Buttons used to be the thing. Today … not so much (Nö!).
Interesting aside (interesting for people interested in language, that is): Button is “Knopf” in German but these buttons are called … drumroll … “Buttons”.

Super 7 1/2
It wasn’t exactly a home movie, it was the film project of a drama student in 1981. We used to shoot our films in Super 8 and they looked like home movies most of the time. I remember I did a stop-motion something, foreshadowing my experiments with minikins, but of so little note that even I don’t remember much about it let alone have a copy.
I do remember more about the project of a fellow student in which I had a minor part. I played the unfaithful girlfriend of a young soldier, discovered in bed with the new conquest. Since we didn’t have sound the situation was conveyed by having a picture of me and the boyfriend on the nightstand prominently displayed. That’s the photo above.
PS: I just realised that I have used this photo before explaining a bit more about the “movie”: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2023/03/19/not-quite-a-slasher-movie/

Lift off
What has this photo to do with wind, you might ask. Look at it enlarged below:

After the Downpour
No that’s not a rice paddy. It’s a mealie field (maize, corn), freshly planted, after a particularly heavy downpour.
The Modern Stoop
Life is hard and then you die. He’s carrying the world upon his shoulders. Even amidst all this beauty. But the stoop hasn’t come naturally, it’s the result of many, many, many hours of training. Ragtag Daily Prompt: Stoop
Symbolism
The orb with cross, the globus cruciger, symbolised Christ’s domination over the world in the hand of a worthy ruler during the Middle Ages. I have no idea whether this particular ruler, a figure in a facade of the Heidelberg Castle that is not completely in ruins, was a particular worthy ruler. In fact I tried to find out who he was because I liked the kitty at his feet but I gave up because there are so many of these figures.
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Sovereignity
