Evening panorama

As indicated in the previous photo, I was surprised to step out of miles of forest to see this vista. In fact, looking up the location on Google maps, I am even more surprised. At the time of the Google satellite pictures, the valley was still being mined. The other surprise is that I was unknowingly standing on the frontier. The viewing platform is German, but all the valley is French.

View from Rabbit Hill: 85% of the area of Saarbrücken has not been built upon. Around 50% of that is woodland.
