a typical house of Kitsbuehl - city which hosted the Olympic Games - in Austria. It snows a lot in winter.
I love Austria, the towns are so clean... (the image is so so)

Did you process them with some software? Sorry but they look horribly overprocessed, like some instagram selfies. :p

They appeared to have been smoothened over and softened, as well.
These types of aberrations (my understanding) is supposed to be related to extracting a still image from video footage.
The "AI" part of 4K video recording supposed to make use of certain frame-to-frame manipulation of the frames (kinda like defocusing edges [?]) so as to not make the viewer heave for 'jerky motion' frame-to-frame. Which works just the opposite for still photography where the image edges need to be as sharp/focused as can be (before desired manual adjustments, as desired). Some PanasonicLumix mirrorless DSLRs use a video engine and thus have to compensate for its real intended purpose...

I use the apple "Photos" software.
Yes they are bad.... I use a MacBook Air.... these pictures had been in the cloud for several years , and they came back in bad conditions in Apple "Photos", why ? I don't know.
The dates no longer matched the photos !
I've spent 6 days around Kitsbuehl and the sky was between white and barely blue.

It sure would not be fun if I told you what they were?

My guess: keys of a musical instrument. In this arrangement perhaps an accordion. Or a bulk order of trumpet keys? Still missing some inlays, paint or mother of pearl.

I bought these RCA caps from aliexpress. I haven't gotten a chance to use them yet, but I have too many unconnected RCA ports, that become dust magnets. I've used those small plastic CapPlugs previously, but some have a tendency to get sticky (especially, to the female-RCA bulkheads).
I bought these at a (very) special sale of 10cents each but I notice they are selling for around 70cent/each, now.

Some of the fancier items at my neighborhood thrift store prior to year-end auction. Not sure what's up with the horizontal bands running through the photo, I've never seen that before.

Comically large serving of seafood jajangmyeon sold as one-person portion at a Colorado eatery seems to be the size of a family-sized dish in Korea. Maybe I should have taken most of it home and made a few meals out of it, but how much of the just-cooked magic would I lose?

I'd just buy the cheapest RCA connectors available (0.15 € at my favorite source) and plug them (as is) into unused inputs and outputs.

Nothing-special photo of something which has become a pandemic-era lifestyle accessory: Winnebago Revel, almost always built upon a Mercedes Sprinter chassis, but sometimes Dodge Ram as well. Most are painted gray as shown. I think prices start at around 100K USD, and the Winnebago people must be selling an awful lot of them.

Do they all have broken running boards, or is that a feature* of some sort?

I've actually never seen one of those in northern New England (i.e., 'twixt here and Boston), FWIW.

* Perhaps in the Microsoft sense of the word feature.

In the mornings, the van's windows are all fogged from the inside
These sure beat the tent-people, elsewhere but nearby. << Is that too nimby to say?:oops:
