Cairns / Steinmännchen

in #photography5 years ago

Actually, I wanted to use other photos for this post.

Die Fotos zu diesem Post hätten eigentlich andere sein sollen.

Cairns / Steinmännchen

On the place I wanted to photograph are hundreds of them, but any time I drove past it on my way across the Vršič pass, the small gravel parking lot was full of cars and people were everywhere, so I could not take pictures.
But on my last two hikes, I found these cairns, and I liked them so much that I have to show them.

Auf dem Platz, den ich eigentlich fotografieren wollte, stehen hunderte dieser Steinmännchen, aber jedes Mal, wenn ich auf meinem Weg über den Vršič Pass dort vorbeifuhr, war der kleine Schotterparkplatz voll mit Autos und überall waren Menschen, weshalb ich keine Fotos machen konnte.
Aber auf meinen letzten beiden Wanderungen habe ich diese Steinmännchen gefunden, und sie haben mir so gut gefallen, dass ich sie unbedingt zeigen muss.

In the middle of an old moss-covered birch forest, this little guy was sitting lonely and alone on a rock. There was no other cairn anywhere around this place.

Mitten in einem alten moosüberwachsenen Birkenwald saß dieser kleine Kerl einsam und allein auf einem Felsen. Weit und breit war kein anderes Steinmännchen zu sehen.

I can't help, but this face looks so familiar to me 😊

On my hike to the Martuljek waterfalls this place was between hiking trail and river. I suppose that if the river carries more water, the area is flooded, otherwise there would probably have been more cairns.

Auf meiner Wanderung zu den Martuljek Wasserfällen war dieser Platz zwischen Wanderweg und Fluss. Ich nehme an, wenn der Fluss mehr Wasser führt, ist der Bereich überschwemmt, sonst wären wahrscheinlich mehr Steinmännchen hier gewesen.

Even today, these cairns are used as signposts, but nowadays you can find them almost everywhere, where you can find stones.
Some like them, some find them pointless and some do not care. The two cairns I show here are simple, but somehow cool.

Auch heute noch werden diese Steinmännchen als Wegmarkierungen verwendet, aber inzwischen findet man sie fast überall, wo Steine liegen.
Manche mögen sie, manche finden sie sinnlos und manchen sind sie egal. Die beiden Steinmännchen, die ich hier zeige sind einfach, aber irgendwie cool.

i think I already posted my shots a while ago..

Yes, the look really cool sometimes when there are places full of these stone towers like on your photo. I liked especially that lonely one which I have found in the middle of the wood.
Thank you very much, @qwerrie, have a nice day and a great weekend 🙂

Hey @johannpiber, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

Mulțumesc pentru bere 🙂

Wow, nice these cairns photography.

Thank you very much that you like the photos of the stacked stones, @kamrunnahar, I appreciate it 🙂

Hey @kamrunnahar, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

They are simple but also very cool I do agree I think as you say in the past they were direction markers now often they are just an expression of art

@tipu curate

@trdo

!BEER

Thank you so much JJ :)
Last time I really wanted to stop there and take some photos, but there was no places to park and people were in between the cairns. I will have to take the photos before the ground becomes white or wait until next year ;)

I didn't think these bots would work together, at least not the tipu bot, but they do :)))
Testing phase is over and now we should curate posts of others, I think.
!BEER

Yes I think it’s cool they all work together so testing phase is over
Now on as you say to curate others

!BEER

Good morning JJ,
I have just found out, that curating is not that easy, because when you have only 3 posts to curate per day, it's hard to decide which one I should take, because an hour later I might see a much better post ;)
!BEER

Good morning for me gidday for you and yes that is a problem and another problem is some of the bigger accounts will not upvote those that have got a Tipu vote already from what I have heard so it makes choosing which ones to curate a problem as well as I do not want to reduce their chance of getting a bigger upvote LOL
giving !BEER is so much easier

But the !BEER is out at the moment, so we have nothing to give - maybe a !COFFEEA but you don't drink hot drinks.

Good morning JJ - the sun is shining here and the weekend is near 🙂

It will take a while until the whole thing runs as it should, I think. Some will stop curating and some will carry on doing it. I have curated two posts today and had to wait about half an hour until tipu voted. I meant 100% (6/6) means I can vote 6 times, but after these two votes, which I voted at 0.5 each my mana was at 0%. Maybe I am a bit stupid, but I do not get the rules somehow ;)

Ohh No were in the Pub with no !Beer situation again I hope not because of us LOL

I went for a morning walk, but quite cool and not colors and the wind was whipping away no photos but a good walk at least

And I dont totally get it all yet either i guess with time we will work it out

Yes, the beer is still out and the coffee token did never work for me, I think. Have you ever tried the !ENGAGE token again? I miss the beer 😭

The most important thing is the walk, but you know that anyway ;)

Right, time will teach us and time will make the curation system better too :)

Thanks a lot for one more beer 🙂



Hey @tattoodjay, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

~absolutely inspiring photographs! Bravo!
I love the framing, the colors, the mood ... everything :))

Thank you so much for the kind words you found for these stones, @afrouli, I really appreciate it, that you like my photos 🙂
!BEER



Hey @afrouli, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

Very nice stone people! The first one has very good mood while the second person is very shy! Nice personalities! But they are not very talkative!

No, they don't talk - I have asked the little stone man, which I have found in the forest, where his friends are, but he didn't answer - he didn't even look at me ;)
Thanks you so much for your nice words, dear @kaminchan, I wish you a great weekend 🙂

@johannpiber lovely photos as always, this little guy looks to me like Ninja Turtle or Predator 😉.

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah, it looks somehow so familiar to me, but I have no idea on whom or what I am thinking of, when I see it ... Ninja Turtle sounds good though ;)
As always, thank you so much, that you like the photos, @cezary-io, I wish you a great weekend 🙂
