I updated my #Flickr album on Black and White experiments. Adding a few pictures and sorting again. Adding a short snippet of the story behind the pictures flic.kr/s/aHsmVx3vdh
In 2014 just a few months after arriving in #France we visited #Normandy and the #D-Day landing beaches. Omaha Beach is one, the most (in)famous. The image of the perfectly aligned tombs in the cemetery impacted me and haunts me since then flic.kr/p/2nc2D8g
After that visit I curated and arranged the pictures in this #Flickr album flic.kr/s/aHsjZmqJt4
We lived in #Malta for a year and bit. And we fell in love with the archipelago and its people. This is the Blue Grotto from the road that snakes down to the small town and jetty there. flic.kr/p/2nbUZ1y
More pictures of these amazing islands and its people in my #Flickr #Malta album flic.kr/s/aHsjDFM8kK
As I like to say #Paris always gives you a chance to take a picture, in and around the maze of the short and thin streets of the 2eme arrondissement this corner by the night was just: point and click! flic.kr/p/2nbVfVm
My niece was visiting #Paris and we did a walking tour from the Louvre and then into the heart of the 2eme, went to Palais Garnier, Place Vendome and circle back to Tulieres flic.kr/p/GvtNhi

#quote Mr Macron also faces a problem that responsible politicians always face when running against populists. He offers policies boringly grounded in reality. They say whatever will stir up voters, whether or not it is true
Populist fear mongering is the tactic of the extremists on both sides: economist.com/leaders/2022/0….

this is not working collaboratively in the Cloud!!! This is a mess!
If your changes are rejected by the server, or you loose your changes, the workaround? "Send an instant message or e-mail to the other authors letting them know about the changes you want to keep" WTF!!!!

Seguí caminando hacia mi viejo departamento y en Córdoba y Pasteur doblé y visité de nuevo la #AMIA dónde el ataque terrorista del 18 de julio de 1994 dejó 85 muertos y 300 heridos Image
Fue el peor ataque terrorista en la Argentina y el mayor contra la comunidad judía luego del fin de la 2da guerra. Aún sigue sin resolver y los que planificaron y ayudaron a realizarlo siguen libres.

Hoy, Diciembre 5, cada día voy a publicar una foto bastante especial hasta el 27 de Enero. Cuando recorro las calles de #París, cada colegio es un doloroso recuerdo de la persecución de judíos durante la 2da guerra mundial en Francia [...] flic.kr/p/R56unn
Desde la ocupación en 1940, y bajo el gobierno de Vichy la policía francesa persiguió a judíos y gitanos. En 1942 comienza la deportación a los campos de concentración. Este proceso termina en 1944 apenas días antes de la liberación de París [...] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holoc…
De los 340000 judíos franceses viviendo en Francia continental, 75000 fueron deportados... 72500 jamas regresaron. Poco es el consuelo de saber que Francia es el país en que mas judíos sobrevivieron al holocausto flic.kr/p/L7FZxv [...]

#11Novembre #ArmisticeDay Today it is 103 years since the Signature of the #armistice however the state of war persisted until the signature of the Treaty of Versailles in June 28th 1919
In France it is remembered as #ArmisticeDay , in other allied countries it changed to #RemembranceDay and in the US was changed to #VeteransDay
The WWI was called initially optimistically The war to end all wars, today it is used more ironically as the WWII brought more devastation. It took me a lot to starting to get an idea of understanding the world before, during the 2 world wars, and after... ⤵️
