We got completely snowed in today!
Giant mountain of snow in the parking lot. Completely impossible to park in that spot.
They replaced the flag, but the shredded scrap still hangs all over the trees. Nothing spectacular today, so it's not really worth heading over. In case you still do and wonder what the sign says: "End of sledge run". With like 6 or 7°C it was really warm today. Sweated like a pig. They cleared and pushed over plenty of trees on the hillside, looking really sad now. I spared you the look.
@lyse love the premiere one! How do you get the blueish/violetish colour on your photos? Is the post processing, or just as it comes out of the camera? On number 02, the flag with the three stretching cats, what's the meaning of it, do you know? 6-7°C is lovely! Our day today is cloudy, windy, and 27°C, with 58% humidity. Good thing I am indoors! :-)
Ta, @david! I just put my camera on dawn/dusk mode and that's how that blueish/violetish color shift happens. No further processing required. For my liking that's a bit extreme on those, though.
The three red tongued black lions are the lesser coat of arms of this federal state here and date back to the Duke of Swabia and the Staufer dynasty in particular. The Mt. Hohenstaufen was the Staufer's local home mountain, so that makes it really connected. That flag here is exactly on that mountain. Frederick I or just Barbarossa ("red beard") is the most famous Staufer who also became a Holy Roman Emperor. That's all I know about the lions, heraldry is not my specialty, but the article might get you going with your research. ;-)
@lyse that's really cool! I need to check to see if the Sony Alpha 7ii I have laying around here has that kind of setting, as I would like to give it a try. It looks very artistic, I like the tones.
Interesting to read about Barbarossa, and how the coat of arms are still used today. I have always associated those to the middle ages, and not to something as recent as 1954. I am sure some of that coat details come from way back.
@david Any luck with your experiment? In my experience it works best if it's a little bit dark outside. Otherwise the color shift is not so pronounced.
I never put much thought into it, but I reckon that plenty of things can be tracked down to some pretty old roots. Perhaps especially if there is some kind of power and control involved. Also I think that most people nowadays (maybe also in the past?) – including me – don't get the connections. They just take it for granted, that's the way it is. No questions on the why asked. Because there no important reason to do so (other than curiosity and interest on the subject). Just my wild guess. :-)
