On Monday morning, the Taunus presented itself in a fashionable cloud dress. 🌫🌫 The left mountain is the Altkönig ("Old King"). Around 400 BC, the Celts settled there. Remains of the settlement and several ringwalls can be visited. It's the third highest mountain in the Taunus (798 m). The right mountain ist the Großer Feldberg ("Great Field Mountain"). On its top you can see the Feldberg/Taunus transmitter and the observation tower. It's the highest elevation of the Taunus mountains and of the entire Rheinish Massif (879 m). There, too, you will find interesting traces of the past. For example, there are parts of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes and other significant remains of the Romans. You can also visit the Brunhildisfelsen ("Brunhild's Rock"). This name is said to go back to the legend of Sigurd, as there Brunhild once said to have been put to sleep by Odin. Sigurd fulfilled the requirements to wake her up again.

When the sky turns beautiful,
the sloth feels very nice.
Then the rays burn colorful
- a fire in my eyes.

Sometimes one flower needs another flower to remind that the sun will rise again.

You shouldn't take the tour to Islas Ballestas in blazing sun. In the morning it's much cooler and the animals are still on the rocks. Imagine this photo in a bright blue sky. Not very exciting, right? Take the first tour, it will be worth it!

Sloth Neeews: Sea Lions Queen scratches her ear! Paparazzi right on the spot! What is Seagull doing there? Sloth Neeews reports directly on this event from 2018. Stay tuned but don't forget your life goals.

West of the village of Maras are these unusual Inca ruins. Their depth, design and orientation creates a temperature difference of as much as 15°C (27°F) between the top and the bottom. The purpose is uncertain, but it may have been used for agricultural experiments. It has been discovered that the soil of the terraces comes from different places. The Inca have produced countless varieties of potatoes, quinoa and corn. Until 50 years ago, potatoes and barley were grown here.

"Sunrise Flowers" this morning during my sloth wandering. Sloths are always in action, just very slow. This video symbolises the stages of getting up. It always starts with a blurry thistle.

I like to watch sunsets! 🤗
Although my construction on the dog bag dispenser didn't withstand the strong wind, I still think the result is very nice. 😋 The video shows a time-lapse of the last 30 minutes of yesterday's sunset. ⏱

Today I slept for a long time. But exactly one year ago I was on a sloth wandering and shot this photo of the sunrise.
