RE: View in the Valley / Aussicht ins Tal
I see the blue distance, the clouds float away - so begins one of the verses of my favorite song Somewhere over the Rainbow. Probably, when they talk about the blue distance, it should look exactly the way it is depicted in your photographs, my Dear friend @Johannpiber! Beautiful pictures. Another verse of this song fits to the photo where the green lawn is shown - I will dip into the foliage, pick flowers, they are made for gentle words! Tell your family the most tender words in the world, my friend! Christ is risen! (I did not use the original text of the song, this is my, semantic, translation from Russian, for this reason the words may differ slightly)
I love this song too, my friend @barski, and I also like the film "The Wizard of Oz" 😊
Thank you for the compliment.
I know, I have already mentioned this, but whenever I read your comments I am asking myself "where does he get these ideas from?" - you see a photo and a short time after you know a song, a text from the bible, an own story or a poem which matches with the photo. That's great and I admire you for that.
I wish you a nice evening my friend :)
Oz Country, great for these photos! In our country, this book, in a modified form, was called the Wizard of the Emerald City, by Volkov. In Soviet times, many books by foreign authors changed. As an example - Pinocchio. Alexey Tolstoy took Pinocchio's book motive and wrote his book about a wooden boy with a long nose, it was called Buratino. The same happened with the book Country of Oz. Volkov wrote a series of books in which a girl's name was Ellie, Toto's dog, an iron woodcutter, a scarecrow-scarecrow and a cowardly lion.
Wow, I did not know that. That was plagiarism as it is in the book - in the truest sense of the word ;)
Yes, as in many other things. Cars from Europe and the USA were driven in, they were copied, slightly changed shape and produced under various brands, but made in the USSR. So the car Moskvich 412, this is a BMW model of 1968, if I'm not mistaken. Volga, this is Buick, Lada, this is Fiat. It seems so, but in any case, it is plagiarism.
Now that you say it, I can see the similarities, at least between Lada and Fiat. Today I have learned something new for me :)
I always thought, only the Chinese were the great copiers, but the Russians were too.
At least they have changed and rebranded their copies, and at least the Lada was quite a good car, as far as I know.
The Chinese make exact copies with mostly less quality.
