Hi,

I took a short flight around the "Lausitz" region in Eastern Germany today. Starting in the late 19th century this region was turned into a huge brown coal mining area.

Some have been filled with water after they closed leaving hundreds of small lakes.

Quite a few villages were re-located to make place for new mines.

Not the most beautiful region, but quite impressive from above.

Thanks for watching.
Manuel

Impressive scenery and great shots Manuel.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
