Wow, so sorry to read this. We have got to do a better job with our wild areas. I know we here in the US are seeing some massive forest changes too. I personally think global warming is catching up with us. We are seeing so many environmental changes this past decade. Heck, I can't even remember a winter that was that cold in the past few years.

Yes, it was quite depressing to drive through the dead forest. But there's hope for a good recovery with some deciduous trees added to it. I didn't stop on my way because I didn't want the ride to take longer than it already was plus there were cars right behind me.
I can only hope that the government does something to maintain our forests. Private companies or people are not allowed to plant new trees here in Germany.

Wow, I didn't know what about planting new trees. I sure hope they work on that. Geesh.

Re: Germany - Hiking in the "Swiss Alps of Saxony" with the biggest Garden Train

Elbsandsteingebirge "Sächsische Schweiz", Sachsen

Back in May I went hiking for the fourth time since I live here in Saxony. It was a beautiful day and long before the bush fires. Firefighters from Germany, the Czech Republic and even Italy worked together to fight the flames, which took a good amount of trees, which you see here in these pictures.
I haven't been there since, but I think it's better to keep these in memory.
Experts say, the area will recover quickly. I can only hope that they find the guys who smoked their hookah there and started the fire with its coal.

















In Rathen you can walk through the biggest G scale (1/24) Model Train in the world!

It's definitely one of the most beautiful sights of Saxony.

Did you know that many historic building are built with this sandstone? The black spots don't come from phosphorus bombs in WW II as many people think. The true reason is the molybdenum in the stones which turns black when it oxidizes.



On the parking lot there was an expensive lot of cars there. You can take a look at them on our car thread.

Beautiful place. Too bad it burnt up. Glad to hear they expect it to recover quickly. I don't think I would go back until it has some time to heal either.

Tamer: Thanks Shawn! Yes, the weather is awesome at the moment. Wasn't too hot and busy yesterday so I took my 89-year-old grandfather for a ride.

Thanks, Shawn! You're welcome to visit me with your family, too! Summer is my favorite time of the year, maybe because I was born in August.

I wanted to post this in our humor thread but couldn't find it. The weather was pretty rainy last night.
Last summer I wrote "Summer with no sun" in August - well, it feels it's gonna be the same this year.

So AC/DC was here in Dresden on Sunday and yesterday. And since I spent all my money on toys, I didn't have the 155€ for a ticket. But I still had a pretty good view 700 yards away and the sound was perfect from that distance.
Many people already left the open-air concert after an hour because it just didn't stop raining.
I was soaking wet, but stood under a tree and was a happy camper. A free concert of those legends is something else. It was a good night.
My favorite part was when they played Hells Bells.

AC/DC, 19.06.2024, Live in Dresden
