      Bedankt, Marylou.
      Nou, met klimaatverandering is het water waarschijnlijk niet zo koud. 🙂

    Powerful imagery on the cost of living causing us to drown in our financial obligations, Rabirius!

    Great image. There was a movie that came out in 1958 called “The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Tim.
      Yes, I know the movie. Though I didn’t really see her as a giant woman attacking a city. 🙂

        I got that she isn’t attacking, but she is a giant woman, and brought the movie to mind.

        1. rabirius Avatar

          I once posted a picture with a giant woman attacking. It is called Eve of Destruction.

            That’s a wonderful image. WP won’t let me comment directly on your site.

            Why isn’t it possible to post a comment?
            I have some problems with WordPress and Firefox and use another browser for blogging now.

            I learned something by accident. I had to go back to using an old Mac Pro at work. It cannot be updated beyond El Capitan, so the browsers are older versions. I discovered that everything in WordPress works great in those older browsers. I can like an dpost directly on posts. plus post and the Reader load really quickly. That means that WordPress is having compatibility issues with new browsers in the latest versions of OS X. That includes Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I don’t know if browsers in Windows have the same issues.

          4. rabirius Avatar

            Not generally. I only have the problem with Firefox, since they introduced all the security features. I probably made it too secure. 🙂
            Maybe there was a recent update by Apple and some sites still need to adapt.

    I have thought a lot recently about the ordinary human facing a more and more feudal world. No entry for her (and I think she is trying to Google the solution on here phone!)

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, indeed, a lot of entries are blocked these days.

    And, yes, I love it.

    Living costs and sea level.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, indeed. Thank you, Michael.

    Great image again.
    The costs are high in several respects and the end of the rise is not yet in sight, certainly that of the sea level rise

    1. rabirius Avatar

      True.
      Thank you for your words, Jan.

    Sehe ich hier die Holzbrücke von Bad Säckingen?

    Aber davon mal ganz abgesehen, ein ausdrucksstarkes Bild zum Thema: Wohraum wird nahezu unerschwinglich, je nachdem wo man lebt oder leben möchte. Das Wasser steigt mehr und mehr uns Menschen bis zum Hals.
    Herzlichst, Ulli

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Ja, genau. Es ist die Brücke in Bad Säckingen. Gut erkannt. 🙂
      Und auch noch vielen Dank für die Komplimente, Ulli.

          Nein. Ich war letzten Sommer im Schwarzwald im Urlaub. Und da es teilweise zu heiß zum wandern war, bin ich einen Tag runter an den Rhein gefahren. Schöne Ecke, dort.

    The image has lingered and haunted the imagination. The result inspiration for a poem. I hope it is okay to use your image to support the writing. I will of course attribute appropriately. Hope you like. Here is the link. In anticipation, Many Thanks.

        Truly inspiring image. Grey cells immediately clicked into poetic mode!!

    Powerful image, Rabirius. In addition to debt, I also interpreted it to climate crisis and the rising tides.

    Maybe the rising of the water will solve the problem of the rising costs?… (Ooops!)

      1. Nil Avatar

        I know, kind of cynical… But looking at the world, I don’t really feel very hopeful… 🙂

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, I sometimes feel the same these days…
          …but I still hope for things to get better.
