers and thanks!

Haha, I even have a small pillow with me in my backpack. It's inflatable and I use it to sit on not so comfortable grounds ;)
But falling asleep would really be a problem, because who would take my photos? Maybe Cinderella or her uncle?

We have red ants here too, they bite and it hurts, but ours are not called solder ants, so their bite might not be as bad as the bite of your ants 😉

Now there you go and an inflatable pillow is even better.
I think your best bet would be for Cinderella to take the photos, as if her uncle gets hold of you, then you won't have to worry about photos ever again lol.

Oh man, you will really know about it when one of those red little buggers bite you. Feels like sharp little stings that will make you jump around trying to slap yourself on the back if the ant is dropped down in your shirt at the back hahaha.

Cheers and thanks!

I would prefer Cinderella too and I might even buy a bigger pillow 🤣

Ours hurt a bit, but not bad. Aren't their bites somehow healthy like bee stings?

Oh? A bigger pillow? Yes, I forget, but I think a bigger pillow for your back problems? hahaha.
No bite from those things are healthy and if a bee stings me I end up in hospital.
But maybe it's healthy for mountain goats. lol

A bigger pillow for me and for Cinderella, of course. There are no back problems when she's nearby 🤗

My father in law was a beekeeper and he hasn't been ill one single day in the over 25 years I have known him. I don't know how it is with other insects, but bee stings are healthy in my eyes, if you're not allergic, of course 😉

Hahaha, I thought that you would come up with something like this 🤣
Now may I discreetly ask about what you would do with Cinderella in your dreams?

Well they say that after a number of bees have stung one, that the person becomes immune to the bee sting poison. I don't know how true this is, as 3 has stung me thus far and every time I ended up in hospital with a drip in my arm.
Maybe your father in law knows something that we don't?

Cheers and thanks!

Well, I always forget my dreams when I wake up, so I couldn't tell you that I really have done with her what I wanted to do. So I believe it's better that you don't know 😂

You must be allergic. To me a bee sting is not much more than the sting of a mosquite. Well, of a large mosquito of course 😉 I was stung by quite a lot of bees in my life, as well as by wasps and also by a hornet which I wanted to help, but she didn't think so ;)

Hahaha, I also think that it's better that I don't know, as maybe it could influence me to start to have the same dreams hahaha.

Yes, I am allergic and we have special allergy pills in case of an emergency. The stings of the wasps are something else and apart from that lovely burning sensation at their sting, I am thankfully not allergic to them.
One stung me five times on my chest and the swelling made me look like Samson hahaha.
I think that hornet was allergic to Austrian mountain goats lol.

So, you don't have lions and your most dangerous animals are bees and hornets?
No warthogs, baboons or leopards?

Cheers and thanks!

We have wild boars and a few bears around. Also wolfes can be seen sometimes, but I think these are the biggest wild animals around apart from deer.

Well, I understand that you don't think that bees are healthy if you're allergic. That means you have to be very careful when you walk barefoot on a meadow.

Ah! Okay, so you might step on a sleeping bear's tail, as I think it would be similar to meeting and angry lion waiting for an explanation why you stepped on his tail 🤣

No, bees are indeed healthy and we love to eat natural honey my friend. In fact Marian bought 1 kilogram of fresh natural honey this morning before the rain came down.
I never walk barefoot as my left leg is a bit shorter after the bike accident.

Cheers and thanks!

I think a bear would be more dangerous than a lion, which I could calm down with some delicious kitten treats.

Bread, butter and honey - one of the best things 😋

Agreed, but beware when you walk around in the darkness of early dawn lol. Both of us will be seriously worried if you run into anything.

I like hot scones with the steam still rising from a fresh bake with butter and honey. But bread is also great!

Good day Zac, I hope you have a nice day. We have had the first snow this year and it fell almost down to the valleys.

We don't have scones here, maybe similar, but I love it on thick slices of fresh black bread 😋

Greetings to you Hannes,

Finally you crawled out of the woodwork and you must have seen the discussions between JJ and me this whole morning? Only a joke as I bet you were out again somewhere, or working lol.

Good and I know that you are a careful guy!

Great to hear that you had your first snowfall and also glad that we are right now having a bit of a break in the rain. I did a rain post today and don't know if the people will like a post about rain, as many are allergic to rain lol.

Black bread? What on earth is black bread? Rye?

Cheers and thanks!

You are right, I have been "somewhere", mostly just driving around searching motivation ;)

Yes, we call it "Schwarzbrot" what means black bread in English - it's dark bread made of Rye and most kinds are delicious.

Aha and I hope that you found her Hannes.
Motivation is shy and many times she hides from us, but just when we think that she is gone, then she surprises us with a wonderful gift of inspiration lol.

Yes, I saw that as I asked Mrs. Google and the Russkies also have a form of black bread, but it's different that your German one.
I have never tasted it, but if you say that it is nice then I know that it is!

Cheers and thanks!

This bread is healthier than the fluffy "white" bread you can buy too. And our bread is Austrian bread - it's different from German bread 😉

Hahaha, of course the mountain goat will eat different black bread than any other country.
That fluffy white bread is indeed unhealthy and we eat what they call "Future Life" brown bread as it is loaded with natural vitamins.
But Austrian bread also sounds good!

Hahaha, maybe the lady motivation found out about about your feelings for Cinderella and she has decided to hide away from you in case you start getting the same thoughts about her 🤣

It seems that you are creating an inexplicable love situation there and the way that I know women they will gang up on you sooner or later.
I wouldn't want my friend to end up in that situation, so heed my sage advice here.

That is a mental story and in that state you are young, not married and no kids my friend.
Dreamworld I think that they call it. Or the house in the mind of fantasies lol.
So, in the mind you are a master musician hahaha.

Have you then not heard me play on the Harp, because you accompanied me by playing on a big German church organ?
