Nice one jj.

The czechs do make top class beer and even in the centre of Prague it's comparatively cheap.

the Czechs brew the real Budweiser bear. The beer hat share the same name, but is brewed in the USA instead, is tasteless in comparison. https://business.time.com/2014/01/27/where-a-budweiser-isnt-allowed-to-be-a-budweiser/

The link was most interesting Tom.  I am not a big time beer drinker but I used to soak up a few mugs on occasion. (occasion: every day)

There are a gazillion "craft breweries" here in Florida.  It is quite the craze....evidently.  I have not bothered to go to one of those facilities because they seem compelled to bastardize the noble art of brewing........Chocalate almond beer ?  Pineapple flavored beer? Lemon infused beer? Fugedaboutit.

IK, R? I bought a "Double Depth Charge" dark ale awhile back, only to find that the "depth charges" were two whatever-you-call 'ems of espresso. Given my sensitivity to caffeine (I can't have caffeine past 1 PM if I want to go to sleep at 9 PM) it took me four days to finish the damned thing off, a bit at a time, and before I had had any other beer, so that it was earlier in the day...and I don't consume any alcohol before 4 PM. I think that some of that flavoring is for millennials. Though my sons don't drink that kind of stuff...much.  :o

A friend took this. I think it's really good.



The inclusion of two bits of orange-red, which is a complementary colour to green, was very clever. That colour makes the green foliage pop very nicely.

I enjoy photos like these that show beautiful textures we normally don't notice.

Rust formation is fascinating. It's especially interesting when galvanization is present. The flaky, scaly texture always forms in interesting ways.
