Some more #fog ? It was a bit chill but veeerry silent.

I liked the mood there and how the bushes & trees vanished in the fog. Especially the dead tree at the end that looks like reaching out into the water.

Enjoy the silence 🙂

This black-and-white image captures a tranquil and mysterious scene of a foggy riverside. The river, calm and smooth, reflects the muted light of the overcast sky. Dense fog envelops the area, obscuring the background and creating an ethereal atmosphere.

On the left side of the image, a row of leafless trees stands along the riverbank, their bare branches reaching into the fog. The trees are partially shrouded in mist, adding to the sense of depth and mystery. The fog softens the outlines of the trees and the landscape, giving the scene a dreamlike quality.

The overall mood of the image is serene and contemplative, evoking a sense of peace and solitude. The monochromatic tones enhance the timeless and tranquil ambiance, capturing the quiet beauty of a foggy riverside. — This black-and-white image captures a tranquil and mysterious scene of a foggy riverside.

A row in Bavaria over billion-euro Microsoft contract without tender.

The Bavarian state government is facing massive criticism due to the planned awarding of a framework contract to Microsoft worth an estimated almost one billion euros over the next five years without a prior tender.

Critics warn of the loss of digital sovereignty in Bavaria and call for a halt to Microsoft negotiations.

Oh look, my quaint little hometown of Kempten in southern Bavaria has made it into international headlines!

Because a city employee embezzled 1 million Euros.

In coins.

From parking meters.

Words fail me 😵

(A 2 Euro coin weighs about 8 grams, so the whole loot must have been at least 4 metric tons overall. Impressive.)
