Speicherstadt

This is part of the largest warehouse district in the world with warehouses built on wooden foundations. I had an evening to spare here, so I decided to spend it in the HafenCity neighbourhood. This shot was my reward. A perfect blue hour on the bridge looking out to the infamous Wasserschloss.

Yes and no.

#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.

  • I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...

Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.

  • So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.

That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.

  • And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!

Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.

The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]

Rotterdam

The second largest city in the Netherlands arguably has the best skyline. And it's expanding and extending every year. This shot is from five years ago already, when I was treated to a beautiful sunset sky.

Stars

At the Schoorl beach, there is only very little light pollution from the wind turbines at sea. With so little light around to distract you from seeing the night sky, you find yourself surrounded by thousands upon thouands of stars. You feel so immensely tiny when you observe all these countless specks of distant light.

Ce matin-là Maurice avait commencé à se parer de couleurs, pour célébrer l'automne. Le ciel lui avait répondu en mettant le feu à ses nuages.
-
That morning, Maurice had begun to adorn himself with color, to celebrate autumn. The sky responded by setting fire to its clouds.

Maurice en automne.
Vallée de Tarentaise, Savoie, Octobre 2022.

*** L'automne est bien installé, on va donc écouter "Colchiques dans les prés" de Jacqueline Debatte et Francine Cockenpot.***

Espérant qu'il profite de ce que la nuit apporterait comme conseils, Maurice tenta d'expliquer à son voisin qu'il lui serait agréable de le voir, un jour, se coiffer. En vain, tant il est vrai que les frênes sont têtus et peu porté sur l'élégance, au contraire des érables.
-
Hoping that he would take advantage of what the night would bring in terms of advice, Maurice tried to explain to his neighbor that it would be nice to see him, one day, comb his hair. In vain, as it is true that the ash trees are stubborn and not very elegant, unlike the maples.

L'échevelé.
Tarentaise, Savoie, Juin 2021.

*** Échevelés, on peut dire que les Stooges l'étaient. Surtout quand Iggy chantait "I Wanna Be Your Dog" sur ce riff brutal de guitare. Les Stooges c'étaient un peu des frênes à leur façon. ***

Maurice avait coiffé ses lauriers, tressés de nuages roses. Il trouvait que cette coiffe lui seyait particulièrement bien lorsque montaient les étoiles.
-
Maurice had braided his laurels with pink clouds. He thought that this headdress suited him particularly well when the stars were rising.

Les lauriers de Maurice.
Tarentaise, Savoie, Juin 2021.

*** Les lauriers, ça donne tout de suite une allure antique, et ça incite vite à partir pour une odyssée, tout en écoutant "Banjo Odyssey" de The Dead South. ***

Maurice avait laissé la nuit l'envahir, le sommeil le gagnait tout doucement. Tandis qu'il commençait à tanguer dans la pente, des paillettes stellaires s'envolaient autour de lui.
-
Maurice had allowed the night to take hold of him, sleep was slowly creeping up on him. As he began to sway down the slope, stellar flakes flew around him.

De la pente et des paillettes.

*** Des paillettes, il y en avait plein les yeux d'Amy Winehouse, des étoiles aussi. L'occasion de réécouter "Addicted". ***

Le sommeil ne venait pas, il faut dire que Maurice ne profitait plus d'une belle nuit noire depuis longtemps. Les lumières avaient envahi le fond de vallée, éclairant jusqu'aux nuages même en pleine nuit.
-
Sleep did not come, it must be said that Maurice had not enjoyed a nice dark night for a long time. The lights had invaded the valley floor, lighting up the clouds even at night.

Les lumières de la ville.
Tarentaise, Savoie, Juin 2021.

*** Parfois, quand le sommeil ne vient pas et que l'on se retrouve en pleine nuit à observer la vie des autres, comme ça, de loin, on se dit qu'écouter "People Are Strange" des Doors n'est pas vain. ***

Maurice l'érable s'était penché pour savourer les dernières lueurs dans la vallée. Sans qu'il s'en aperçoive, le ciel s'était enflammé en toute discrétion.
-
Maurice the maple leaned down to savor the last light in the valley. Without his noticing it, the sky had ignited discreetly.

Du vent dans les branches.
Tarentaise, Savoie, Mai 2021.

*** Qu'on le veuille ou non, c'est un temps à écouter "La marée haute" de Lhasa de Sela. ***

A mesure qu'elle s'élevait au-dessus du littoral de Tarentaise, la lune se rêvait soleil levant. Maurice, paisible érable sycomore de son état, se pencha vers elle pour l'encourager doucement.
-
As it rose above the Tarentaise coastline, the moon dreamed of the rising sun. Maurice, a peaceful sycamore maple by virtue of his condition, leaned towards her to encourage her gently.
_____
La lune se rêvait soleil.
Tarentaise, Savoie, Novembre 2020.

*** Je ne dis pas que ne pas écouter "Just Friends" d'Amy Winehouse devant cette touchante scène nocturne serait malvenu, je dis juste que c'est mieux de le faire quand même. ***
