@Tago-Mago
I can totally understand you with Mannheim and Red Bull, but how can you have a dislike for Berlin

[Daniel San]

today we went on the highest mountain of lower saxony the Wurmberg . Even having a fear of heights, the girls wanted to go with the cable railway . but it wasn’t that bad as expected and the weather was awesome
here some impressions:

@Daniel-San not to distract from sunshine and beautiful kids the extent of the forest damage in the background is a bit scary!

[Daniel San]

@Tobi
it’s unbelievable how destroyed the forest is. Almost nothing left , the bark beetle 🪲 killed them all .
that’s a view to the Brocken

The bark beatle was there nearly a decade ago.
Reforestation projects stuck in bureaucracy and with the lack of planters who won’t work on piece-rate basis.
Guess it will need more than a generation, until we see a closed forest in our region again.

Into town to pick up urgent supplies (beer)

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Looks lovely! Where are you that the vegetation is already so freshly green?

[Giles]

I'm assuming you are talking to @Seul

[Seul]

Italy. View from my chair

[Bridger]

That's tough @Seul, sorry you have to look at that.

[Daniel San]

today we took a ride with a historic steam locomotive up the highest mountain in northern Germany the "Brocken"
what an adventure for the kids

Daddy finally got his long awaited sausage

[RobeOfTheMagi]

So cool. I might also be there next week !

Unfortunately the mean old bark beetle has devastated the place a lot.

This is a Kookaburra. They're a relative of the Kingfisher that's native to Australia, and they're about the size of a crow.

They're hunters, and I saw one today that had caught a small snake. That's the large worm in its beak. It's not a great photo, as I snapped it with my phone on maximum zoom.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

That is one cool bird!
