Some recent photos

A few recent photos, including one especially for aryana_filker



We get snow here now and then....





Here are some hard-working people we get to watch as we eat lunch at the Medical College:






If you ever wondered what life is like for ducks in this region, here are some looking for food in the mostly-frozen harbor:






And this one of Milwaukee’s City Hall, covered in scaffolding for major exterior work, is for aryana_filker, who probably doesn’t know yet why I’m taking pictures of our City Hall for her, but she’ll figure it out soon enough:

Oooooh TEH NIFTY! (Hey YOU invented that phrase, not me :o) )

I especially like the second picture. Reminds me of those black /& white photographies of the Empire State Building being...well...built.


And that comment about Aryana makes me quite curious.

Yes, and I have this vision of someday having to apologize to the nation of Germany for setting their youth down the path of linguistic ruin... :)
(And what would be the German version of Teh Nifty??? You need to teach me some silly things to say in German.)

The reason for the photo for Aryana isn't really that exotic, but I like being mysterious. I'm sure she'll explain it in due course.

*giggles* Believe me, that has already been done by other people :o)

Oy...*ponders* no idea? Maybe "Endgeil" because it's just as stupid as TeH Nifty, only less cute :O)


Hmmm I have this suspicion why you posted the photo but I don't think that's it.

Keeping in mind that my German is pretty much limited to guten Tag, eins through neun, and a few such highly useful phrases as "der Affe ist frei," maybe you could explain "Endgeil" a bit?

And now I want to know what you are suspecting about that photo...

Although I don't knwo why this one is specially for me, I really like it! :)
Maybe you remember that I am reading the Sherlock Holmes novels these days, so I have to find out why you posted that picture with Holmes-like methods... oh, my. I am everything, but not a detective!

You don't intend to perform any of Aryana's songs in that city hall, do you? *wide guess*

Nice pics, anyway. :) I especially like the ducks.

[beige-alert.livejournal.com]

No, no filks at City Hall. Normally I perform Aryana's songs in people's basements or living rooms, or in convention filk rooms.

*g* That's where filk is usually performed, after all. :)

Yep. Or in staricases at Freudburg. Music sounds wonderful in Freusburg staircases!

Oh yes, they have such wonderful accustics there!
