Can you date this photo?
Found this interesting photo on LiveJournal — looks like late 19th century from the lack of buildings around the temple — any guesses? And, what kind of factory is that in the foreground?

Do You Recognize?
Joe Poras writes:I have attached a picture of my grandfather taken just about one hundred years ago. From the beautiful fountain in the background which is located in some park, would you know if this was taken in Czernowitz or Vienna and where?
Do you recognize the place this photo was taken?

Kimpeturn
Ever heard the Yiddish expression Kimpeturn ? Something like German Woechnerin. It has to do with child birth and lying in bed before ,during or afterthe process.
This was a many weeks process in old times.(The girls of the group can elaborate). As this involved certain inconveniences the classic quote relates :” Wie a Kimpeturn afn Nachtgeschirr “.Nachtgeshirr was a chamber pot.
As this involved some acrobatics the quote referred to clumsinessin general.” Er dreit sich arim wie …( see quote).”
(He behaves like …( see above).)
