Jarek, Lake Szarcz is indeed a treasure. Thanks for sharing your fabulous images. I'm sure that the children. old and young the slides. I hope that you stop back again.
Very unusual capture with the slide in the lake and love its reflection! Many thanks for these views - full of atmosphere - with SEASONS - much appreciated! Looking forward to see yours for the coming week too! Have a beautiful rest of this week:)
Fascinating set of images. The color in the top one is 'knock-your-socks-off'. The two slides do not seem to be conveniently located for little ones...odd...was there flooding here or is that just the way it is supposed to be?

During travelling through the scenic Teutoburg Forest in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalianear, you can find the picturesque group of rocks a few kilometres from the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg. Its name - Extersteine - usually translates as stones of the ridge. This is a highly unusual rock formation. In an area otherwise devoid of large rocks, the soaring, slender columns of Externsteine stand out as they rise sharply and with no little majesty from the surrounding landscape. The 13 sandstone pillars have been ornamented over the millennia by human hand. Yet the true origins of the star stones can be discovered through geology. The unusual geological formation consists of a hard, erosion-resistant sandstone (so-called Osningsandstein), laid down during the early Cretaceous era about 100 million years ago. Thousands of years of erosion have washed the rocks from the surrounding soil and then were formed the surface of the stone. The rock formation stretches for seve
