Devastation on the summit

The summit of Mount #Olsberg has already been ‘cleared up’ following #Hurricane #Kyrill (January 2007), but its effects are still visible.
In the centre of the picture, you can see the #summit #cross and the mountain hut, which were spared by the hurricane.

come close, enjoy the show and the old downtown
a former frown and a clown to escape the lows
that knows no bound when crows strike down
a boom town and cool down, now froze

nokings - alhambra - 2026-03-28

Attended my 1st #nokings event earlier today! Was nice to be there with other like-minded people. Was nice to see and hear all the cars honking in support *** Took pix of my two favorite signs that other participants had made. I made sure to ask permission, and to not have their face in the pix.…

Na sowas, die Siemens Vectron Dual Mode kommt in ein paar Jahren mit einem großen Akkupack statt des Dieselgenerators, um oberleitungsfreie Streckenteile zu überbrücken bei sehr ähnlichen Leistungsdaten. Und dank Stromabnehmer braucht es keine Tankfahrten mehr. Erstkunde wird F-AKIEM sein.

Siemens kündigt schwere Akku-Lok mit 2 MWh Kapazität und Stromabnehmer an

Die Vectron Dual Mode von Siemens Mobility wird es künftig auch mit einem großen Akkupack geben. 2 Megawattstunden Kapazität sollen der E-Lok Reichweite bieten, wenn es mal keine Oberleitung bringt – anstatt des sonst verbauten Dieselgenerators, wie beim ICE L.

Huzzah! It seems there will be a #nokings close to me on Saturday at 1:30pm. Might have lunch nearby before the protest, then join in. #sgv https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/908326/
NO KINGS, ALHAMBRA CA. · No Kings

**We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.** What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us. *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
