Maar bluesky vindt het twijfelachtig 😂

Meanwhile in Kilder, the Netherlands: the cycle path is broken up for road works, so the road is turned into a bidirectional single lane directed by a temporary traffic light, and bikes are diverted over the other car lane

Autumn in the garden
a robin sits on a bunch of dead plants gathered in a bucket. the bucket is placed on a lawn, with a yellowing magnolia and a small green yuzu bush in the background. japanese maple leaves turning yellow and red. a fly agaric on a lawn surrounded by brown fallen birch leaves. a close-up of three kinds of moss.

In case you were wondering: even though the RE19 is now split into two sections, the trains still wait for eachother. Nice for through traffic, not so much for commuters who start in Emmerich or Elten.

The most playful part being that you can literally join in! You can climb on the stands and become part of the picture.
A mural on a wall depicting several figures standing on top of each other, with one real person standing on steps attached to the wall in such a way that the person becomes part of the stack of figures. Other people are taking pictures of this.

PSA: Don't use Google's AI summary! At all! Just skip to the actual results. Here's an example where I wanted to know whether I can plant a certain tree close to a wall. Two totally different answers, depending on the search words. AI simply shows what comes up often with these search terms 🤦‍♀️
A Google search box with the search phrase "poncirus trifoliata roots wall damage". Then the AI Overview result, stating "Poncirus trifoliata (trifoliate orange) roots can cause wall damage due to their vigirous growth and potential for significant root expansion, especially when encountering barriers like walls. While not inherently aggressive like some trees, its strong root system can exert pressure and potentially crack or displace foundations, walls, and pavements. Here's a more detailed explanation: Vigorous Root System: Poncirus trifoliata is known for its strong and extensive root system." A Google search box with the search phrase "poncirus trifoliata roots safe for wall". Then the AI Overview result, stating "Poncirus trifoliata roots are generally considered safe for planting near walls, especially considering they don't typically develop a deep or wide root system. However, due to their thorny nature, they should be planted away from high-traffic areas near walls. While they can tolerate various soil conditions, they prefer well-drained, fertile soils. Elaboration: Root System: Poncirus trifoliata, also known as hardy orange, is known for its fibours, though not overly extensive, root system, This means the roots are less likely to cause significant damage to walls or foundations compared to some other tree species with more agressive root systems."

Even though my hands get dirty each time I lock/unlock it (no chain guard) I love this one the most. It rides even better than my ebike! I painted it with stars as an anti-theft measure and because I could 😊
