This is what I walked past yesterday. My spirits were lifted immensely. Sharing with you guys. There will be light for us again after the nightmare is over.

1. A wonderful picture and sentiment to wake up to, dear Mira.

Thank you for a wonderful start to my day.

2. Where is that?

Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen, Meck-Pom?

3. It is in Nord-Rhein Westfalen

In the Teutoburger Forest. I went there from Karlsruhe by train - 5 wonderful hours of rolling carelessly through the landscape - to see/climb the Externsteine.
Will be showing some photos of them when I have recovered. Hiking 15 km through deep woods up and down in very hilly land has done me in.

4. That is right near me.

I live in Nordrhein-Westfalen, near Düsseldorf. Der Teutoburger Wald is about 90 minutes from here by car.

You must not be far from Osnabrück, right?

5. There's Got to Be a Morning After...

That's the song that comes to mind when I reflect on the fine sentiments expressed in this posting. Unfortunately, the nightmare that we have been living through as a nation for the past few years was brought on, in very large measure, I feel, by the excessive complacency of American voters, who took their democracy too much for granted. I suppose we had to go through the experience of almost losing our democracy in order to experience a rebirth of appreciation for it.

8. I've lived in Florida too long...

First thing I did when I saw this wonderful pic was scan the shoreline for alligators...

13. Spectacular photo.

And it sounds like you had a grand train ride too.

Be sure to rest up from your hike! You'll need all of your strength for traveling home.
