Hi everybody. I just moved to Hamburg. I'm still not finished with the new flat. That's the reason of my rare visits in the forum. Saturday I visited the harbour for the Cruise Days Blue Port 2014. Very crowded and on my way back police closed the subway station at the port. I had to walk a while to another.
A few impressions:
Better pictures and movie in NDR Mediathek (when to much talking scroll forward):

And there are a lot of videos on YT.

the day of Autumnal Equinox
(or Fall Equinox or September Equinox)
from today onwards the nights in the Northern hemisphere will be increasingly longer than the days and so we have 'officially' moved to autumn. it will take 6 months before days will become longer than nights again, starting on the Spring or Vernal equinox day. the name ‘equinox’ comes from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night) so the word as whole has the meaning 'equal night'. in principle the day and night are thus equally long on equinox days.
in practice the day is a few minutes longer than the night on equinox days. this is because the length of day is measured from the instant when the Sun's upper rim appears and disappears on the horizon. this depends on the location where one observes the Sun. the equinox is determined to take place when the centrepoint of the Sun's disk crosses the celestial equator. this moment of time is universal, it does not depend on observers' locations. - the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky exactly above and around the equator of the Earth.
at the moment of the equinox the Earth's north-south axis, the axis of Earth's rotation, is at right angles with the plane determined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
as a result the Earth's hemispheres receive equal amounts of light from the Sun at the moment of equinox (but it is night in half of the world then!). at all other times the Earth's axis is somewhat tilted with respect of the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
i found a gif showing the Earth-Sun situations on the equinox days and on winter and summer Solstices. -the gif is a bit too quick to my taste but you can stop it by pressing esc.

it is usually said that the equinoxes are on certain days though actually, by the definition, the equinoxes take place a some precise moments of time on our voyage around the Sun. usually the date is Sep 22nd or 23rd for the autumnal and March 22nd or 23rd for the spring equinox.
the autumnal equinox took place today at 2:29 UTC.
in Estonia and in Finland the exact time of the equinox was at 5:29. this resulted by adding 2 hours for our EET-time zone and 1 hour for the summer light-saving time. - UTC is short for Coordinated Universal Time. this is practically the same as GMT = Greenwich Mean Time = the so-called 'London time'. for example for Alice in Oregon the equinox took place on Monday evening on September 22nd. Oregon's time zone is -7 hours from UTC so the exact time of the equinox for Alice was 7:29 pm (19:29).

I have a TV suggestion for all people who can somehow see German "1st program" ARD
Next Sunday, Oct. 19 and Sunday after, Oct. 26, each time at 4:30 PM, a really good documentary about the Baltic is shown.
The second part was also shown recently at the 12th Matsalu Nature Film Festival - http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/21141 - you have to scroll down a bit - and has received a special prize by the Estonian Ministry of the Environment - http://www.matsalufilm.ee/festival/index_eng.html

WILD BALTICS. EPISODE 2 – ENCHANTED FORESTS AND MOORS
In the North-East of Europe lie three countries, almost undiscovered and unregarded: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In the second part of his nature documentary, Christoph Hauschild portrays the diversity of nature in the hinterland of the Baltic Sea: brown bears, lynxes and capercaillies in the vast woodlands of Estonia, Europe's widest waterfall or the mating dance of the great snipe on the Latvian/Lithuanian border.

It seems that since yesterday the notifications for replies in topics and PM are currently not working. I have informed the webmaster about the problem and hope he will be able to find a solution as soon as it is possible.
