Some might see a certain beauty here.
Objectively it's (roughly from left to right): a chemical plant, an old spoil tip with wind turbines on top, a coal power plant and the infrastructure for it all.
Gelsenkirchen/Marl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Good old NRW. NRW used to procude more than 20% of German GDP. Is it still the case?

Is it still the case?

Yes, although in terms of GDP per capita they are slightly below average (21.6% of the German population, 20.5% of the GDP).

Hamburg has the highest GDP per capita - although there certainly are two sides to every medal:

Both photos of the same city, taken within the same year and only a few kilometers apart.

BONIFACIO is a French town located in "Corsica" island, 715km offshore south east of France. I've been there and love it...

Mnemonics devices:
I started with ROY G. BIV and had not realized how deep that rabbit-hole goes down.

Uh Huh!
OT: Since I always had problems remembering the order of the planets, I had made my own.
"Machine or Vehicle Enabling Man to Jump Stars Using No Power" but then, they decommissioned the Pooch.
Turns out that there are more mnemonic devices for the order of the planets than there are for the resistor color-code.

Smoke on the water? Walking the dog this morning.

Wet snow and temps near freezing overnight, so it looked like the freaking Alps or something for a while today at our house.

Was watching Cormorants high up the trees near Lake Erie, when a sudden commotion broke out.

I'd recognize that bandito mask anywhere!
Peregrine!
Magnificent image.

(EDIT: Full disclosure: I typed Kestrel first... then, as soon as I went to show the photo to Mrs. H, I thought nooooo... you dope! Peregrine! )

Your great photo-op reminded me of one these:

Plastic potato from Aliexpress...

You forgot to provide price and a link to the product. I think the purpose of those potatoes is for stuffing them in speaker port-holes.

I came across these at aliexpress that are made for/as door or bump stops.
They are soft, sticky and kind of squishy but at the price of $2/x6, I ordered 2 sets.
Stuck a set under the Intel NUC htpc, and the DVR inside the entertainment center to help [hopefully] reduce fan vibrations from each.
Cheap present to myself for placebo effect, even they are questionable solution.

Just saw this in the activity feed @ Flickr. Some nice old(er) Kenwood electronics.
No comment on the loudspeakers

I'm putting a digital camera module in one potato, and a small Class D amplifier in the other potato.

Hello,
Thanks, I was using RF100-500mm lens at 500mm with a 1.4X extender and a 1.6X crop factor camera. I very much believe the Cormorant got away.
