bygone summerdays.

after some rain and cloudy skies we had summer time waiting for us. so we decided to go swimming, sunbathing, reading and relaxing. in the evenings we took walks by the rhine, which was so soothing in any way possible. i know, i'm a water girl by heart.

me & nici posing on the blanket at the lido.

doesn't really look like me. but it actually is.

clear, blue lido water.

we made a short trip to eltville.

i love these small little houses. oh, i wish i'd be living in one.

swans were checking the river out.

eltville is a small city known for its roses. you can find them everywhere! the remains of the elector's castle house a small rose garden as well.

random teddy hanging in a tree. wonder how he got there. the tree was quite tall.

young plants rising. i love being at my parent's home, their garden is full of little plants and flowers.

nothing can age so beautifully.

shadow - my cat. i miss her a lot.

in the garden of my childhood home.

well, next post will finally contain the baltic sea.

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, ...
