We had a nice #sunset today. There were a few clouds and the sun hid behind them shortly before sunset.
enter image description here
Photos get pretty dramatic when you zoom in and the camera tries to adjust white balance. It wasn't quite that orange,
enter image description here
just a little bit. The sunset itself was quite "regular" then,
enter image description here
but zoomed in the colours turned dramatic again.
enter image description here
Not regular at all however was that bright area on the sea after the sun went down. I guess sunlight got reflected by clouds we couldn't see because they were hidden by clouds we could see.
enter image description here
So I quickly went to the harbour to get a better view from a slightly higher vantage point than the beach. Remember: The sun was down already, but there was a bright patch of sea, while everything around was regular dark.
enter image description here
I took a final shot of this fishing boat leaving the harbour with lights already turned on, while the ships out there in that bright patch had not turned their lights on yet. I don't think I've seen such a phenomenon before.

Only for those who are able to listen to the pro-Russian/Chinese and Western critical stance on certain Western policies, for everyone else it is a waste of time.
Some of these points need review, but I will say that it is important to hear all positions on issues.

I avoid taking sides, but I tend to listen more to the side that is hated by the masses.
Therefore, I like to share posts that contradict the mainstream news without completely assuming their truthfulness. Because, I want to avoid having to stand there at some point and say with the chorus.
“I didn't know anything about all this.”

Ich bin wahrscheinlich schon zu lange raus aus dem Land, denn diese Situation schien allen Passanten egal zu sein. Für mich war es dagegen äußerst ungewohnt.
enter image description here
Das Foto stammt noch von Januar, als auch in #Berlin #Bauernproteste stattfanden. Im Foto sieht man die Kreuzung Chausseestr./Invalidenstr., hinter der Kamera (also vor dem Naturkundemuseum) ist alles voller Traktoren, zumindest in dieser Fahrtrichtung.

Warum habe ich aber das Foto gemacht? Man sieht, wie viele Polizisten da herumstanden - und plauderten. Die Ampel war abgeschaltet, aber nicht ein einziger Polizist kam auf die Idee, vielleicht mal den Verkehr zu regeln. In Taiwan wäre das ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit.

Gerade heute bin ich an zwei Unfällen vorbeigekommen. Es war jeweils ein Streifenwagen vor Ort. Der Streifenwagen stand dabei schützend vor dem Unfallgeschehen, damit kein unachtsamer Verkehrsteilnehmer reinfährt. Ein Polizist nahm den Unfall auf, der andere regelte den Verkehr um den Unfall herum.

Sobald hier in #Taiwan eine Ampel zur Zeit von normalem Verkehr ausgeschaltet wird, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, steht da mindestens ein Polizist auf der Kreuzung. Dass da eine Gruppe Polizisten neben einer Kreuzung mit deaktivierter Ampel steht und einfach nur plaudert - das gibt es nicht. Aber mit dem Service hat man es in D ja generell nicht so...

About time...

Taiwan pledges to remove 760 statues of Chinese dictator Chiang Kai-shek | #Taiwan | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/23/taiwan-pledges-to-remove-760-statues-of-chinese-dictator-chiang-kai-shek

In move seen by the opposition as an attempt to de-sinocise Taiwan, the ruling party is pushing ahead with plans to rid the island of monuments to the dictator

Dear Guardian, you make it sound as if there's one party doing this and all other parties are against it. That is not the case. Against the removal are the KMT and a number (not even all) of their offshoots. Those people never considered themselves Taiwanese, always emphasized (even in third generation born in Taiwan) that they came from "other provinces". And yes, they worshipped the mass murderer - and still do.

This has long been overdue. Next move please: Rename all roads named after him. In every city, town etc there is a 中正路, usually one of the largest roads. To my knowledge, only Chiayi city has always been rebellious: While they have such a "road", it's actually more an alley and not a very long one at that. Sun Yat-sen got the honour of an important road, but not the dictator.

Moving on...

There had been an #earthquake in #Taiwan last week, near #Hualian at the East coast. Meanwhile more and more videos of it surface and I'm posting this one to show how the warning system in Taiwan works.

Germany for example is trying all kinds of complicated and error-prone methods to warn its citizens, when cell broadcast and sirens are so simple. The second vehicle in the video seems to be traveling on the road connecting Taichung and Hualian, near the Taroko gorge. The sound you hear multiple times is the earthquake warning by cell broadcast.

I had wondered why (at the West coast) there had been no earthquake warning, but they had probably limited it to the East coast. As you can see, the warning was early enough to give them a few seconds to get to cover. I only hope the person on that scooter found cover too.

I don't know where the warning came from that you hear in the video of the third vehicle. Radio broadcast? I don't listen to radio... But it worked too. Btw, unlike in Hollywood movies you won't really see vehicles crashing into another. I assume we have extremely boring directors who will never win an Oscar...

Multiple buildings have #collapsed after a Pair of Massive 7.5 Earthquakes Strikes Triggering Tsunami

📌#Taipei | #Taiwan

a pair of powerful, massive earthquakes has just occurred. The first one measured a magnitude of 7.5, followed by a 7.4 magnitude aftershock moments later. Numerous reports indicate strong to violent shaking, with multiple buildings swaying back and forth. Additionally, multiple buildings have collapsed. Tsunami warnings and sirens have been activated, sounding off an emergency warning and urging residents to evacuate immediately.

M7.4 #Earthquake at #Taiwan West Pacific/Unrest Will Spread Next Several Days

(Dutch gives his usual coverage in this nearly one hour long video of the current earthquake status, also more about how to predict them, and also predicts nine 6point [or more] quakes coming in the next week all around the world.
And the possibility of another 7.4 in about the next 3 days on the opposite side of the planet from Taiwan, around #Chile or #Bolivia. He says he will be back on his youtube channel coming up, and "Don't be scared, be prepared...")

Note, the above video from 2019 is on the day of the largest earthquake in Califorina in the past 20 years. I had issued a warning 2 days before, calling for M7+ level to strike central California. Then on July 4, 2019 the M7+ earthquake struck Central California at Ridgecrest CA.

When the large earthquake hit, people demanded that I make a new video explaining the method (how to repeat the earthquake forecasting method). Which I did promptly upon the quake striking.

By watching both videos (the long version and the short robot text version), you should be able to start doing your own basic seismic forecasting, and develop it into something very accurate.

Currently we are able to get things down to about 200 miles of an area (a region or state), within 1 magnitude of what actually strikes, and within 7 days time (sometimes 10 days depending on the size of the area or events moving).

Taipei replica in remote Chinese province fans Taiwan invasion fears

The satellite images show a detailed replica of the heart of Taipei – albeit surrounded by the arid landscape of Inner Mongolia instead of Taiwan’s lush vegetation.

First posted on social media by a Taiwanese data analyst, on March 26, they were later picked up by the website Taiwan News, under the ominous headline: “China creates Taipei mockup to train for invasion”.

FRANCE 24 was able to verify the existence of the mockup, located some 1,200 kilometres west of Beijing.
