dog-racing track in Oberhausen past Sunday I had arranged with our photographer Thomas-snack on the dog track in Oberhausen. Mr Thomas has already gained plenty of experience with photography by galloping dogs.
He always says, if it work out in Oberhausen the dogs on the track for him training day, with camera and telephoto lens. for me on Sunday was the very first attempt. The difficulty of these subjects - the greyhound racing with nearly 50km / h on it - I was relatively happy with my results. I say relatively because until the levels of photographic Thomas is still a huge distance. Nevertheless I want to set some times my first films, may have fallen sie dem einen oder anderen.
Die Windhunde waren die schnellsten unter den Konkurrenten 
wie immer: zum Vergrößern auf die Fotos klicken 
das ist doch fast schon ein Flughund. Man beachte den Abstand zu seinem Schatten am Boden 
then came a lap with Afghans 
are a lot slower, but I find them but somehow aesthetic with their long hair and ears flying Just like that, just because mistress or master says that, of course, none of the dogs ran from the lungs the neck.
Rather, we are provide a target. And this goal is the so-called rabbit dar. The hare, which is a piece of fake fur, drenched with something tempting smelling, it's worth it to pursue. This "Bunny" is out on a rope, pulled around the oval track. that violates none of the dogs when he unexpectedly the "rabbit" caught, has the line between the rod and the "rabbit" almost a breaking point. And what happens if this breaks breaking point, you see in the picture below. 
die Meute stürzt sich darauf und reißt und zerrt. Das ist auch der Grund, warum die alle einen Beißkorb tragen. Im Eifer des Gefechtes könnte ja doch einer den Konkurrenten verletzen. Leider konnte ich nicht den ganzen Tag bleiben, aber ganz bestimmt war das nicht mein letzter Besuch in Oberhausen. Fortsetzung folgt

Altschloßfelsen at Eppenbrunn den Sonnenschein der vergangenen Woche haben wir genutzt um mal wieder eine Wanderung im Pfälzerwald zu unternehmen. Mit dem Auto ging es nach Eppenbrunn. Eppenbrunn liegt ca. 10 km südsüdwestlich von Pirmasens und 16 km westsüdwestlich von Dahn. Wenn man aus nördlicher Direction of Pirmasens come from or from B10, then you drive Eppenbrunn on the valley road, lake road (L478) and turn after the village turn right to the parking lot on a spit pond. The junction is signposted from the L478. For GPS users, the parking lot is after
at UTM 32U 0394960E 5440340N or in degrees, minutes, 49 ° 06'25''N 007 ° 33'39''E 
goes from there continue on foot pike pond on No. 3 road, the Helmut Kohl-way along the small lake in a westerly direction. The road bends to the left for some time and is growing. The entire route is well marked all the way up to the rock with the round Platikschildchen with No.3 and the PWV-marking white cross. After about half an hour you reach the goal, the impressive Altschloßfelsen to breaking mountain. 
The red sandstone formation extends over a length of 1500m and lies at an altitude 406m above sea level. In the course of this circular path, we know from the PWV-marking blue bar oriented. If one follows the path (white-blue) reach the top of the rock a beautiful viewpoint with several tables and benches that invite you to rest. There is no error when there is a jacket above it. Sometimes blows in this exposed body a little more violent wind, which can feel that perhaps the rise even slightly damp sweat shirt cool.
After the Council, it is further along the path that adheres precisely to the Franco-German border and soon bends sharply to the right. The junction is signposted "Vinningen. After another short distance we come to a rock relief, which is the Roman goddess of the hunt, Diana.
Because this work of art has some exposed years (since Roman times) to the weather, and sandstone is not one of the hardest types of stone, is the imagination of the viewer very demanded when Diana, accompanied by their dogs and the war god Mars, next to Silvanus, the god wants to see the forest. But that it should be telling us the tradition, namely, that has a senior officer of the Roman legions here as a reward for exceptional hunting level, the relief can be produced.
Our path leads us on an old trade route, the road salt that led up to to Metz. The road was already in Roman times with sandstone blocks attached. Remains of this road surface are partially visible today. 
out after a brief climb our way out of the forest in a more open landscape, between the towns by Hilst and Schweik, along the Hilstbaches into the valley to Trualbe. Here we turn right and follow the path with the marker green bar along the idyllic brook Eppenbrunn direction. Just before the site offers a picnic area, the opportunity may be overheated feet in the stream cool.
At the entrance of Eppenbrunn we have turned into "Kuppers Gaad", a very nice restaurant with spacious garden, where can go fill up evaporated liquid reserves in a pleasant way again. but I warn explicitly against overcrowding, as there is still a little distance to go before we arrive back at the parking lot.
Either walk along the village road to the junction of the L478, this path is almost flat, but is a little further. Or you stick in the city west of the stream and back to rising path follows the white cross, so that you arrive above the parking lot and then back to the familiar path No.3 true back then which one the parking lot below. Overall, it has come to the circuit described at least 15 km.
If that seems too far that could of course run back after the climb to the Altschloßfelsen the same way again.
In any case, I think this is a worthwhile trip into our beautiful home Palatine
