Footage covers the landmark tree in the south of Kaohsiung city 高雄林園區「市境之南樹」, Linyuan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The reportedly southernmost hibiscus tree in Kaohsiung is located at No. 32, Dongshan Road, just in the southernmost tip of Kaohsiung. This hibiscus tree has been crippled by several typhoons, and it still strives to bloom with green leaves and yellow blossoms.

Footage shows an empty urban street during the air raid drill with sirens blaring. The annual Wanan air defense exercise has been held in different areas across Taiwan between July 25-28, with civilians required to shelter in place during the drills. Air raid sirens got off at 13:30 to signal the start of the 30-minute drills. The drill this year is aimed at raising public awareness of emergency warnings to reduce the possibility of casualties and damage if air attacks do take place. Most vehicular road traffic and pedestrian movement are suspended, as it is usually done during Taiwan's air raid drills, while some people have received a text message on their phone notifying them about an air attack drill. Metro services, freeway traffic, and aircraft flights do operate normally, but disembarked passengers had to follow instructions from evacuation personnel. #AirRaid #drill #Taiwan #emergency #defense #awareness #readiness Further reading: https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202207120009

Footage of a single remaining building at an urban development area near the main train station at No. 278, Jianguo 2nd Rd. 建國二路278號, Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Wikipedia: "Nail house 釘子戶 is a calque of a Chinese neologism "dīngzihù" (literally, "nail household or householder") that refers to either a person who refuses to vacate their home to make way for development, or the home itself. The Chinese term, coined by developers, comes from the fact that these houses stick out like a nail that can be neither extracted nor hammered down." #NailHouse #Kaohsiung #UrbanDevelopment #釘子戶 #architecture #scenery #aerial #downtown #SanminDistrict #KaohsiungCity #Taiwan #Asia Location: [22.63776000, 120.30444800] Music: Venice Beach by Topher Mohr and Alex Elena YouTube Audio Library Downtown by Benjamin Tissot Royalty Free Music https://www.bensound.com/

There is currently no public piano available at Kaohsiung Main Station 高雄車站, Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The TRA station is connected to the KRTC MRT Red Line station. The concourses on several levels provide plenty of open space. Other international cities (e. g. London, UK) have made available public pianos at public spaces. At Kaohsiung National Center for the Arts - Weiwuying a public piano is available. Such a piano gives musicians the opportunity to share their skills with a random audience. And it can be a stage for content creators to interact with their followers. The passers by (travelers) may enjoy a short stop at a free concert. I believe there are many young people in Taiwan who took piano lessons and feel confident to promote the art of music. Of course, a public piano would match very well the beautiful new station building (under construction).

Tonaufzeichnung der Abschiedsfeier für Pfarrer Adam Höfle in Zwingenberg (Bergstraße), Deutschland am 22. August 1965. Ort: Gemeindehaus der evangelischen Kirchengemeinde in Zwingenberg Redner: Kirchenvorsteher Karl Rehm, Pfarrer Dr. Jakob (Bensheim), Pfarrer Bohschke (katholische Kirchengemeinde), Bürgermeister Zubrod, Rektor Schwarz (Melibokusschule), Stadtverordneter Karl Simon, Kirchenvorsteher Willi Kissel, Pfarrer Adam Höfle (*12.07.1900 ✝02.07.1999) "Am Sonntag, dem 22. August, hatten sich abends im Gemeindehaus Vertreter der Gemeinde und des öffentlichen Lebens zusammengefunden, um in einer schlichten Abschiedsfeier das Wirken von Pfarrer Höfle zu würdigen und ihm den Dank auszusprechen. Kirchenvorsteher Karl Rehm begrüßte zu Beginn die Gäste: Pfr. Dr. Jakob, Bensheim, als Vertreter von Dekan Ullmann; Pfr. Bohschke von der katholischen Kirchengemeinde Zwingenberg; Bürgermeister H. Zubrod; Rektor Schwarz von der Melibokusschule; die Damen und Herren des Lehrerkollegiums; die Mitglieder des Magistrats und der Stadtverordnetenversammlung. Er dankte dem scheidenden Pfarrer sehr herzlich für seine segensreiche Arbeit in Zwingenberg und rühmte die gute Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kirchenvorstand. Pfr. Dr. Jakob aus Bensheim überbrachte die Grüße von Dekan Ullmann, der sich in dieser Zeit im Urlaub befand. Er beleuchtete die einzelnen Stationen des Lebensweges von Pfr. Höfle, angefangen bei seiner Kindheit, die er seinem Geburtsort Mittershausen verlebte, bis hin zu seinem Wirken im heimatlichen Kreis und Dekanat. Seit dem Jahre 1938, also 27 Jahre, war er als Pfarrer in Zwingenberg tätig, nachdem er vorher in Worms, Neu Isenburg und Rothenberg gewirkt hatte. Pfr. Dr. Jakob dankte Pfr. Höfle auch für seine mannigfachen Vertretungsdienste, vor allem in der Zeit des 2. Weltkrieges, wo er für längere Zeit die Gemeinde Auerbach seelsorgerlich zu betreuen hatte. Der Pfarre der katholischen Kirchengemeinde, Bohschke, sprach von der guten Zusammenarbeit mit Pfr. Höfle. Daher nehme die gesamte katholische Kirchengemeinde Anteil an seinem Abschied. Bürgermeister H. Zubrod sagte in seinen Abschiedsworten, der Weggang von Pfr. Höfle bewege Zwingenberg sehr stark, nachdem er über 27 Jahre in dieser Stadt gewirkt habe. Er hob auch die Tätigkeit von Frau Pfarrer Höfle bevor, die ihren Mann in seiner pfarramtlichen Tätigkeit gut unterstützte und sogar für die Gemeindeschwester einsprang, wenn diese im Urlaub oder krank war. Rektor Schwarz dankte im Namen der Melibokusschule Pfr. Höfle für seine treue und gute Mitarbeit in der Schule. Nicht mit Strenge und Zucht, sondern mit Güte und Verständnis habe Pfr. Höfle die Kinder unterrichtet. Er sprach die Hoffnung aus, Pfr. Höfle möge auch weiterhin mit der Schule verbunden bleiben. Worte treuer Verbundenheit sprachen zum Schluss Stadtverordneter Karl Simon und Kirchenvorsteher Willi Kissel, der auch zum Ausdruck brachte, dass Pfr. Höfle immer in sehr freundschaftlicher Weise mit der Landeskirchlichen Gemeinschaft zusammengearbeitet habe. Durch sein fruchtbringendes Wirken habe er sich in der Zwingenberger Kirchengemeinde ein bleibendes Denkmal gesetzt. Pfarrer Höfle sprach bewegte Worte des Dankes. Er zeigte noch einige Farblichtbilder von Zwingenberg und von der Arbeit seines Sohnes Walter, der als Pfarrer in Brasilien tätig ist." #Verabschiedung #AdamHöfle #Zwingenberg #Pfarrer #Kirche #evangelisch #Bergkirche #Bergstraße #Hessen #Deutschland #Gemeinde #EKHN

Ein Lichtbildervortrag von Pfarrer in Ruhe Adam Höfle über 'Zwingenberg in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart' aus dem Jahr 1974, hier der Text zum Mitlesen Hintergrund: Dieses Video entstand aus Material meines Grossvaters Adam Höfle (1900 ~ 1999). Er hat im Jahr 1974 einen Lichtbildervortrag über Zwingenberg a. d. B. zusammengestellt und mancherorts gehalten. Dazu wurde damals eine Diaserie erstellt, ein Skript verfasst und schließlich die Erzählung mit einem analogen Tonbandgerät aufgezeichnet. Dieses Material wurde 2021 zu einem Dokument der Zeitgeschichte in Form dieses Videos verarbeitet. Adam Höfle war von 1938 bis 1965 evangelischer Pfarrer in Zwingenberg und lebte in dieser Zeit mit seiner Familie im Pfarrhaus im Pass. Durch Studium von historischen Kirchendokumenten, aus Gesprächen mit alten Zwingenbergern und aus eigener Anschauung hatte er reiche Kenntnis über die Geschichte der Stadt von der Vergangenheit bis zur Gegenwart (1974). Bedingt durch die einfache Aufnahmetechnik und die lange Lagerung des Tonbands, ist die Tonqualität streckenweise leider schlecht.

He has created a slide show about the town of Zwingenberg a. d. B. in Germany in the year 1974. He presented this slide show at various locations at events of the parish and the like. At that time, a series of slides were selected and a script written. The narration by Adam Höfle was then recorded with an analogue tape reorder. This material (images and sound) was processed into a video document of contemporary history in 2021. Adam Höfle had been protestant pastor in Zwingenberg from 1938 till 1965. He lived with his family in the vicarage at Pass street during that period. He had a rich knowledge about the town's history spanning from the very past to the present age (1974). This knowledge was based on the study of historic church records, on talks with senior citizens and on his own experience. Unfortunately, the sound quality of the video is rather poor in parts due to the simple recording equipment and the long storage time of the recording tape.

Footage covers a section of the northern part of phase II of the LRT line that is currently in parts under construction at Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The construction area adjacent to the median of sections of Dashun 2nd Rd east of Minzu Rd had been fenced off for several months. Clearly visible is the avenue like appearance of Dashun 2nd Rd with plenty of trees (samanea saman aka rain tree) densely shading the road. Views along the alignment include C27 Dingshan Street 鼎山街, C28 Kaohsiung Industrial High School 高雄高工, and C29 Shu-Te Home Economics & Commercial High School 樹德家商 stations. Site facilities had been mobilized for several hundred meters of construction site including high metal fencing, traffic rerouting, tree guards, and other temporary works. Some excavation works and foundation concreting works were performed over the past months. Recently, those underground structures have been covered and back filled. The asphalt pavement was re-installed, fences were removed and the original traffic lanes were restored. All the site facilities and temporary works will have to be installed again when track work will restart in future . Pavement and soil cover need to be removed before resumption of works on the tracks. This appears to be a rather costly approach. During the non-flood season from November 2022 to May 2023, the track laying project of Dashun 2nd Road Light Rail will reportedly begin. Background: At Kaohsiung light rail project's Dashun 2nd Road section the available space for the tracks is rather tight. Public complaints were provoked by the chosen track alignment in the planning phase of the project. Still, stage two of the project got into full swing and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. Many parking lots along Dashun 2nd Road have been cancelled due to the light rail project. In addition, the road width has been reduced due to the fenced construction site. Businesses face difficulties to unload goods. Lay-bys for temporary stops for loading and unloading passengers and goods have been marked along the road. New nearby parking facilities for cars and scooters will compensate for the loss of roadside parking. Dashun 2nd Road was facing traffic jams already before light rail construction started. The situation may have worsened since. Some commuter traffic detours through small alleys during peak times causing disturbance to the residents there. High-rise apartment buildings are under construction at many locations in the city. Consequently, more people will live there and need of course means of transport (public and private).
