autumn walks: from the central station to sonnenberg.

this walk was quite a hike. i needed three hours for the whole walk. 1.5 h to sonnenberg and 1.5 h back to the city. but it was nice. the pretty coloured trees and the architecture i've seen, made up for the bad muscle soreness i had after the walk. yeah, and these things still do, whilst i'm - again - struggling with my knee.

japanese maple.

this is going to be a kindergarten, but it definitely would be a dream house for me to live in. it's kinda strange that i like pompous villas as much as minimal houses. oh, the extremes.

the industrial training & technology center wiesbaden II.

view onto the inner city. i do live not far away from that black tower. in the back you can see the taunus.

i love detailed shoots. and i love the bokehs in the backgrounds that always develop when doing macroshots.

when you're going to sonnenberg, you will walk a bit of the rheinhöhenweg. there are two of this trail, one on the right side of the rhine and one on the left. the one on the right, starts or ends ( you have to choose :P ) in bonn-beuel or wiesbaden. i guess it's most idyllic when you walk it in autumn. oh. and you'd need a 2 week vacation to walk the whole trail, it's 320 km long.

the city wall tower of sonnenberg. it's the entry to castle sonnenberg.

it got dark by the time i returned in the city. it was a really wonderful walk.

and since it was the day of halloween i had to have a shot of my ceramic pumpkin.

....jetzt freue ich mich auf das Konzert & les dann auf der selben Seite, dass Kagrra sich im März trennen werden.... irgendwie haut mich das um. Deren Konzert fand ich bisher das beste überhaupt & ihre Musik hat mir immer gut gefallen.... es gibt ja wenige Bands, die ich wirklich mag, aber bei denen tut mir das jetzt echt leid.... *a lil down*

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, ...
