closer.

i visited the frankfurt zoo again, this time with l. and my new camera. it was a beautiful day, i wish we could do things like these more often. i'm always a little bit sad about this, because l. is quite different from me. i love being in nature, she's preferring the solitude of her personal 4 walls. but sometimes we meet in the middle and it's always so charming when it happens. but first of a few random pictures shot on a birthday party. already with my new canon powershot sx130 is. i'm in love with this camera. it's bigger than my old one, but it shoots beautiful, beautiful photos. 




the moon! have you seen the moon yesterday evening? it was huge and beautiful and surrounded by misty clouds. lovely. ( addition: well, i thought the moon yesterday was huge. but supposedly the moon will be even bigger tonight! hopefully the sky will let the moon shine through the thick clouds! )

onto the animals.

dromedaries!


tigers!

egyptian goose and its little gooselings *O*

they were adorable.

don't ya think?

sea otters! quite cheeky these guys :D

l.'s wonderful pink hair!

little plushy things! unfortunately i can't tell you what these animals are. something mouse-like at least!

golden lion tamarin!

another little critter which name i forgot.

gundi! chubby little things!

this little bearded dragon was so photogenic! a model in its entirety.

random blossoms :3

sonoran desert frog. can't find informations about him anywhere.

this guy was really sassy! a water monitor!


rhinoceros iguana!

leafcutter ants!

tropidacris collaris.

a beauty, non?

millipedes *O*

southern cassowary!

flamingos.

i don't really have a clue when it comes to corals and fish. so i let these speak for themselves.


my most favourite animals in the world. meerkats!

they are SO twee!

look at this pork belly! i guess it is pregnant, but... LOOK AT THESE ROLLS!

so fat, so cute, so adorable!

and a picture of l. and me :D we drank slushies!

and here they are, my new tattoos! they're moons, in case you couldn't find out. in fact, they're galileian moons, drawn by galileo galilei :D it's just. i love the moon. i love the symbolic meaning of it and how it affects our everyday lives! don't you catch yourself sometimes looking up at the nightsky, searching for the moon and its soothing lights? i do. that's why i chose it as my tattoo motive. and it also symbolizes a circle and this leads to the circle of life and this leads to my most favourite symbol: uroboros. you could interprete a lot into these moons. and it would all be true.




sorry for blinding you with naked legs of mine.

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, ...
