Here we go:
]
My daughter and I slogged across the just-melted lawn to try to get some good photos before sunset. I picked my personal favorite for my entry.
This installation is of course called "Shuttlecocks" (1994) and is a bona fide local attraction. At least one other photographer was shooting here at the same time, and there are a number of people wandering around the sculptures just out of view.
The birdies are ginormous, 586 cm long x 487 cm diameter, and give the impression that a group of giants has been playing badminton using the art gallery in the background as the net. IMHO, the fanciful installation makes the gallery much more approachable -- before they were there, it seemed more fortress-like rather than inviting.
I wish the mall, or esplanade, or whatever was a little greener, but turf grass is still dormant here in March, so ya work with what ya got.

If I figure it out, I'll let you know for sure.
The "sharing" I write of specifically in this case is using the jockr app's flickr sharing plugin to post images from gallery to Flickr. But it's not just that . . .
Unfortunately, sharing in general got broken on my device at some point. Can't share pictures to MMS, email, etc. Or contact info, for that matter. When I try to share a picture, card, etc., I see no accounts available for sharing even though they are there.
I can receive pictures just fine, whether by mms or email. Contact cards too. If I were a frequent picture texter, I'd have probably already reflashed sailfish, but I'm not, so I haven't.

If you can't figure out where one of the offending plugins comes from, you can enter
Code:
pkcon what-provides name-of-the-plugin

But what do I know, to the experts it is a 'nice use of the "rule of thirds"'
and the attractive gradient in the sky on the top 2/3.
PS
I have a similar example from some years back. The company I was working for at the time was rebranding and the head of marketing did a presentation on the new features. One of them was widening the spaces between the letters in the company logo. His justification was that it conveyed the idea that we are more "open".
My reaction? A complete BS. First of all, I would not have even noticed unless I saw the two logos side by side and second - wider spaces = more open? Really? It may possibly mean something to other marketing directors or typographical buffs who eat and breathe this stuff but outside their small bubble, no one really cares.
I asked a few colleagues who also attended that presentation and all their reactions were exactly the same as mine

Drinking more than two bottles is easy, if you are trained to it and Weissbier ist veeeery common in southern Germany.
Funny enough I normally prefer dark Weissbier which is a contradiction to it's name. But the dark one have a malty taste which I like very much.
