tidbits and icescapes.

so, i have to apologize for not updating. but why should i apologize? this little blog is just a diary of happenings in my life, and no one seems to be interested in it but me, which is totally okay with me. but oh boy, stuff is happening too fast right now and i can't really grasp it. i have the feeling that soon i'll be 30, then 40, then 50, and nothing will have ever changed. i can't even look past the 50. i guess, i will not exist anymore by then. i love what happens at the moment, all the gatherings and visits and trips. all the future happening around me. but not for me. only other people seem to expect a so-called future. with plans and goals. i try to enjoy the little life i still have. you'll never know when desperation and anxieties and deprivation comes back.

well, to end these thoughts, some pictures. of little things and icy days.

it was so funny to feed the birds on the ice, they slipped all the time to get a few crumbs of bread.

ice man!

it was a beautiful day.

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, ...
