The Random Pictures thread

The site came out a little different for me.

http://english.aass.no/

It's working for me. In case you can't get the site to open, it's a link to the local brewery, which is called Aass (meaning 'hill' in old-style Norwegian).

[Panda Tar]

Well, Aass-es are always a kind of hillanyway.

Me teaching our 58 students in Athenian democracy. Location: the democracy hight, where the Greeks assembled to discuss political matters over 2000 years ago.

[Panda Tar]

Did they learn anything at all? With such nice view around to admire.

[Kalah]

They learned a lot!

[mr.hackcrag]

It looks like you got a manly cut on your leg from your teaching experience.

[Kalah]

Old scar. I have lots of those.

[Kalah]

Lots of pictures from my racing day.













And a video.

I wasn't the best driver out there, but in the video you can actually see me overtake someone. Our team of 2 drivers ended up taking silver, by a narrow margin of only 0.2 seconds.

[Panda Tar]

Goody!

[mr.hackcrag]

You look like a movie star Kalah.

Being on the family walk in Waldstein Garden (Prague) I pased by Albino Peacock. There take a look.

[mr.hackcrag]

Pretty cool. You should have flirted with her so she'd spread her wings.

That not how peacocks work. It's a male.

[Panda Tar]

Well, it could be a gay peacock? With some colorful feathers hidden beneath the white landscape. ^^

I've been to the Mosel valley, one of the best places to be if you're an oenophile.




10 points if you can place the town I'm in.

[Panda Tar]

Bernkastel-Kues?

[Kalah]

Yep. Sign-reader.
It's a lovely spot, btw. if any of you are ever contemplating going there. Lots of small streets with shops and cafes.

[Panda Tar]

I looked at some pics and it does feel like a small and cozy town, quite charming.

Along the Mosel river, there are many small villages with small wineries selling their local wines. When I say "small wineries", they're basically family run operations selling their produce to tourists and local restaurants. I like them because I can pop in, have a taste and buy some bottles. Of course, there are also a couple of large operations, like Markus Molitor, but I like travelling along the valley and stopping by places that I fancy.
