Good morning!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
this week's <a href="http://skyley.blogspot.co.at/" target="_blank">Skywatch Friday</a> is supplemented by sound. Not any sound, but the beautiful sound of a synanthrope species. What a privilege to wake up to the morning voice of the blackbird. <br />

Synanthropes are animals and plants that thrive in the human world. Matt Walker, editor of BBC Nature online refers to them as <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/wondermonkey/2011/08/welcome-to-synurbia.shtml" target="_blank">synurbic</a>. <br />

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have passed this building in the past countless times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week, for the first time ever, I noticed a strong, unfamiliar scent. Hay? in the first disctrict, right in the city centre?</div>

It was at this very spot that I halted and sniffed. Heavenly hay! What a pleasant and unique scent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No doubt, there must be large haystacks sitting behind these tilted windows on the ground floor, which absolutely makes sense btw, since the walls house the stables of the <a href="http://www.srs.at/en_US/start-en/" target="_blank">Spanish Riding School</a>. </div>

In case we've met before, you probably know my answer. My rejection is not coquetry. It's an opinion I've built over time, based upon <br />
<br />
<b># my responsibility</b> I know about the production conditions. Plus the lack of sustainabiliy. My current phone is a keeper. <br />
<br />
<b># the effects</b> The people I see on my way to work, in the street, in shops, at museums etc live under the influence. I love to communicate. Still, I take the liberty to live with a phone, a camera and an outdated agenda.<br />

Unfortunately my outdated lifestyle excludes me numerous instant communication channels. This blog is one way to stay in touch with dear family and friends. Wait. A blog? Seriously? I know. It's 2018 ...<br />
<br />
OK. Lets end this with this outlook: We still have the call. <br />
<br />
Thank you for being patient and staying in touch!<br />

The weather conditions reminded me of the <strike>good</strike> cold old days, back in the early 1990's. It takes some serious minus degrees to wear this <strike>little</strike> loud gem like you would wear a floral or aquatic scent at the office. When it's -10° outside, anything goes. <br />

Kids and probably parents had thrown snowballs all over the frozen
surface. I remember my disappointment back then, when I stood at the
lake, wishing for a blank surface. I thought they looked like trash,
disturbing.<br />
<br />
Well, I was wrong. <br />
<br />
Imagine my surprise when held the print in my hands: those white
irritations aka snowballs create highlights in the picture on a
otherwise dull and dark surface - the ice. <br />

So we have come to terms with this endless winter. How to spend an entertaining afternoon - or evening - away from your sofa when the park benches are covered with snow?<br />
<br />
Good to know Vienna holds plenty of decent answers, such as a traditional Viennese Café:<br />

This old fashioned Café is a place where you can easily spend 2 hours, maybe 3 or even 4 hours with good company. Is it already listed on the UNSECO Intangible Heritage list, such as <a href="https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/art-of-neapolitan-pizzaiuolo-00722" target="_blank">Pizza</a>? </div>

Fair prices on the menu encourage consumption. Not to forget vegan options that go beyond french fries and bread rolls, a real kitchen with actual home made dishes and pastries.</div>

I am a big fan of "Miznon" – the Isreali Street Food restaurant in Vienna. Miznon is famous for serving roasted cauliflower. <span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />

<br />
January 2018 has been not too exciting so far, and almost dull. Grey skies, no snow at all and at the office we have successfully been passing all sorts of viruses and germs along.<br />
<br />
Time for some DIY play.<br />
<br />
Even though winter has not been very frosty until now, the birds are regular visitors at the fat balls in front of the kitchen window. They happen to be quite picky when picking from the fat balls. The peanuts were gone in no time, whereas the average fat ball did not meet their taste.<br />
<br />

Looking at empty nets in front of the window is not a satisfying view - neither for the birds, nor for me.<br />
<br />
I
opened some empty nets and filled them with walnuts. The walnuts turn
ranzid so fast. Even the ones I buy at the supermarket with a due date
way ahead are already rancid when I opened the bag. ... leaves me with
plenty of bird food.<br />

After some dozens of photos I finally figured out the
surprisingly short, correct exposure that shows the surface of the moon:
ISO 100, 1/500s and F9. A Nikon D 90, handheld and a kit lens is all
it takes.<br />

We've come a long way. 940 million km to be precise.<br />
<br />
During the year I tend to forget the fact, that this planet is not just spinning around its own axis but moves through space. On this day, the last day of the orbit's round my thoughts are circling around the fascinating <strike>idea</strike> fact of Heliocentrism. Oh yes, I have been to the <a href="https://www.onb.ac.at/en/museums/globe-museum/" target="_blank">Globe Museum in Vienna</a> earlier this week. You can tell. ;-) <br />

Pictures taken earlier today at the Lainzer Tiergarten in Vienna. This has become a tradition, catching the last glimpes of sunlight of the old year in the dusky woods. <br />

<br />
This year has arrived at its shortest day. Time to focus on light, it's the season ... <br />
<br />
During Christmas season the first district becomes a walk-through sensation of Christmas decorations & light. <br />

While I was taking the photo above I overheard two women who did not like the red globs at all. They thought the globes are not Christmassy. I can't agree. In my eyes these lights bring joy & a little magic. What else could you ask for? <br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
I am writing this blog posting with two friends on my mind - one virtual friend - <a href="http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/" target="_blank">Tracie</a> from Tennessee and one friend I met in real live - <a href="http://www.tiffanylowder.com/" target="_blank">Tiffany</a> from Kentucky. I met them through their podcast, <a href="http://scrapgals.podomatic.com/" target="_blank">The Scrap Gals Podcast</a>.<br />
<br />
Tiffany and Tracie share my love for memory keeping and the big photo organisation is something they know all too well. Their show is fun to listen to and it was their show that made me hungry to finally tackle a task that has been sitting in a box for ages, 16 years to be precise. </div>

It expired.<br />
Looking at this bottle I can't help but smile. First, because this bottle demonstrates how we tick:<br />
We are so not into soda and softdrinks. Second, because (knowingly that we are not into soda) I had bought this bottle for a reason: Coke works for me as a remedy during those hot, humid summer days, when my stomach feels weak and don't feel well. A few sips from this bottle and I am good to go. Only that there was no such day in 2016, no need for this remedy.<br />
<br />

I started purging expired pharmaceuticals a few years ago. Once a year I weed through my medicine chest big style. The pile consisting of expired pharmaceuticals grew steadily over the last years, now it seems there is not much left to purge. So I was used to find those expired drugs that patiently sat in the drawer. But a Coke? Not a single small bottle (500ml) of Coke in 6, maybe 8 months? This surprised me. It is official: Coke plays 100% no role in our life. <br />
<br />
Btw, there is a reason I took a closer look at the bottle: I needed extra space in the fridge, room for sesame oil and almonds. Those of you who are familiar with sesame oil know about its short shelf-life. It's hard to finish a bottle of sesame oil before it goes rancid. Not this time! The new bottle of sesame oil replaces an empty bottle. Living together with a partner who supports my choices, including the game changer – living on a plant based diet, matters.<br />
<br />
Sorry if this posting made you thirst for a soda and you have none at your hands ... my sincere apologies!<br />

My memorabila box holds several of these. This is the fanciest one. Others were simple notebooks like the ones we used at school. To me my traveller's notebooks from the 1980's are total pageturnes. I enjoy flicking through them. <br />

One huge motivation that keeps me doing this is a podcast I have been listening to almost non-stop since January: <a href="http://www.thescrapgals.com/" target="_blank">The Scrap Gals podcast</a>.
Tiffany and Tracie are experts when it comes to scrapbooking. Their
show is 100% motivating and inviting, I find myself sewing (!) notebooks and
fllling them with memories on a monthly basis, all thanks to their podcast. <br />

A few weeks back, looking at this page, I felt like this

other words: Yes, this somehow does look childish. Well, having rediscovered my old scrapbooks I can say "Yes, I did enjoy making these!"<br />

This jacket had been mine for a few weeks in 1989. I borrowed it from a friend, sharing clothes was part of our wardrobe life back then. The biker jacket came with a story: it belonged to a former police officer who had worn the jacket at work, on his bike. (Truth? Myth? Nice story anyway!) Biker jackets where big. Flea markets where the place to go to. <br />
<br />
No doubt,
this piece of leather made me feel so cool. The first day at school, after the summer, walking up those steps in front of the school gate, where the guys used to hang out and scan us – the girls. I am not sure how well I actually rocked the coolness this jacket incorporated. What I can say for sure is that the guys did not handle my altered appearance all too well, speaking from their comments.<br />
Being a girl, d'awwh... <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I find myself scanning shops for "the certain jacket". Biker jackets are back, now tighter and tinier than ever. And of course pricier than ever.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
btw: The red tan in my face comes partly from the hot turtle neck I was wearing,
inside my friend's room, partly from the old photo paper (almst 30 years old, colours change over time) and of course from long days at the public pool.<br />
<br />
What this photo also tells me: take photos and keep them. They bring joy.<br />
<br />
best,<br />

<br />
<a href="https://ratherthanfacebook.blogspot.co.at/2017/01/analogue-blogging-aka-memory-journaling.html" target="_blank">Last week's memory journals/notebooks</a> quickly morphed into "rapid photoalbums"– "rapid", because compared to other, still empty albums, which I had sitting on the shelf for years, this goes really fast. Japan (2007!), Cuba (2001!!) - untouched albums! The photo piles are neatly stacked and sit next to empty albums. Well.<br />
<br />
Why not put photos on paper on a(n almost) daily basis?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I noticed that many photos have a story to tell. Who is going to tell the story, if not me? <br />
<br />
Besides the photos that need the story behind the moment, there are many unspectacular stories, small anecdotes, nevertheless, they often make my day.<br />
Now those small stories have the chance to become memories, thanks to the photo that pictures the moment. The photos "pin" small moment to my long-term memory. <br />
<br />
I remember my great-aunt looking at a family-portrait from her
childhood. She was 99 years old and was suffering from dementia. Holding
the wooden frame in her hands, looking at the photo, her mood changed
in an instant. She smiled. She was happy.<br />
<br />
Ok, it is
probably not the main purpose of my new hobby, to create a pile of
"Happy moments for possible future deseases". Speaking of purpose: Is
there any purpose at all? Maybe just "happy moments for today".<br />
<br />
Sounds better. :-)<br />
<br />
Now enough with the talking, let me walk you through the process of photo journaling:<br />

How popular is photo journaling? <br />
<br />
I could find numerous videos and blogs on Traveller's Journals/Midoris,
bullet journaling and art journals (those journals which come with lots
of watercolour on curly notebook pages), but there almost hardly any
blogs/videos on "Photo Journaling" out there. <br />
<br />
Carrying a journalist-gen I love going into depth,
exploring recently unknown topcis, to compare and also to look at the
background that comes with most stories. Recommendations are very welcome!<br />
<br />
Can you recommend some blogs/vlogs on photo journaling? I am curious to hear about them.<br />
<br />
Wait ... photo journal .... journalist.... Ha! This all adds up. :-D <br />
<br />
best, <br />
