Peter and Oleg are with Mummy Marian on holiday in the Teutoburgerwald.
While Marian took a break from hiking, Peter and Oleg borrowed one of her hiking boots and went to see the ruin from above.
OLEG:
It's a good idea Peter to borrow one of Mummy Marian's hiking boots and hang it on a balloon. That way we can get a good look at the ruin and have a great view.
PETER:
I always have good ideas Oleg, you know that.
Look how high we're going!!!!
OLEG:
A wonderful view Peter . When you look down everything looks so small.
I wonder how we land safely again.
PETER:
No problem!
I have a safety pin with me. Poke a small hole in the balloon for a soft landing and poke a big hole for a hard landing.
OLEG: (looking very pale)
Just give me a soft landing Peter
Smile on Saturday: Going up
This image has been produced many times by photographers over the years. The view is of Loch Tummel looking west from the viewing platform called “Queen’s View”. The body of water is often called Loch Scotland because the outline of the water looks like the shape of the country. You can’t see it as well as you used to because the trees to image right have grown considerably in recent years and chops off the east coast.
You can’t really do too much to change the viewpoint with this shot so all you can do is try to get the best possible conditions. Alas, as is so often the case I didn’t plan this particularly well and missed the best of the light. I had been in the north west of Scotland earlier in the day and thought I could chance a sunset on route south. It didn’t quite work out as bright or as nice as I would have liked but there is a lot of drama going on in that sky.
The stunning view from the top of Reinebringen mountain - the best view in the Lofoten Islands, I’m told, and I can believe it.
Just past Ober Saum we got this lovely view into Muotathal. Unfortunately, the day was no longer very clear, but still, it was worth a picture!

Second highest mountain in the bavarian forest (1453m).
Seas of white clouds touch the forest slopes.
Suggest flowing primeval seas.
Isolated mountain islands protrude.
Lapped by wet element.
From the Mount of Pouilly, we discover a stunning view on the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's ROck) and the small village of Solutré at its foot. In the late afternoon, while the sun was soon to set, the scenery was especially gorgeous.

Une vue incroyable
Du Mont de Pouilly, on a une vue impressionnante sur la Roche de Solutré et le petit village de Solutré à son pied. En cette fin d'après-midi, alors que le soleil n'allait pas tarder à se coucher, le spectacle était particulièrement beau.

The Chateau Lake Louise Lakeview Bar stands out as a rather nice place to have a cup of coffee, cocktail, beer or other favorite drink. Wonderful place to hang out after enjoying the many hikes that are around this beloved lake.
Hope you're all doing well during this challenging time. We're doing good here. Be well.
