Remembering Alan Turing who was born #OTD in 1912.

Maybe the world of computers would be a different one without him.

Today, 20 000 people are being evacuated and three bridges over the Rhine closed as three WWII bombs are being disarmed.

This is not just breaking a taboo on a day where the Bundestag was supposed to remember the Holocaust, it will backfire for the Conservatives as the pandering to the far right has backfired for the Tories in Britain.

A huge victory for the AfD. A dark day for Germany.

Why do people never learn.

Something a little scrappier today. A quick color study of (another!) red mill. I wanted to get the fabulous color differences in the reflection. Once I've tweaked the composition this may well end up in a bigger version #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorlandscape #chromamagic

Some abstract #watercolour experiment, just using different techniques (plastic card, table salt, Brusho powder). Reminds me of an underwater scene with corals, maybe? 🤔

Yesterday in Cologne, we saw one of the most difficult bomb disarmaments since 1945. 3(!) hospitals and 6.400 people had to be evacuated.

You wanna guess how many (mainly WWII) bombs are being disarmed PER YEAR in Germany?
5500.
