Since Krautzone's demise, I did not have a peertube account, however I have now created one on @ysb33r@peertube.wtf.

I posted one skiboarding video as a test: peertube.wtf/w/bco1weoeKVeCmUX

In the above posting, what is the hot drink?

2025-06-16

Probably not much to see here, except from the viewpoint of a person on a chair, who sat next to a stream, boiled some water and made a hot drink.

#hiking #trailfood #pyrenees

A green mug containing a hot drink stands on the grass in front of a titanium pot, which in turn is in front of a small stove with a green canister. The backdrop is a burbling stream.

"I go into the mountains to lose my mind and to find my soul".

Great documentary about the Fish River Canyon in Namibia.

I've also got an invite to join a group in July 2026. I think I am going to do it again.

@geoff_eg I'm biased, but I don't think the B&W does the valleys on the Little Berg justice.

@bergmeister Klink soos 'n wonderlike stap wat voorlê.

@bergmeister Thanks for all the information

@NafiTheBear @larstransportworld This is like Toulouse. It is at the arse end. To go from Toulouse to Geneve, you have to go to Paris first. I think it is actually quicker to drive.

Same thing Toulouse to Marseille.

These maps illustrate the pain so well.

@bergmeister that's impressive

2025-05-18

@elperronegro that's great stuff.

@jds more seriously, looks like a nice glissade down on the right.

@jds Sandals, t-shirt & single paddle should do it 😜

@NerdyKeith "It plans to reduce water withdrawal at its facilities to 2.2 litres per litre of oat milk produced within the next five years, while improving water quality and soil health".

At least they are acknowledging the amount of water consumed in the production of plant-based milk and the need to reduce it.

@GLaG_38 this is the best I can reply with - not as a professional shot as yours.

Background: The peak is Mdedelo(3148m) in the Drakensberg. The photo was taken from the top of the Champagne Castle peak (3377m).

#drakensberg #southafrica #hiking

Clouds are sucked up vertically in the air streams and engulfs a large blocky peak.  The right side of the peal is visible, but the left-side is obscured in places by the cloud. There are some cloud above the peak.

@bergmeister I thought Dutch people might want to use "raam" instead, but then the rhythm falls apart. In Afrikaans "raam" merely means "frame".
or "estimate".

@bergmeister I just rralised #FensterFreitag also sounds good as #VensterVrydag (AF) or #VensterVrijdag (NL) too.

2025-05-09

Does this count as #FensterFreitag ? It was my window to the world one morning this shoulder season?

(View from Injasuthi Summit Cave looking east).

#hiking #drakensberg

View from a basalt cave acts like a window with the dark sides of the cave contrasting with the light and colours of a sunrise on the horizon
