You can say exactly which day that was 🤓🕰

The Zimmer Tower, originally the Cornelius Tower, was once part of the city's fortifications in the 14th century. In 1928, the astronomer and clockmaker Louis Zimmer gave the city of Lier his clock mechanism "de Jubelklok", which shows various times and astronomical events, to mark the upcoming 100-year anniversary of Belgium's independence.

1. Phases of the Moon:
Displays the current phase of the moon, such as new moon, first quarter, full moon, or last quarter.

2. Metonic Cycle and Epact:
The Metonic Cycle is a 19-year period after which the phases of the moon repeat on the same days of the year. The Epact is the number of days by which the lunar year differs from the solar year.

3. Equation of Time:
Shows the difference between solar time (as shown by a sundial) and clock time, accounting for the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt.

4. Zodiac:
Indicates the current zodiac sign, which is determined by the position of the sun relative to the twelve constellations of the zodiac throughout the year.

5. Solar Cycle and Dominical Letter:
The Solar Cycle is a 28-year cycle used in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The Dominical Letter is a system for determining the day of the week for any given date in a year.

6. Week:
Displays the current day of the week.

7. Globe:
Shows a representation of the Earth, indicating the current position of the sun relative to the Earth.

8. Months:
Indicates the current month of the year.

9. Calendar Days:
Displays the current day of the month.

10. Seasons:
Shows the current season (spring, summer, autumn, winter).

11. Tides:
Indicates the state of the tides, which are influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun.

12. Age of the Moon:
Shows the number of days since the last new moon, indicating the moon's age in its current lunar cycle.

Another astronomical clock, "de Wonderklok", has been located in an annex to the Tower. The clock mechanism contains, among many other displays, the slowest rotating hand in the world.🐌

🌄🚌 This picture was taken in Huertahuayco, during my bus ride from Ica (Atacama Desert) to Cusco (Andes). The election posters were for the regional and local elections in 2018.

When I started using Instagram, I just came back from my best trip ever. I spontaneously traveled alone through Peru for 16 days and took a few thousand photos.😄🇵🇪❤️

👀 Until then, I had only used Instagram passively. I had a little problem because its name means "instant camera telegram" and from my point of view that's how it was primarily used. But that didn't fit my needs well... 🧃🐌

💡This is how I came up with the idea of ​​a timeless Instagram, led by a giant sloth. It's so relaxed, grounded and full of adventure.😜

🕵️ The posts have been spread across the years and - unfortunately - Instagram deactivated the guides in December, but you can still view all Peru posts on my website (link in bio) at any time. Simply click on “Topics” and then “Peru” in the menu.

There might be a few more pictures to come.
Sometime.

It was a very special time. In total I was there every weekend for 55 days. Much too little. I wish it would have been infinite.🌠 I will miss it very much!
Goodbye Bad Bodendorf! 😢❤️

In the Wolfsschlucht. A small waterfall and a cool stream. It was still summer. I actually wanted to post this three months ago because it belongs to the other posts. But my grandma died and other things. And because my girlfriend broke up with me today, I thought it would be a good time to complete it and remember this beautiful day again. Which was one of the most beautiful for me.

🌞🌿 High hops and blue sky.

Into the woods 🌳✨

We had a wonderful hike in the Brohltal in the Eifel. 🥰

One of the many beautiful sights are the trass caves.

🌋 Trass, a volcanic tuff, was already mined there by the Romans. These are the deposits of a volcanic eruption that created Lake Laach around 13,000 years ago.

🏗️🏛️ Tuff is a soft rock that is primarily used as a building material on the outside of buildings or is mixed with cement.

When it's unbearably hot, the best thing to do is go into the forest and cool off by the stream. 💦🥰🌲🌳 And it's even better if you can watch fallow deer (Dama dama) playing.😊

I'm taking the train to my girlfriend. 😎💕

About half of my four-hour journey is between Mainz and Remagen along the Middle Rhine.

🏞️🍇🏰

Misty vineyards, castles and small islands. 🥰

I particularly like the Bacharacher Werth (island) with its surrounding shallows. The train also passes the legendary Loreley, but I am already enchanted and stay on track.
