🐙 Cracked Camera ❗️| Octopus #04 | 20231004 | 1-memo•com | Octopus pulls the around 2 pounds (1 kg) camera equipment into its hole — a Insta360 Go 2 camera on a 120 cm (4 feet) monopod with Bushman counterweight and tripod .. all laying flat on the bottom … I had the camera set to film an 1 minute clip. So the camera finally being pulled entirely inside its hole , covered by the octopus, wasn’t captured on film. I grabbed all back … with force. Later that day more films were made that day with no problem – the camera appeared to be not damaged. The next day, however, the camera was malfunctioning , overheating … clearly broken adter all by that octopus … in the Mediterranean Sea at Corfu, Greece, Sep 2023.
The Old Fortress of Corfu , Greece – here filmed 29 September 2022 – was used at the end of World War II by the Nazis to imprison the Jews of Corfu prior to their deportation from the island (Ref 1). Greek resistance fighter Manolis Glézos (Sep 1922 – Mar 2020) – who tore down the swastika from the Acropolis in May 1941 – was confined in a cellar there (Ref 2, 3). Last month, 28 September 2022, holocaust survivor Mr Simon Gronowski – escapee from the 20th prisoners’ train convoy to Auschwitz (Ref 4) – spoke in the European Parliament at the Centennial celebration of the birth of Manolis Glézos, on the resistance against fascism, nazism, imperialism and the daily fight for democracy (Ref 5, 6, 7) . Mr Simon Gronowski (born 12 oktober 1931 in Brussels) is celebrating today his 91th birthday … congrats … La vie est belle !
