Why are all the posts about #Iran only in German?
Bekommt ihr das mit, was die mutigen Menschen in Iran machen? Nehmt ihr die Proteste wahr?
„Die Mullahs müssen verschwinden“
Tag 2 der Proteste in Teheran gegen das Regime. Begonnen haben die Proteste gestern in den Basaren und Malls. Ladenbesitzer schlossen ihre Geschäfte, um gegen die Preiserhöhungen und Inflation zu demonstrieren. Die Menschen haben längst genug von diesem Regime.

While shooting the moonrise last night (since the eastern horizon was relatively free of clouds) I did get to capture another nice green flash along the Moon's upper limb. (Really more of a wavering flicker than a flash, but it was visible through the viewfinder.) 📸🌖

I keep this copy I painted of Goya's portrait of Señora Sabasa Garcia in a closet, so that sometimes when I go in there, it will surprise me.

Amtrak is launching a new high-speed Acela train. But there is one wrinkle: It isn’t actually faster, at least not yet.
Amtrak’s New Acela Trains Are Here. They’re Moving Slower Than the Old Ones.
The next-generation trains, part of a $2.45 billion upgrade, can reach 160 miles an hour but are limited by the railroad’s aging infrastructure.
