Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

The past days here have been very sad. Many places have been completely destroyed by the water masses after dams burst and the rivers overflowed. More than 100 people have died, many are now homeless, and lost everything they had. The water masses washed bridges and roads away, houses were broken apart, and some houses floated along the streets. Many places are completely cut off from the rest of the world, and have no electricity or telephone. My heart goes out to all those who have lost so much, and to the families of those who lost their lives. You can read more here. The helpers, emergency services and army are working round the clock to help, and some idiots get in the way while trying to get a good 'catastrophe selfie' to post on their social media accounts. Unbelievable.

In our little town there is flooding at the Rhine and on the meadows, but up till now not more. The Rhine will continue to rise, as we are here on the Lower Rhine, and the flood water will pass through here, so I hope it will be moderate. And I wonder how long people will continue to ignore the climate changes that are taking place. We need to act NOW, tomorrow will be too late.

For Alison's  summer country challenge at AJJ I have another hybrid journal page, the sentiment seems rather cynical after the events of the past days:

And I have another tag for Sandie's music challenge at Tag Tuesday

You still have a week to join in:

And I have some flower and insect  photos to cheer myself up, I don't want to show pictures of the flooding:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lo for coming by!
