colour explosions.

spring is on its highest. i can smell the summer coming. why can't it be spring for two seasons instead of one? changes were made. i have new tattoos. i like them a lot. even though some people who are very dear to me dislike my decision. i knew they'd do that. but things were said that hurt me a lot. so spring is not only a time of awakening but also a time of sorrow and mourning. maybe it's not that bad after all but right now it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

the garden of my parents was in full bloom when visiting it two weeks ago. i miss this garden a lot.

we made a walk around the village. it was very stormy but i love this weather. i feel very alive feeling a heavy breeze on my skin, hair blowing in the wind.

i found a few little things, like this audio book tape. cinderella and the wolf and the seven little goats. unfortunately it was broken.

my findings: a feather, a chalk stone and the tape.

shadow roaming around. she was pregnant at that time. now she's the mother of four cutiepies again!

we had wonderful lunch when visiting my brother in erfurt. afterwards we went to a car exhibition.

the eye of a citroen.

dream car, really! everything about it screamed: i belong to speedy mari, haha.

old opel sign.

i have a lot of memories when looking at this car. we had one in the early 90ies and i always sat on top of it or had really good sleeps in it when we were driving somewhere. wartburg nostalgia.

old motorcycles.

stairway to heaven. how cheesy.

a fire engine trabant :D

opel still has a factory in eisenach. a town not only known for the castle wartburg, but also for its cars and automobile history. and yes, martin luther was here for a while.

old age does not shield beauty. or something along the lines.

beautiful pottery.

whimsy!

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, ...
