Here’s a story I saw today about nursing home residents in Hungary who are able to “visit” Christmas fairs without leaving their beds by using Virtual Reality.

This is from Shenzhen, the IT capital of China, near Hong Kong. Not sure how fast it goes.

Here’s a pic of midnight Christmas Eve from Calafate in southern Argentina. Where it’s pretty warm this time of year (I just checked, it’s 66 degrees there right now – 19C). If Santa’s trying to pilot his sleigh in the middle of that, he’d better be careful.

In Michigan, we call them poplar and cottonwood. If you say Aspen to us, we know it’s a tree, but we think you’re talking about a ski resort. 😄
Cottonwood grow really fast which is why they have a lot of those problems you’re talking about, at least that’s what I’ve always thought.

Daryl,
That is really nice looking at that fire, and looking out over the deck at the lake.
I used to live on a lake near here that looked like that. I liked that a lot. A lot wilder than the suburbs I grew up in. I remember times when I was growing up where the snow piled on the side of the drive was maybe 9 feet in the air or more. Haven’t seen that in a very long time.

That looks great in Cologne.
Some people don’t like crowded attractions very much. I understand. I like some of them, some of the time. I went to two American football games this year. I went to a classical music concert a few weeks ago. I love going to the local farmer’s markets, things like that.
I don’t have any little ones around any more who would make a visit to a Christmas fair like that more fun, but I would still go to check it out. But I will see my grand nieces and grand nephews in the next week or so, so that’s good.

That was great. All the trees lit up in front of the water was a great look, and into the woods.
Very cool. I’ve thought I’d like to visit Vancouver some day. I’ve always thought it must be a beautiful area with the water and the islands and forested mountains.

Detroit is strong, my friend. It has a ways to go, but it’s working on it.

Jürgen,
I noticed that you said the markets are built near the cathedrals.
In that picture from New York City, from the place where that shot was taken, St. Patrick’s Cathedral is behind, to the right, about half a block away, maybe 50m.

Thanks Tim.

Exactly, Jung. When I expand them, they almost look like they’ve been doctored. Colorized, like old movies, photoshopped, or yes, like Christmas cards. There’s like a sheen to them.
They look great.

That movie is funny.
My favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Carol, with Alastair Sim as Scrooge, from 1951.

A klick is 2/3 of a mile, more or less, so that’s around 200 mph.
Life is a lot of approximations anyway. 😄

Nice tree. Somebody obviously earned his $3/hour on that one.

That was interesting too. Such detail.
The more I think about it, I think I’ve seen the Hamburg model railroad before. Not recently though. Very cool.
