WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Tobi]

@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

[Aetas]

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.

[Giles]

Into town to pick up urgent supplies (beer)

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Thou livith a blessed life.

[Seul]

Affogato

[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!

[J-IV]

Out and about earlier today with @GraemeE

First stop - brekkie at Broder

Obviously a quick dig session at Crossroads

@GraemeE in his natural element and of course an IH hang isn’t complete without a surprise guest. This time it was @Jett129

Big ups to Graeme for the company! Hope to return the hospitality in the future

[GraemeE]
