My new hobbies: bats and golf
I always had the strangest mixes of hobbies. Thus, my newest hobbies fit very nicely into that list. Recently my wife and I both took a golf class in order to learn playing golf and in order to get the "license" that is needed in Germany in order to be allowed to play on a real golf course. The one-week class was a lot of fun, even though my joints are still aching. I hope the pain will go away quickly, so that I can give in to my new addiction.

Another new hobby - and the one that actually makes my list of hobbies strange - is bats. I was always very interested in nature, but in the past I was more into bird watching. I even managed to get my wife addicted to bird watching as well. Recently my wife and I attended a few guided tours where we were introduced to the local bat species via ultra-sound / bat detectors. Since my wife and I wanted to learn more about bats and in order to get a chance to see them from closer by, we both volunteered to help with "cleaning up" the "houses" of the endangered species. On this picture you can see how we checked the "houses". It was a lot of fun! Being in nature is always fun! And that we got pretty close to the bats via our "housekeeping work" becomes obvious in the following pictures that I took with my little camera:

BTW, this one is NOT dead! It only pretends to be dead!
