in latest escalation

I took these photos at Miniaturland #Leer last week. There, the entire region of #EastFrisia (as well as Ammerland and the German capital Berlin) is displayed on a scale of 1:87. The exhibition area covers more than 1,500 square metres. Buttons can be pressed at various points to provide entertainment. For example, a cruise ship moves towards a harbour and fireworks go off, or photographers snap a group of cyclists taking part in a race. And yes, there are also some ‘naughty’ movements in the undergrowth.
The #Ostfriesland hall is illuminated in green, which makes this region look even more inviting 😊 If you like, click through the pictures, explanations can be found in the alt text.

I can’t pretend to be a lover of death metal but I love this story of the lovely @markwyner’s musical escapades.

I particularly love the international underground postal system they developed to circumvent existing only at the mercy of the music industry bigwigs.
