weekly glee # 16 2009 : post-halloween edition .

halloween is over, but the glamour of it never really fades. this is why there's still so much spooky and creepy stuff in this post.

1. desertions.

police motorcycle / cuteness on the rocks.

# 1940ies house by the river by themushroomtea - very creepy little house with cat skeleton, mummified rat, lost shoes and a loooot of dark corners.
# '...and all the pieces matter' by thehoodwatch - pictures from the abandoned set of HBO's 'the wire' in columbia, md. apparently, 'the wire' was a tv series and the settings of it are now abandoned. lovely! you'd never see a real police department abandoned, i s'ppose. see also: halloween houses.
# abandoned estate of the bibi family in grebnevo by new_karfagen - lion heads, yawning cats ( beware! cute! ), puppets in windows. this estate has a lot of little surprises waiting for you :D
# up on sale are those two estates: kimora lee simmons' luxurious villa with own cinema and sport studio & dylan mcdermott's home with the best old doors ever.

2. photogenius.

psycho house / bird fears

# the brothers grimm by matthew brooks for t magazine - oooh, guys with style! i love the tailored coats and everything.
# grazia by antonio redaelli - cozy clothes and the rifled hair + marble skin = <3
# the birds by peter lindberg 2006 - a photoshoot based on the alfred hitchcock movie 'the birds'. very eerie and gorgeous at the same time. see also: peter lindberg made another set for the movie psycho!

3. architecture & design.

# cartesia drawers by nosigner - this drawer is totally crazy and versatile! it opens up in different directions and has a lot of storing room.

4. diversity.

the creepiest places on earth

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
