    the toxic processionary caterpillar plague spreads across Europe and has also attacked my old oak tree, which I have been photographing for my four seasons album for years. the bench, which gave the oak its rustic comfort, has been removed because of this danger, and you can no longer go for a walk with your dog either....

    @klawe Drecks Viecher. Letzten Herbst haben sie mich erwischt; dauerte drei Monate bis es nicht mehr juckte...

    Diese Eiche steht bei Woppenroth auf den Hunsrück Highlands (war auch Drehort des Filmes "Heimat".).
    Die Sitzbank unter der Eiche hat allen Fotos von diesem Baum etwas besonderes gegeben. Mit diesen schönen Fotos ist im Laufe der Jahre auch das Album 4 Jahreszeiten entstanden.
    Wegen den Raupen wurde die Sitzbank unter der Eiche abgebaut und entfernt vom Baum aufgestellt.
    Ich hoffe, daß diese wunderbare Eiche von diesem Ungeziefer befreit und gerettet wird, und die Sitzbank wieder an seinen Platz kommt.

    Hi @umeshu , the bench under the old oak is gone for safety reasons. the tree stands on a cow meadow. It is cheaper to cut the old oak and turn it into firewood this winter than to clean it of the processional caterpillar nests. in the album of this photo you can see where the tree is, not in the village, just on a path. we are preparing to show the mayor how famous this oak is ... (the album of the oak in lomography has almost 5000 likes ...). Kind Regards Ralph

    a like from you in googlemaps maybe could help to draw attention to the tree infested by processional caterpillars. We try advertising and if this oak tree becomes a bit popular, we can take it to the mayor and ask if this beautiful and useful tree can be saved. it would of course be easier to cut the tree down and make firewood out of it. Kind Regards Ralph
