With A Little Help...

 
 
 This is from Linda again, sweet, isn´t it?
 
Other...
 

 I need  some help. too!
 

 I can do on my own!
 

 These youngsters from the Braunschweig exhibit from April are of course for...
 

The internet series:

"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone


 Grünau Broadcasting House, Berlin

This striking post-expressionist building has served a variety of functions over the years. It initially served as a rowing and recreation center in the 1930s, until the Wehrmacht acquired the building in 1940. During the war, it was used as an auxiliary hospital, during which it sustained some damage. After the victory over the Nazis, the building served first the Soviet Union and then the GDR as a broadcasting center, training center, and recording studio.

After its auction and subsequent acquisition by municipal artists, the broadcasting center is now nothing more than a dilapidated ruin."
 

Looks still OK from the outside, don´t you think?
 
Henry 🦁
 
 
Yes, Baby, I am sure that´s your roar I hear! Big boy, you!

Hello Iris,
I love the Clydesdale horses, they are beautiful.
Cute dinosaur exhibit, Little Henry is a favorite.
It is a shame the center is not being used now, it looks ok.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

The thank goes to Linda :-) And Henry says... roar! (means "thank you").
I´d love to see the building from the inside and I wonder who pays for the space it stands on.

Such a delightful post, Iris! Little Henry steals the show. It's a pity about the broadcasting house. Also, about your query on cormorants drying: they don’t have fully waterproof feathers like ducks. Their plumage lets in some water, which helps them dive deep and swim efficiently without floating up too quickly. But the trade-off is that their feathers get soaked, so after fishing they spread their wings in the sun or wind to dry.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you Shiju! I learn so much from you! Mother Nature has a solution for almost everything... wow.

RedPat said...

That looks like a fine building, Iris.I hope that it gets reused again.
Love the little one coming out of the shell.

Hello world sure is cute! I love seeing all these fun and funky things. You've made us all smile this morning!

Christine said...

sweet video and thanks for the smiles

Iris Flavia said...

Making others smile sure makes me happy! You gave a smile back, thank you!

Jeanie said...

I always loved the Clydesdale commercials. That Henry is a fierce one!

CJ Kennedy said...

I love the Clydesdale commercials. They always make me teary eyed. Look how cute little Henry is. His nose and mouth form a heart.

Bill said...

Little Henry is acting very tough.

I love the Clydesdales. They are huge horses but so handsome. And that is a handsome building. It may have a scary past but it looks like it should be revamped for something modern and good. and I hope those dinos don't hatch in your apartment. Grin. Have a super rest of your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika

The video you shared from Linda's blog is so good ...
I enjoyed seeing it again.

Blogging friends are just the best aren't they :)

Have a good weekend, and thanks for your lovely comment on the low carb diabetic.

All the best Jan

I remember seeing that Clydesdale commercial during a previous super bowl. It's awesome. That building has a real history.

Dear friend Iris, thank you so much for sharing the Budweiser video and for mentioning me, dear friend, I really appreciate it. I love all your photos!
Henry's baby can indeed roar like the king!!! :)
Warm hugs and much love to you, dear Iris.

Look like it is a sturdy building.

River said...

Henry practising his roar 😁 I love the dinosaur babies. That building looks to me like an old hospital or perhaps a boarding school. Clydesdales are my favourite horses.

Yvonne said...

Love the video and little Henry being all grown up. It's quite sad when a building, once useful, is no longer of use and is left to decay.

Iris Flavia said...

Thanks goes to Linda! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

I didn´t know these ads - German ones are lousiest!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, CJ, yes!!!! I didn´t see the heart - thank you!!!! Awwww 🥰
German ads are plain awful btw...

Iris Flavia said...

He´s a BIG BOY! ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Those ads aren´t on here, so I am thankful Linda pointed me to them, so sweet. Oh, don´t yoz worry, I have some monsters here (Mike and Sullivan) to protect me! To a great Sunday, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Jan, without bloggy friends who knows where I would be. You all helped me when Ingo was so severly sick, when I lost my job.... I break down when someone hugs me for real in a crisis and you all helped from afar!

Iris Flavia said...

ROAR, Tom, ROAR!

Iris Flavia said...

I certainly missed the superbowl as I was working on Monday and we were in the middle of the night, buhuu! But we saw the one 2024 from Madeley/Perth - wasn´t that an awesome one????

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, thank you! For introducing me to those lovely ads! And your wise findings, too! Warm hugs and love is on the way to you!

Iris Flavia said...

Maybe alive soon again?

Iris Flavia said...

We all need to to our training 😘 When young (haha) I once rode a real huge horse. Never again. He was the sweetest but his steps were so huge I had a real hard time. He cuddled up anyways afterwards... His name was Alexander for a reason!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, maybe they can revive the building? Someone must pay taxes for the ground it´s standing on, I think?

Breathtaking said...

Hello Iris :)
The Clydesdale video is really beautiful and so are those magnificent horses. I enjoyed seeing the dinosaur exhibits and fierce little Henry. It does seem a shame that the building is no longer in use. It looks fine from the exterior but must need interior repairs.
All the best Iris

Did I tell you my brother lived in Braunschweig for a year? At least I think it was Braunschweig. Love the dinosaurs.
