Off I went shortly after 6:45 in the morning to view sunrise from Mt. Hohenstaufen. Half an hour in on the trip and I had to strip my jacket, we're supposed to reach 25°C today. Prepared with a bag in my backpack, I pouched the rest of the quinces. The colors in the sky were quite nice, but didn't compare to yesterday's sunrise with all the Saharian dust. It's really nice to see everything lit differently in the morning. Usually I go in the afternoon or evening.
Sunrise
I reckon the view makes up for a good excuse not to attend today's yarn call. :-)
@lyse Very nice! Curious what the rest of that sign with a woodpecker says on it? 😅 Very nice colours all-round! 👌

@lyse Oi, nice. Lighting can be great when the sun is that low. Any idea what that stuff in 04.jpg is? Looks like ash? 🤔
I haven’t done an “early morning photo tour” in a long time. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow. 🤔 😊

Thanks mates! @prologic The woodpecker sign is a forest preserve. Below it reads: "Please show consideration for nature and other people at Mt. Hohenstaufen and follow these rules: a) Everybody stays on the marked paths b) Dogs are leashed c) Cyclists are driving carefully and slowly" @movq The fourth photo shows a small molehill made of very dry dirt. I can highly recommend a morning hike. I'll do it again tomorrow and leave maybe 20 minutes earlier to see the initial red stripe develop in the sky. Hopefully. The weather is going to be insane again.
Damn, I didn't think of the return to standard time when I set my alarm clock to 06:00 last night. I'm going to miss sunrise, even if I take the bike for half of the trip. It's going to be uphill all the way. Stupid time change fuckery!
@lyse In the “good old times” where clocks didn’t correct themselves, you would have woken up an hour early. 😂

@movq Exactly, that would have been the right time regarding sunrise watching. As feared, I didn't make it to the summit in time. I had to start taking some photos from the mountain's foot. Gonna have to go through all these close to 500 photos first, though. Stay tuned.
Alrighty then! As already written, I stopped several times to take photos along the way. I reached the summit between 05 and 06. On the way back I passed my first squirrel of the season and luckily it hissed at me, otherwise I would not have seen it. It was constantly trashing around and jumping all over the place, so I only got one okay shot.

I also tried to get a better shot at yesterday's molehills, but lighting was just not cooperating at this early time of day.
@lyse Nan those are some awesome sunrise s! 👌

@lyse Nice! 😊
The lady got glasses or are those yours?
Also, squirrels hiss? I’ve never heard them make a sound. 😲

Thank you, @prologic and @abucci! And now for a sunset to complete the day. I went on a hike again this afternoon. But I didn't reach my planned destination. Spontaneously decided to stay at a deerstand. I tried out a new path I've never been on. It kind of dead ended in the forest, so I used some animal trails to continue. Came across lots of mushrooms, quite some nastly looking ones. I also met little red riding hood.
Crazy colored leaves
@lyse the colors are so amazing. The mushrooms look pretty cool too. 
@lyse 22.jpg confuses the hell out of me. Do those trees grow sideways? 🤨 Optical illusion, eh?

@movq @abucci @stigatle Thank you very much!
Somebody had put the glasses on her. That must have been already on Friday at the latest, on Saturday morning she already wore them. But today the glasses were gone.
Oh yes, squirrels can hiss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=716LcgLPN5w A little bit less frightening, mostly just banging its feet on the ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwEgX8hG8W8 I don't see them doing that very often. Usually they just jump away. That was maybe my fifth time I've witnessed it. The first time was in summer 2018 or 2019. I was also quite puzzled when I heard it. Thought it might have raving madness because I didn't know that that's a squirrel thing.
On that hill trees indeed grow at a right angle from the surface. Looking pretty cool. And thanks to your question I now know why I like that landscape so much. I did not notice the weird growing angles when I took the photo. It's real, no trickery involved. :-)
Yup, looking at mushrooms is fun. I just reckon they are probably not edible, though. ;-)
