*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2023.10.21 ***

Sun is coming

It's my fave, but all the scenes are breathtaking.

Great series. This is my pick, but the rest are outstanding in their own right.

My fave, but the rest certainly give us the scope and depth of the place.

History lesson to us all. Excellent captures.

Great pp. The bear is intact, I reckon?

For some reason there is an end of summer vibe to this shot, so calm and still.

Intact, as in alive and not stuffed? Yes, it is a living bear. I could have doubled checked to see if it was a guy in a suit, but I feel like the consequences of being either right or wrong in that situation would be a lose-lose for me.

Broken camera = instant art.

Nice vibe in this. For some reason it makes me think of a meteor crashing down - or a rocket going up!

It's always interesting to return back to a place where we once lived. I'm sure some of it has changed, and some was remembered differently, especially when we see it again with our own eyes today. Things look different when you're younger. But the memories still come back :-)
The photos are interesting, looks like an interesting place.

I'm guessing that "bit of wire" welded in place is about 7-8 mm thick. You can just about see it in the photo above of the propeller, It only has to stop the nuts from turning so I guess it did it's job OK, but you are much more the structural engineer than I am ;-)

It certainly helps in the appreciation of such artworks when you know more of the history behind them.
Well lit, nicely composed & noise free shots:-)

Thanks :-)
Why so wet?
Well maybe,...
In the last few days the Föhn wind has been blowing from the south. Not sure far how south you are, but it could be that, that caused the wet weather for you, while it's been reasonably dry and warm for me on the other "northern" side of the Alps.

When that south wind is forced to rise up, because the Alps are "in the way", it cools down, condences and rains on the southern side.
The dryer air now flows on over the the top and warms up while it falls back down the other side. Making it sunny and warm for me :-)

When the wind blows from the North, the opposite happens of course, but that wind direction happens less often.

A peaceful scene.

Love this shot, nicely framed and the clouds are topping there.

Your estimation of this locking wire thickness is probably quite close. But I think that this is not done for working propeller, as it stands too much out from otherwise streamlined construction, it could be that it was welded later when propeller was put out on dry land to prevent stealing propeller blades and selling it as scrap metal: after fall of soviet union this metal stealing was out of control, nowadays it not so easy to sell stolen metal any more, but it still happens.

Meteo France has been calling it an "épisode méditerranéen", an incursion of warm air from the Med. I guess that may well result in Fohn conditions to the north. Lucky you! It dried up last night and left the first dusting of snow on the peaks.
