Good morning #Passau - looking pretty in early morning light

Happy Easter to all celebrating

I went out #running, wanting to do some threshold 1km interval training, but due to today's ceaseless strong winds, I had to cut it short, and after four or so intervals, I switched to just a "regular" run, in slightly sub-threshold constant tempo.

Still, I enjoyed the nice weather by the #Danube river, so not a total loss. :)

BUDAPEST, Hungary — "Thousands of protesters rallied for the fourth week in Hungary’s capital on Tuesday, denouncing a new law passed by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s nationalist government banning LGBTQ Pride events.

"The legislation, fast-tracked through parliament in March, prohibits events depicting #homosexuality to those under the age of 18 and has drawn comparisons to Russia’s anti-LGBTQ policies. It comes as Orbán’s administration is increasingly accused of democratic backsliding ahead of national elections next year.

"The weekly protests in #Budapest have persisted, and on Tuesday, demonstrators filled the #ErzsébetBridge over the #Danube, demanding the withdrawal of the law. Some planned to remain on the bridge throughout the night and said there were plans to shut down all five central Danube bridges.

No violence was immediately reported.

"The law makes it an offense to hold or attend events such as Pride, which some legal experts and human rights groups say is #Orbán’s latest crackdown on Hungary’s #LGBTQ community and an arbitrary restriction on the #RightToAssembly."

Danube fan (Paleogeography )

The Danube fan is a relict sedimentary feature in the northwestern part of the bottom of the Black Sea. It crosses three of its four major physiographic provinces: basin slope, basin apron, and the Euxine abyssal plain) and splits the abyssal plain into two inequal parts. The fan was deposited by the Danube, Dniester, Southern Bug, and Dnieper rivers. It extends...

The original ask for the hashtag #MarshMadness was to present estuarial animals. If there are any animals in my picture they are well hidden. Also, I'm not sure that this is a marsh. It's a photo taken on the #Danube Delta in #Romania, near the border with Ukraine. I'm basically blatantly admitting that I'm trying to hijack the hashtag to meet my immature need for attention.
