Hope all is well! Just thought you might like to know that when booking my ticket for Competing Churches and Chapels, 1829–1939 (A Joint Conference of the Ecclesiological Society and the Chapels Society) here, I noticed your pic used as the header image. Although the grey border cuts it off on this page, there is some text correctly crediting you at the bottom of the full image of the Ecclesiological Society.

Ooh, thank you, Nice one. It's a pity that the Eventbrite link no longer works, but it's good to know, anyway. Over the years I've spotted a few of my pics being used, and there is rarely any acknowledgment. Two of the naughtiest were newspapers - they should have known better, haha. As for the chapel in the picture, it has now lost its graceful rows of spires around the tops of the walls. It was very pretty once. I hope you have managed to get inside. its poppy heads are very fine work. Storye book (talk) 10:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Faerber pic! More roses for you! For related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy today's story, related to my topic of the year: 300 years Bach's chorale cantatas, and the first was written for today, - listen to the music, beginning with a French overture for a chorale fantasy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll have a look. Storye book (talk) 13:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alexander Lang? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC) [1] --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lang done. Pretty picture, this time! Storye book (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I get more and more fascinated with that person! The German WP has two sons and a daughter, and I find only one in references we can use. - Anna and Bernhard Blume? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:29, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Blumes done. Nice pic, I think? We are lucky to get that. Storye book (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thank you so much! - Today's story is about an extraordinary biography, Peter Demetz. - I uploaded a few more pics but leave the link, because there's a new one of Graham and his mother who liked it. Monika Frimmer? (take your time, I just don't want to forget.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frimmer done. I found another nice pic. Storye book (talk) 08:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yess - I remember her on stage --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Always precious[edit]

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Storye book (talk) 08:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
New pics of spectacular weather. I really like the image of Alexander Lang, on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Almost 10k views for Lang yesterday, and all will have seen your pic! Could you perhaps crop Katja Paryla from File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-W0519-0028, Berlin, 80. Geburtstag Wolfgang Heinz.jpg (centre) or find another one? de:Annette Reber, for fairness? The second woman with him has no article, and the third we don't know. - Congrats to the double DYK! - Any thoughts about the Kerck nom? I don't mean approval, just clarification. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
