    Have you ever checked them in the dark, Ernst? Is it a strong effect?     Posted 6 years ago

      This is the first time I found them. I did go back that night but could not find them again . I did get worried that I might get lost as there are no Pathways .Ilistening what people say , it is quit special to see . At least for some of us. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
