Sebastian, a.k.a. Wesi, turned out to be that bike lover I expected. Having about seven of them, there was also one for me, and so I went for a looooong bikeride around Dresdner Heide, a forest reserve within the city.

It was wonderful! The path went along a small river, where you couldn't hear anything than the silent noise of the water flowing and some hesitant chirping of the first birds. The light breeze and already kind of warm sunbeams, drawing a nice pattern of shadow onto the old leaves from last fall, were the first signs that spring is on its way.



While there were still like -13 degrees when I left Poland, it even smelled springy when opening the window on my first morning in Dresden, and out there in the forest, only a little bit of snow glittering at the riverbanks reminded you of the winter.



And unreal sceneries sometimes make you feel in some science fiction world....
