Before we were sexually herrassed by flying ants in the end, we picked the first blackberries of the season on today’s hike. Very yummy, let me tell you!
It’s super dry everywhere, just have a look at the dried out grass in the first two photos. Two nights ago we had the first and biggest forest fire about eight kilometers away. The newspaper article claims that 7,000 m² (sic!) of forest were on fire. In the morning of that day the district fire chief introduced the new alarm plan for forest fires. Eight fire brigades responded with 83 fire fighters in 17 vehicles. Eight trucks shuttled 30,000 liters of water to the scene. Luckily, four and a half hours later they had it under control. A fire fighting drone specialists department of a neighboring fire service located several pockets of embers. I wasn’t even aware, that we have such specialists here in the county, pretty cool. Unfortunately, one fire man probably broke his Achilles tendon in this fire run, the article says.
Other than that, there had been four other wildland fires with a hedge, bunch of trees, a 20,000 m² big stubble fields and another vegetation fire since June in our county. I actually didn’t know that. Well, that’s all nothing compared to the fires they have in East Germany at the moment.
Went on a hike this evening and brought my camera along. The 26°C felt much nicer than yesterday’s 33°C. I perfectly met a mate who also wanted to go for a quick walk, just like we planned it. The first half hour we went together and then I parted for the longer route to the local mountain. The sunset was absolutely brilliant, but the aftermath turned out to be very boring.
Photo 9 shows the entrance to a wasp nest next to the bench in the previous take. The greenery blocks most the view, though. Several individuals took off and returned. But it wasn’t too crowded. Nothing like at a typical honey bee hive at this point in time
What I found quite strange, there was quite a lot of smell of dead meat and butyric acid in the air. Hello hot summer. Both in the forest as well as in the village. I think I noticed those nasty odors at six or seven different places. Never experienced that before. Not to thaaat extent.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that is a cute kitten!

@prologic@twtxt.net Just found this comparison, even with a slider. Bloody awesome! Holy moly, what a difference.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is just cool how you recalibrated! I also doubt that fiddling around with the remaining left to right tilt is worth the effort at the end. Looking forward to see the project completed. You could use the shutter photo on the opening scene. Maybe take a few more in different positions to simulate an opening theater curtain. ;-)
My mate and I spontaneously decided to go for a longer tour today in 29°C heat. We ended up hiking 23 km in 4:30 hours. I had two liters of mineral water in my backpack and we bought a bottle of cherry limonade each on the way in. In the end we opted for pear limo at the same self-service fridge. What a great invention these small vending machines and self-service huts are! In Germany shops are closed on Sundays, so we would have needed to find an open restaurant (plenty didn’t survive Corona) with some detours.
It was my first time on that particular terrain. We went through some beautiful and quaint forest paths with scenic views. I forgot to put my SD card back into my camera, so no photos until my mate will send me his.
Now my feet a cooling off in a bucket of cold water. Superb.

Think of it like buying a signed print of a photo, instead of the photo itself, but the “signature” is an entry in a database and that’s all you get. Still dumb.
