This photo was taken from our back garden at 200mm. The webcam from the earlier post is on the large grey tower (former military listening post into the East), the small tower in the webcam pic can just be seen to the left of the big tower in the large photo (where the trees in the foreground come up to the slope of the hill). 10, 15 years ago, you wouldn't have been able to see the small tower because of the dense trees. Now many trees are dead like elsewhere in central Europe. Acidic rain and bark-beetles being the main causes.

Lovely view. Germany seems to have a lot of green/forest. Beautiful.

Well, we didn't go round and cut down all our forests for our shipping industry (having only a bit of coast in the North rather than all the way around) and failed to make sure it grew back... :oP

In addition, this is a rather rural, relatively sparsely settled area so there's loads of scenery and it's rolling hills rather than dead flat like East Anglia. My hometown is at an altitude of 550odd metres.
