Ghost Ducklings In The Ditch

Well after sunset, ghost ducklings were out swimming in the ditch.

Sunset looked like the Tegelen vlag 1955. Tegelen is a municipality in the Netherlands. Herman might know something about Tegelen and its flags.

    • Thanks, Becky. I’m surprised I got anything since it was so dark, and I could barely see them.

  1. Brilliant. Lovely colours on the ghost pics. Now I can’t get Ghost Riders in the Sky out of head……. well the tune of it to the words of the ghost ducks.

  2. Stunning sunsets you share with us, Tim. A complete joy. Fun to see the ghost ducklings, too. That’s a big brood and their stealth is creatively captured here.

  3. You captured some very, very beautiful images, Tim! The Painter is working overtime these days, especially that first scene with the rainbow.

    Love those ducklings! Hope there are no snapping turtles in that ditch.

    86 up here yesterday, 68 today at best. That’s what I call a reversal…. 🙂

    • We do have snapping turtles. 99 yesterday, and a forecast of 91 today. Thanks, Lavinia.

  4. Wow, and more wow – all I think of is the Fixx – Red Skies at Night … admittedly, not those most lyrically genius song out there ha.

  5. Hi Tim. First of all, sorry for missing your question in this post. It seems that I missed it while scrolling or maybe when I was reading on a small screen.

    I was a bit surprised you saw the similarity with the Tegelen vlag 1955. Dis you spend some time in the Netherlands? It’s typical for provinces and municipalities in Belgium and the Netherlands to have a flag, coat of arms or logo. Sometimes it goes back to the medieval times. Tevelen also have one with a black ‘Lion from Gulikse’ in the yellow and red colours. Feel free to check the flag from my hometown, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlag_van_Geel

    • Thanks, Herman. I have not been to the Netherlands, but the image looked like a flag. So I looked up flags and found the 1955 flag from Tegelen. I read that going back to Roman times, the clay found in Tegelen was used to make roof tiles.

      • I’m always fascinated by stories like this one. I love travelling back in time to see what was happening in the place where you live. It often amazes me to see how smart and resourceful people were in the past.
