Nice landscape in the first photo. So are all the trees on the hillside from purposeful planting rather than just natural forest growth due to lack of recent human use? Is that a layer of fog in the second and fourth photos?

Hi, yes the dark green trees are imported but the ones below that are native. I don't think there was any forest there before the imported trees. Maybe 1600s.

The fog is there yes and it has been there all day keeping areas in the fog from rising above low teens.

Apparently, around Paris, the most common species are, in decreasing order, oak (about half of the trees), ash, chestnut tree, scots pine, robinia, birch, poplar and beech.



Got yet another batch of pics. People lounging on the lawn, Schlossplatz, Stuttgart

This pic Rozenn took... Wow. If you blur the texts, I'd say this is from Finland. Looks exactly like here!

The grass here is distressed - turning yellowy in colour, especially verges. Less than 20mm since 31 June.
