#Metal music has anger, love, DEI, truth-telling, and more. So why don't we use it to solve everyday problems, such as having fun at work, lacking identity, or standing for our rights? Metal artists put a lot of effort into crafting their art, and we can find the best use of it just by listening.
I want to interview key players in the metal world and do a #Foss#cc documentary to encourage even more people to help themselves!

Pandion haliaetvus, osprey, also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. Found on every continent except Antarctica…they’re amazing to watch while they’re fishing. They carry the fish head pointed forwards to keep down drag. #fishing#birds#nature#ecology#CC#photography#naturephotography
Blue-capped Motmot (Momotus coeruliceps). They can serve as an ecological indicator. They’re sensitive to habitat changes, and their presence or absence can reflect the health of the ecosystem. Conservation efforts for Motmots benefit their entire ecosystem. #nature#ecology#biodiversity#photography#NotMyPersonalPhoto#CC#wildlife

J’ai l’impression que le CC est allé au-delà de ce qui était attendu, non ?
Meine Tochter (19) wohnt seit diesem Semester in Frankfurt. Sie findet es dort zwar ganz nett, aber sie vermisst die Natur ein wenig. Also sind wir (Mama, Papa, kleine Schwester) heute hin, um mit ihr einen Ausflug ins Grüne zu machen. Gar nicht so einfach in Frankfurt, also wenn man richtig raus will, nicht nur in einen größeren Park. Unser Ziel: die Schwanheimer Düne. Eine große Binnendüne, die in der letzten Eiszeit entstand. Dem sandigen Untergrund entsprechend, hat sich ein lichtes Kiefernwäldchen gebildet. Den Steg mussten wir zweimal entlang laufen, so toll fanden alle die Landschaft.
Die Runde war viel zu kurz (nur knappe 6 km). Deswegen haben wir noch spontan Frankfurt-Höchst besucht. Das lohnt sich auch. Ein sehr schöner, mittelalterlicher Stadtkern. Ein barockes Residenzschlösslein und viel buntes Fachwerk. Die Striche neben dem Torbogen sind Hochwassermarken.
Der Ausflug war also ein voller Erfolg. Die ganze Familie hat diesen winterlichen Ausflug sehr genossen.
What I miss are more people who, as curators, keep an eye on the numerous new releases and catalogs and give expert advice on what is interesting to listen to. Curators who understand that a (net)label in a #cc meaning is an exciting social phenomenon that is based on trust. They are not companies or marketing agencies for more clicks. Above all, fortunately, they are rarely companies that want to sell products.
