And this is supposed to be a subject?
I have many such pictures and then check at home to see if the company still exists, what they are doing today, etc. A passion for history, basically. Is anyone else interested in this?

Und das soll ein Motiv sein?
Ich habe viele derartige Bilder und gucke dann zu Hause nach, ob es die Firma noch gibt, was die heute machen usw. Fabile für Geschichte halt. Interessiert das auch andere?

The brake still works, right?
At the Old Fortress, some vehicles from the colonial era still stand, now mostly unprotected. The question is how much longer they can withstand wind and weather.

Bremse funktioniert noch, oder?
Bei der Alten Feste stehen noch einige Fahrzeuge aus der Kolonialzeit, mittlerweile meist ungeschützt. Die Frage ist, wie lange sie noch Wind und Wetter trotzen können.

A king widowbird
In its splendid plumage, the male is black on the crown, the rest of the upper body, and the rump. The sides of the head, the nape, and the underside of the body are golden yellow. After the breeding season, the long feathers fall out during molting.
The king widow is a brood parasite.

Otjimbingwe
Once a thriving trading and mission outpost with a generally interesting history. The old buildings are partly left to decay.
