Verboten!

Verboten!

The purple pins are places you can't or at least shouldn't go.

These places are on this list for one or more of the following reasons:

  • legally prohibited
  • private property
  • dangerous, toxic, or just plain stupid

Verboten is German for forbidden. In French that would be interdite, which probably has never stopped anybody. It certainly never stopped the Germans. Deutsche is a fine sledgehammer of a language.

These are small birds that are often seen over water. They both feed on flying insects, which they catch on the wing, and over water seems to be a good place to do that. At night, these birds are replaced by bats, doing the same thing. You are unlikely to get a good look at any of these, as they are all very fast and agile fliers.
