Post by: ChickenHawk on March 03, 2006, 12:52:30 PM: I didn't realize Holland was so flat. If I didn't know better I would say those last two pictures were taken in the Midwest here in the US.

Great pics though. Thanks for sharing.

Hah! I know it- have been there. Flew into Teuge-Deventer airfield, and stayed near Appeldoorn - visited the Royal Palace area, and saw the peanoodles.

Post by: Panzzer on March 04, 2006, 08:48:58 PM: I snapped some pics today. Too bad I was using a film camera, I can't get the pics soon (18 pics left in a 24-pic film, Canon EOS-300)... Less than half a meter of snow in here now. But it's all soft, powdery snow. :)

Apparently it's the worst snow in Munich/Bavaria since 1942.

Yeah, let me know when you're down in May and we can meet up for a Weißbier or 10 ;)
