Easter Wells

Apr 15, 2006 17:04

Not that I'm in the slightest bit envious inhabitants of a certain island get to watch new Dr. Who episodes tonight. No, not me. However, being in Franconia, I got to watch Easter Wells, as every year, which isn't half bad, either. What are Easter Wells? Have a look. Icon makers, if any of these tickle your fancy for an Easter icon, feel free. ( Eggs, Water, Beauty )

Oh, those are lovely - I love the variety of color surrond by deep green - beautiful.

You should see them in sunlight. But April isn't inclined that way this year, alas.

So beautiful! I can't imagine how many hours went into each of these.

We're getting new-to-us episodes in the US. I just watched Dalek and liked it muchly. Still going to get the eps on DVD in July, as I hear that like HL, there are Eurominutes to be had.

Dalek was a fantastic episode, and I wouldn't know about Eurominutes, having watched the British version, but it's entirely possible - after all, they were shot in British format, i.e. without the US count of ads in between.

What I did hear were rumours they were going to cut for (bisexual) content later on in the US version, but I hardly see how that would work, given that it would mean nearly cutting out an entire character who is rather important in the later eps...

Ooh, DW is starting up again? Excellent. I will scan for torrents. Hot damn!

And those eggy wells (Is Easter Wells Tucker's ancestor?) are AWESOME. And kind of ridiculous! Thanks for posting the photos. I've never seen anything like that.

They only exist in this region of Germany (Franconia) for a very limited amount of time (i.e. during the Easter holidays). The 'rents and self go on a tour through the villages to watch and enjoy each year.

Tucker: and here I pegged him as having been descended from H.G....

Hi! Lovely photos! Thank you for sharing them. I made an bunny icon, from the unfaithful husband-bunny photo.
(and have credited you in the userpics comments for the photo)

Oh, that is an adorable icon, and I'm glad you used the photo!
