One of my oddest travel stories comes from Czech Republic, early 1990's.

I went for a early morning walk, walked for hours. Walked from small village to small town in upper Czech near the Polish border.

1. A cluster of trees (deciduous)/small woods with closely space trees. They were about three inches in diameter/caliper, but over 100 foot tall. Sort of like a bamboo forest.

2. I saw a large hare stand up on it's hind legs and look at me from about 80 feet away. It's ears were almost 1/3 of it's height and it stood up about five foot tall - HUGE.

3. The deer I saw was smaller than the rabbit/hare. Very spindly looking just like the trees, not a fawn, looked fully grown but it's back was only about 26-inches high. Beautiful markings (spots/stripes), look like an art project by the forest goddess.

Strange planet this place called Earth.
