      Tak, z pewnością można o tym pomyśleć.

    This is a powerful image rabirius. It really drew me in. Are we all doomed? sometimes I think so, but I don’t dwell on it.

      Thank you, Alison.
      Well, we can try to sail away from the doom.

    Dit lijkt wel een propvolle vluchtelingenboot

      Ja, het ziet er hetzelfde uit.

      C’est malheureusement vrai. Mais il semble que nous ne pouvons pas arrêter les développements…

    Planet Earth in trouble! That’s what your creation entitled ‘Departure’ is telling me, Rabirius.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, we all know that it is.
      Thank you for your compliments, Peter.

    Just stunning, Rabirius. So stark and profound.

      Thank you for your words.

    Imagine we could drift to another planet 🤔🤓💫 always meaningful Rabirius … good thread too! Have a hopeful day ~ hugs hedy 🤗

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, it would be interesting to visit other worlds and galaxies. Well, in fact I already did visit another planet. 🙂

    This is what we are… sailing through the vast universe on a tiny ship.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, we definitely are.

    Wonderful to imagine options, and some of my favorite people too. I will be watching for the next booking 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Okay, I think there are still some tickets left. 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, John.

    Looks a bit like a floating island rabirius – perhaps starting a new colony somewhere. Count me in!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Tina.
      Okay, I’ll reserve some space for you.

    Welcome back! (I was ready to say that no matter WHAT you posted. I’ve missed you! In any case, I’ll stick with “welcome back” because this could be an arrival as well as a departure. ) One wonders why the organizer brought so many skycrapers and no apparent agricultural capacity. Good luck to this gang.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Kim.
      Well, you know, the big office buildings push agriculture away… 🙂

    Now this captures the mood of the day 🙂 Well done, Rabirius ~ are you on the deck of the ship?

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Well, no. I’m not on the deck. I have to stand in the water to take the pictures. 🙂

  21. derrickjknight Avatar

    As intriguing as these always are.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Derrick.

    You always give me a giggle with Your headings. 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      You’re welcome. I like when I can make someone smile or giggle.

    Looks like it’s going to be a great and interesting adventure. Any space left for me?

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Yes, you can squeeze right it.

    I like the concept “sailing away from the doom”. I’m a positive thinker so refuse to dwell on doom and gloom, but liked your picture. Thought provoking for sure!!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Yes, sailing away from the doom is always better than sailing right into it.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, it’s Frankfurt 🙂

      1. Steve Schwartzman Avatar

        I found this history of the name in Wikipedia:

        Frankonovurd (in Old High German) or Vadum Francorum (in Latin) were the first names mentioned in written records from 794. It transformed to Frankenfort during the Middle Ages and then to Franckfort and Franckfurth in the modern era. According to historian David Gans, the city was named c. 146 AD by its builder, a Frankish king named Zuna, who ruled over the province then known as Sicambri. He hoped thereby to perpetuate the name of his lineage. The name is derived from the Franconofurd of the Germanic tribe of the Franks; Furt (cf. English ford) where the river was shallow enough to be crossed on foot.

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, I remember that. I had to learn medieval latin at the university and we had to translate various texts by the Franks.
