Hello to all,
I'm Saschaporsche,
started my first Wiki changes in 2008, made my first wikipedia page in 2009. I really enjoy taking part in this great project ! Please do feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my contributions!
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
I started to collect some images that have a special meaning to me, some are just utterly beautiful, some are exceptional, however i would like to share these with the occasional viewer of this page, enjoy!.... (see also 1000 Meisterwerke)
Silhouette of the space shuttle Endeavour. The image was photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member prior to STS-130 rendezvous. The orange layer is the troposphere, where all of the weather and clouds which we typically watch and experience are generated and contained. This orange layer gives way to the whitish Stratosphere and then into the Mesosphere.Leo Belgicus KaeriusPorsche 911 Carrera RSR of Martini Racing (1973) Solitude Revival 2022Porsche 911 2.4 TargaPOY 2012Venus Disarming Cupidhet ronde huis, Nunspeet (sadly has been taken down...)Porsche Spyder Rometsch - Harry Merkel - 1954A girl can never have too many admirers!
