So it took a tad long for me to sort through the load of photos me and Genox took from the Swiss National Day [1st of August] fireworks. But it’s finally done, and you can check out a selection here in this album.
It was a quite a lovely day, starting with a good load of BBQ and ending with possibly the most exquisite fire works I’ve ever seen up close. And I’m not putting that lightly. We were on the top of a heal in Niederwil, so that we had a good view to all the surrounding houses and farms. It seems like the people of Switzerland make it very much their personal business [and not necessarily a government responsibility, as it is often the case in Canada for instance] to make the 1st of August celebrations as shiny as possible. Basically, every single house in the vicinity had their own fireworks, some of which were really really amazing. So imagine standing on a top of heal, in the middle of a circle of fireworks, quite a few of which put the Y2K fireworks to shame. Huge colourful glow raining on you from all directions. You try to catch everything with your eyes… and more than a few times I came very close to falling down backwards… It was completely insane and truly awesome.
Seeing how there’s now about a good 2000 photos in my Lothlorien gallery, I decided it![DSC01527[1]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Tl7xVSHEwJs/S4ikLr-OyjI/AAAAAAAAASw/dI4pp8TdvV0/DSC01527%5B1%5D%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 "DSC01527[1]")
was time for a “favourites” album.. which was in fact suggested by a few friends already. So I asked a bunch of my friends to vote for their favourites, the photos they think should be placed in the favourites album, a few weeks ago. And now I finally got a chance to sit down and go through all the suggestions, pick them and collect them in the new album. And here it is, check out our Favourites album. =)
Of course new suggestions are always welcome, so if you think that the album is missing something, let me know. There are no rules, the photo can be from any album on Lothlorien. The only semi-rule is: it’s best if your suggestion hasn’t already been posted to the “Me” album. But if you absolutely have to, then it’s ok. =))
Hey people, now you can find some new kool photos in my photo-blog, check’em out! 😉 And you can also check out Genox’s Flickr page for some nice shots from Toronto. =)
First of all, a note to the guys and gals who asked for the Distillery photos. I’ve now posted a few of those in my phlog. Just for you. 🙂
With regards to amv’s comment on the last post, the Demovibes website seems to be up and about now: www.demovibes.org
What else….oh yeah. In my on going scene-music diggage, I finally found…well… let me try to explain to you what I found. The Assembly 2006 freestyle music competition happened on around 7:45 of a Saturday morning [Toronto time]. So I was half asleep when the competition started, and I was watching the web-tv on my notebook in bed. I remember hearing this fantastic song that took my breath away, but somewhere in between my struggle to open my eyes and a silly stream blink, I ended up missing the song info. So now after going through almost all the competition entries, finally I found it. “When Time Stands Still” by PK, check it out.
Also, I know that some of you have already discovered this, but if you haven’t, make sure you check out “Aufgewacht Und Tee Gemacht” by Genox. [Ummm…”Woke up and made tea”?! I just hope I got the spelling right.] I’ve been listening to this about 10 times a day recently. One of the best that I’ve heared from this artist so far. Absolutely brilliant.
These 2 tracks speak directly to my heart. <3 <3 :>
And that’s about it for now……
Update: Umm Guys…there’s a new comment on the first part of the display report that you might like to check out. 🙂
