Saft, Saft, saftiger

 °


The grapes are ripening. What to do? Eat? Yes.


What about some juice?


Worked out pretty well. Trinkable.
But has to be drank in three days as not cooked.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

VIINIRYPÄLE = Traube / grape
VIINIKYRPÄLE ... teenager use for the same word.


Testing carrots as well.
The juice was very good but such a shame,
all this carrot powder to be wasted.
Juice machine might be good for not so fresh veggies.
Testing goes on.

Jazz in Cala Ratjada

°

XXXIV SERENATES D'ESTIU DE CALA RAJADA

Concerts in the garden of Fundació B. March.


Managed to see the last show of the four concerts:
Camil Arcarazo Trio. 

Mellow jazz music.

Camil Arcarazo?
This 20 years old bassist comes from Barcelona
and has played with several big musicians already.

Let's keep this name in mind.

Camil Arcarazo es un contrabajista y guitarrista de Jazz catalán 
que desde los 14 años está metido de lleno en la escena de jazz nacional.

A pesar de su juventud ya lidera proyectos a su nombre con un 
repertorio que nos ofrece nuevas lecturas de la música creada durante 
el último tercio del siglo XX y composiciones y arreglos propios.


Other boys: Christian Smith, batería / Toni Vaquer, piano

The location is just fantastic, the beautiful garden of
March family's villa.

Strassenbau um Lío

 °

In this posting I just want to show you
how the seaside promenade Paseo Marítimo in Palma
is under construction. Since months already.








In January 2023 the news were spread that the new
night club Lío will open the doors in June this year.
At the Paseo Maritimo. Well that did not happen.
Formerly known as Titos there was a high end
disco/club in the building with the big window.


On the web page of Lions they are selling tickets
for the second opening night, first one being sold out.
So the show club will open on the 3rd of August!
The construction works definitely won't be finished by that.

Odds and ends in Palma

°

My kind of sport is urban hiking.
Drop me in a city and I'll walk the streets.
And find interesting objects.


It's not often that you see a woman immortalized like this.
Modern looking, not half naked.
Who is this woman?


Aurora Picornell.
1912 El Molinar, Palma - 1937 Porreres.


Wikipedia knows:

(She) was a Spanish political martyr. She was a seamstress and 
a workers' activist known as "La Pasionaria mallorquina". She was 
a member of the Spanish Communist Party. In 1937, she was 
executed without trial by Francoist forces.

The song 'Aurora' by the metal band Helevorn is about her:


Nachschlag/ posting 31.7.23


Found this in Artá.
This person also died in Porreres 1937.
I actually know these "Stolpersteine" from Germany.
You find them in front of the houses where jews and
other suspected persons lived and were killed by
the Nazis in the II World War.

Vicenç Miquel Piris, Pirris. Membre històric de l’obrerisme i l’esquerra 
política d’Artà és considerat l’enllaç entre les primeres generacions i el 
sque protagonitzaren els fets d’octubre de 1934 i els del Front Popular 
de les eleccions de 1936. Ocupà càrrecs en la Federació Obrera i el 
1920 va ser detingut, amb Joan Escanellas Moll, a rel d’una visita 
d’un dirigent de la UGT. El febrer de 1922 va signar una carta 
publicada a El Obrero Balear en què acusava Pere Morell i Olesa 
de caciquisme i de prendre represàlies contra ell i i altres dos obrers
 per haver votat la candidatura contrària a la maurista. Emigrà a 
l’Argentina i en tornar el trobam com a membre de l’Aliança Obrera 
i com a vicepresident de l’Agrupació Socialista. 
El 1934 va ser un dels onze empresonats pels fets del 6 d’octubre. 
Va formar part de la Junta Gestora del març de 1936. Detingut 
el 23 de setembre, passà per diverses presons. El 6 d’octubre de 
1937 va ser tret de Can Mir i conduït, possiblement a Porreres on,
 als 58 anys d’edat, hauria estat assassinat amb Llorenç Muntaner Riera.




Every now and then I find a pretty park.


If you want to locate it on the google maps
you'd better use the Spanish name: 
Jardins de la Cuarentena.


From the park you have nice views over the harbor.
A few amazing yachts parking down there.



Turn around and face the very Spanish situation.
Honestly, aren't those open hanging cables a bit dangerous?

A little bit of Africa

°

Neue Ausstellung in Frankfurt.


Objects from the Kingdom of Benin (Nigeria) occupy a central role in the debate on the restitution of cultural property. The collection of the Weltkulturen Museum also contains over fifty objects made of metal, wood and ivory from the Kingdom of Benin (Nigeria). When and under what circumstances did they enter the collection of what was then known as the Völkermuseum?






Auch viel Lektüre, also mit Zeit hingehen.


Forschungsfragen.


Der Hahn steht an zehnter Stelle der chinesischen Tierkreiszeichen.

LIEBE mit Familie Montez

Kunstverein Familie Montez zeigt eine Gruppenausstellung

LIEBE

 


Man kann alles lieben und das kann man als Bilder zeigen.


Nebenan eine andere Ausstellung.


Social Isolation and Loneliness...




A bit scary but fine.


Nicht nur die Farbe macht diese Sofa so lustig!

Touring Moseltal

°

 Party time, this time in Luxembourg.


Well, the weather this summer has kept us cool.


But we were lucky. The first BBQ was dry.
And what a view from the German side over to Luxembourg.


Let's give the boring sunset photo some nature power.


Next day in Trier.
THIs UNESCO World Heritage Site is a gate built 
by Romans after 170 AD.


It is the most liked sight in Trier, easy to find.
The other Roman remains you have to look for.


Trier downtown has its charm with old buildings...


... also with churches and fountains.


The big birthday party was celebrated in Grevenmacher.
I have to post this pic so that I'll remember later that
we actually did take a bus from the hotel.
Did you know that public transportation in Luxembourg is 
FREE FOR ALL?!


As you can see of this outfit of the b-day-boy,
guests were encouraged to wear clothes in the style
of their past time music favorites.


Love those boots!


Ja, ja, der alte Sack.


No party without ABBA Show!


Well, the party took place on an open terrace
but am not quite sure if the idea with those fire things
was such good one. Well, nothing happened.
And it was, indeed, pretty.


After such effective partying the walking tour in 
the City of Luxembourg did not last long.


Even though so nice objects flying around.


Always some building sites.

Just checked the old corners, did not take free ride
but the fairly new tram but drove to next
Friends to enjoy some siesta in their house.


Our timing was perfect.


And we had more time to get to know LUMI.


In the evening we had some food which we
used to enjoy with many friends more than 30 years ago.


SCAMPI!!!
And a steak with pepper sauce for me.


Kyllä tämä aina hotelliaamiaisen voittaa!
Kiitos Piirosen porukat majoituksesta ja seurasta.

Was a very nice German-Finnish-Luxembourgish tour
meeting good old friends and meeting funny new people 
and crossing the river Mosel a few times.
