RE: Natural Noses - AlphabetHunt

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have just come back from the comet Neowise, which I didn't see, because it might be too low to the horizon and there's a small mountain range in the north of our building. So I might as well give you a few short replies and then try to sleep ;)

Well, there is a word, but "trostlos" would mean something like dreary or sad or so, and this looks somehow really hazy to me, like you say yourself. Maybe it comes from the humidity of the sea?


Cheers and !BEER

Such a pity that you couldn't see the comet Hannes.
Yes, it is a haze and it covers almost everything, especially on the zoom.
I went out later at the late sunset and got a faint pinkish cloud hanging over the mountain.
The ocean must definitely have something to do with it.

But I will find out and show you!

Cheers and thanks!

Good morning Zac,

I got a few hours of sleep, but only if I add all moments together when I had my eyes closed 😉

I knew the comet is very low down over the horizon, but I thought it would be just above that mountain ridge in the north. Bad luck, but I'll try it tonight on another place 🙂

Yes, the zoom "compresses" the scene and so you see the haze more dense. Will be interesting what causes this hazy effect. We have such here too, but I never cared why and how it happens.

Good afternoon Hannes.

Busy at a poor old age home today. I wonder how some children overseas feel the loneliness of their mother or father sitting alone in a home here. The old people have wonderful stories to tell of their happy past life, but there is always a tear in their eyes.

Now with that comet, can't you get a better view on the roof of a high building?

Will get the reason for the haze soon and today it's cold and all clear.

Cheers and thanks!

Good evening Zac,

hm, I have no answer to that, but I think sometimes what my parents might do alone in the house.

We are surrounded by mountains and the comet is close to the horizon. A building wouldn't be high enough I think.
Last night I have been on the rooftop of our office building, but didn't see anything.
Tonight is cloudy again, but tomorrow might be clear and I think I'll give it a last try 😀🌠
If it doesn't work I'll have to wait 5000 years 😉 lol

Cold and clear? That might mean something 🙂

Hi Hannes.

Thankfully my parents are wherever they went a very long time ago, so I don't need to worry about them.
Good news is that you will be close to yours again in a few years!

Let's hope that tomorrow will be good to get the comet, as I will hate to see what you would look like in 5000 years time hahaha.

Yeah, a sniping ice cold mountain wind this time that can make my toenails curl up lol.

Cheers and thanks!

Good morning Zac,

in 5000 years time I might be an earthworm in his cave sipping on a !BEER 😉
Even if the weather is right tonight I don't know if I'm able to see the comet. I would have to drive too far to flatter land, but maybe I have found a good place on my yesterday's ride.

I don't mind wind, but cold wind only in Summer 😉

I don't know how long it will take today to reply to all comments besides my work, so I wish you a great start into the new week my friend 😃

Good morning Hannes.

Oh yeah hahaha, and I might be a bird looking for beer drinking earthworms in caves lol.

Well lets's hope that you are right and that you can take some snaps of the comet, Hannes.
Just don't forget your lens at home lol.

I also love the wind and I saw this morning that the sun at last started to creep towards it's Spring position, but it will be a while yet!

No worry as we said that we were going to take it a bit easier this week my friend.
We must just not fall totally out of the rankings hahaha
If somebody wants to beat us, they must work for it which is good for Hive and the EL.

Cheers and thanks.

I hope you are a vegetarian bird 😉

Well, I can tell you that this has happened to me once before: I had the right lens with me, but not the adapter for my camera, because my EOS R needs a special adapter that I can use the older Canon L lenses. So I had a beautiful view of a stunning sunset but no photo. I never forgot the adapter again 😁

Some mornings here look already like it was Autumn.

Of course they have to work for their place in the top 10 😀

Hahahha, yeah, a seed eating bird lol.

We call these mishaps school fees Nannes.
You paid for the lesson and you graduated ny never forgetting the adapter again hahaha.
I am lucky with my camera, as it doesn't have lenses.
The settings hoever continue to trick me at times.
I put the camera setting on "Macro" to take a bee on a flower and suddenly an Eagle comes flying slowly overhead. So I immediately swing the camera up and start taking 3 or 4 shots of the Eagle.
Imagine my disgust when I saw that the setting was on macro hahaha.

Yes, I suppose the entire planet is turning towards the season changes lol.
Winter at your place is our summer.
Strangely it feels like it was summer just the other day.

Oh yeah and we will make them work hahaha

Cheers and thanks!

Good morning Zac,

right, I have never forgotten the adapter again, but sometimes I forget the settings, especially to switch the image stabilisation on or off when I shoot hand held or I use a tripod.
I don't have the macro problem because there's no macro setting on my camera, but it has happened, that I had the macro lens on the camera and a bird came by ;)

I'm hoping for a nice Autumn 😊

Good afternoon Hannes.

I saw that our times are exacly the same.
Not often that this happens.

We seem to share the wiles of the boogy man with our cameras hahaha.
It seems that you experience the same frustrations as I do and if it rarely happens, then one can understand it.
With me it happens regularly and I am just a Klutz.

Autumn is a beautiful seasons with rich colors!

Cheers and thanks!

Btw. Did you get the comet?

Good evening Zac,

I knew that 😉

I don't want the Boogey man near me, even if he has a different name here. We call him just Black Man. When we children were naughty my mum said "behave or the Black Man comes and takes you with him!" 🤣

It doesn't happen to me very often, because since I shot a whole sunrise with much too high ISO settings and noticed that only on the next location I take much more care and view my images immediately after each shot 😉

But I know exactly what you mean and I hope it will not happen to me again.

I love the autumn 🙂

No, I haven't seen the comet and today is cloudy again 🙃

Ha, Boogy man sounds so much better Hannes.
"I will call the boogy man if you don't eat your vegetables" hahaha.
Now and again if I really didn't like to eat something, I would swipe it off my plate when the old lady was not looking and put it into my pants pocket.

But she caught me, as I put a handful of soggy pumpkin in my pocket and when we got up from the table she saw the wet yellow coloring on my pants. I won't tell you what hapenned, but I never put vegetables in my pocket again, as she watched me like a hawk hahaha.

Nowadays it happens to me more regularly hahaha.
Just wait, as you get older lol.

That comet is gone forever as far as we are concerned my friend.

Cheers and thanks!

Haha, good morning Zac, this day begins with a big laugh and smile on my face, because I just imagined your pants and your mother's facial expression 😁

Believe me, I'm already in that stage where I often think "what the h*** did I want to do a second ago?"

I think so too.
So, in about 5 or 6000 years I will dig myself out of the ground and try to watch the comet again ... and hope that there's no hungry Zac bird sitting on a tree branch looking for curious earthworms 🤣


Cheers and !BEER
... and let me try something new

Good afternoon Hannes.
My mom was a very highly charged individual that acted upon her impulses lol.
So, I will get it with anything that was near her hahaha.

Hahaha, oh yeah, I know that one well, as it happens every day to me.
It's like a guard standing at the door of my brains memory bank that refuses to open the door hahaha.

Hahaha, where do you find all of these things that come out with?
I think the doors to your humor banks are wide open hahaha

Cheers and thanks!

Good evening Zac,

yes, you have told me about your mom before - she was a great woman 🙂

Funny thing is that in my office we are all in about the same age, and everyone of us asks this question at least once a day 🙃

Well, I think the more I have to do at work the more stupid thoughts come into my mind. So, you might be right and the doors are wide open at the moment 😉

I was the stupit there Hannes, for thinking that I could get away with wet yellow pumpkin in my pocket 😇

I think it is all to do with information overload. We jump on our PC's and phones beween conversations and replies and our thought patterns become "confussed" (my own word for confused) Eternal turmoil goes on inside our heads and and we jump from though to thought forgetting to concentrate!

Yeah, exactly as I described above, the mind seeks escape into humor 🤣

Cheers and thanks!

The idea was good, only the execution was maybe not so good 😉

I agree, but it's also the age which plays a role, because only a few years ago I had even more to do and no problems at all. But whatever the reasons may be, we have to live with it 😁

I like the words "escape into humor" 😀

Forgetfulness is the new fashion Hannes and I am also very bad with names.
I remember yours because I type it often, but whenever I am physically introduced to a stranger I have to rely on my wife to remember his or her names.
It can become quite embarrasing, as to adress a person by their name is important.

But then again, there are some 80 year old ladies that address me by my name even if I haven't seen them in a long time.
Maybe they have better memory genes than us!

Hahaha, humor indeed serves as an escape to me. So does Mother nature!

Cheers and thanks!

I also have to ask my wife sometimes who someone is 😉
She really remembers names better, so I think you might be right with the genes 🙂

Hahaha, at times our wives caqn save us from real embarrasment my friend.
I remember a real bad incident in a shopping center.
My wife went to get some stuff and I was waiting for her at a coffee shop inside the place.
After I had read a part of a magazine and had 2 coffees, I decided to go outside to have a smoke, so I called a waiter to pay.
The waiter came over and said that no, I didn't have to pay, as the guy sitting at another table already paid for my drinks. So, occasionly I can be a decent sort of guy, so I went to the man to thank him.

As I said "Thank you sir", the guy said "What, you don't know me"? And I didn't know him lol.
So, he continued to explain to me who he was with a pitying look on his face.
I could swallow a live fish hahaha.

Turns out that he was one of the students in the English class at Papillon hahaha.
They arrived as refugees from an African, war torn country, penniless and they could only speak French.
So we taught about 2000 of them English.

Such is life my friend!

Cheers and thanks!

The story is great and I can really feel with you, because sometimes I have similar experiences with colleagues, which I haven't met for years and which have changed a lot in over time. But after a while of talking I usually find out who they are 😁

But these experiences are much different from yours and I think it is almost impossible to remember everyone of 2000 or even more students 😊

Oh yeah, but I am not one of those smooth talkers hahaha.

Yes, we had many more students from other countries and also local people.
It is just the way my life worked out lol

Ha, me neither, I mostly let talk and while I listen my brain looks for the needed information 😉

So, in my eyes it is impossible that you can remember all of them.

Good morning and a happy Friday to you Hannes.
Things are a bit better today and it seems that the time changes of the tablets are working.

You are correct as it is impossible to remember every soul!

Good morning Zac,
that's good to hear 😄

My weekend has begun and I am going for a ride. Maybe I will end at my parents tonight or on the mountain there, don't know yet, and so I also don't know if I will be much online this weekend.

That's why I quickly reply and hope you will have a wonderful weekend and you take care of yourself 😄
