I witnessed this air rescue helicopter in action in Munich earlier this year. There had been accident involving a cyclist and a car. I did not take photos of the emergency doctor and paramedics treating the badly injured cyclist, actually we left the scene as soon as the helicopter had landed. But … there were real people working inside.

I’ve just returned from an awesome long weekend with friends in the Black Forest. I haven’t had time to sort any of the photos yet but I can give you this oddball find. We were an international group with many native English speakers and we had a great laugh trying to find out how to pronounce topogganing.
