HiveFest⁹ was when? Last week, right?
Who can tell me what happened?
Sometimes at some times I feel time is different. We all know that feeling, right? As Albert said;
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”
— Albert Einstein
Time spent well. That's well said.
Well, in my case, I focus on my job. And because of that job, the reason of my perception of time might be the heavy metal I'm surrounded with. It makes me stu pet as duck. I started working straight after our trip from HiveFest. Guess what's my job this time.
I work hard all over Germany to ensure that you are supplied with electricity.
Do you know what's that? That's called Pure Wind Power. More or less “Green Energy”.
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to talk about the exact details of my tasks at the Wind Power Energy.
Only as much that I hang around inside. Or to say I have an insider job. Climbing around and do what I have to do.
But I can tell you a few things like;
These towers are 160 m tall. The blades have a radius of 138 m. One tower, or rather its turbine produces around 5 megawatts in good wind conditions. They run from 3 to 23 m/s. The lower part is made of concrete, and the upper part is made of steel. Kind of half half. I work mostly inside the metal part.
What my favourite part of this job is, when I'm not inside, is being outside in middle green nature. I enjoy sunsets, moonrises, thunderstorms, warm and cold. I got even short visitors from the white a few times in the last couple of weeks. You get it, it's the whole nature thingy.
These sunsets are stunning.
They make me humble again. When I fly too high.
Same to moonrises.
One evening after work, I was sitting comfortably in my chair watching the sunset when I suddenly noticed the moon rising out of the corner of my eye. At that moment, I was totally the opposite of grounded. Do you know that feeling of unity? Yes, that was me. That was us. You felt me, and I felt you. Wonderful <3
The next force of nature are thunderstorms.
Of course, I don't have many photos of those. Do you think I'm crazy?!
Wind, that strong, you can't even open your car's door. Not to mention the towers' gate. Rain in combination with wind, so heavy and strong that even if your umbrella survives, you will get wet either way, because the rain comes from below.
I had a few close encounters with lightning strikes right next to me. It's an experience. As long as it remains an experience, it's amazing. At the same time, it is frightening. Imagine, you sit comfortable in your camper while waiting for whatever reason, or sleep. Out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning chose the tower next to you, strikes with its maximum strength, so close that the impact vibrates through your whole body. So loud. So powerful. Nature, I bow down before you.
That's the lesson for gratitude.
In times of good weather conditions, we have a wonderful view.
While claudy, I find still sun in nature.
I took this one especially for my lady @llunasoul.
Hidden lakes to cool one's head after a long day of work.
Abandoned trails.
Insects everywhere!
Or their sleeping bag.
Ladybugs rave.
That's the thickest slug I've ever seen in Germany.
Tzz... nature. ^_^
If I would have recognised that game before?
Do you see if it's up or down?
When autumn strikes...
The fun part of getting stuck isn't far.
Then the rough time begins. A time of white silence. The steel feels colder. The daylight is short.
Now it counts.
Get cosy. Read. Meet your beloved ones. Play. Enjoy the silence. Travel.

Another thing beside life is
“Kendu Inu”. Remember? That's one thing I had my eyes on for a while now. I talked with a few of you about it. And maybe by now you might have read of it too. Looks promising. But what do I know. I don't know much about crypto, as I'm still a beginner. It will be my first cycle. The only thing I know is that Kendu has an amazing and hardworking community.
Now you know what has been keeping me busy. I might haven't replied, answering mentions or putting my part into commenting your well deserved posts. Nor put content from my side.
I've been a busy bee and expect well off in a sustainable range of jobs until the end of next year.
Love y'all. Peace out!
Hello there! How cool are these bug pictures as well as those from inside the wind tower.. man, getting dizzy just from looking at them. It's good there are people like yourself who dedicate their time (spent well) to do maintenance in these things.. I would be worthless :)
Sending hugs over there from sunny Spain :)
Thanks for the uplift, and the hugs and sun 🙏🏽😌
Worthless sounds very harsh in my opinion 😆
Sorry for the frosty hugs from over here 🥶
Haha, well I know myself very well and climbing that thing would result in a nightmare in many ways so yeah, worthless hehe. I could take pictures that look fabulous though, so there's that :)
Oh well the frosty hugs even out the warm ones over here, it's fine!
Have a fab weekend!

Thanks for the update! Love the mystery around the job details. 🤫
Seems a nice mix of working and getting to appreciate nature!
Glad you didn’t get struck by lightning ⚡️
I screamed SHAZAM!⚡ But nothing happened.
The mystery is fantastic!
Thanks for your comment 🙏🏽
I didn't know about the door opening thing, but wind at 120mph can stop you from falling down, thats how fast they make the wind for wind tunnels. Lovely nature you have there. It looks like it could be lonely, but at least out in the nature.

I didn't know about the 120 mph. But to stop you from falling the wind has to come from below I assume.
In our cases, the wind mostly doesn't come from below. Let me calculate anyway;
We had a lil storm with 28 m/s - that's pur metering.
28m/s*2.23694mph/m/s=62.60mph
Only half. And not from below. Mhh, if one could survive that? Will be a hard landing.
Lonely. Sometimes. But, you know, there a books, I have my guitar and, yes, nature. Time for myself.
Thanks for your comment and sharing 😉👍🏽
Hey, good to see a post from you. Focus on the job, and what a job - wow, you always surprise us with interesting ones, and this time it is even harder than the previous ones, I imagine the wind, oh my... what an experience! Climbing the mast in Split was child's play for you 😆
I'm glad to hear that I can surprise yous.
Haha, yes, in a way, it was a cakewalk for me climbing that mast in Split. And I will always be up for children plays to keep my inner child happy 🤗
Happy to read your comment 👋🏽😌
