the baltic sea chronicles 2012: day 1 & day 2.

if i could ( and maybe i should ) i'd move immediately to north germany. i'm so in love with the sea, the landscapes, the weather, flora and fauna. and most of all, i feel a positive solitude. with the roar of the waves and soft sand under your feet the beach is perfect for daydreaming, contemplating and generally degenerating. the weather is beautiful either way, may it be stormy, overcast and rainy or sunny and bright.
on the whole, i feel more like myself up there than i feel here in wiesbaden.

day 1.
on the way up north in the early morning.

i simply love this portrait of my father. i couldn't refrain from posting this. usually i don't like to post about the people i love or am acquainted with. you never know if they dislike being shown online.

thatched roofs! so romantic.

again, my dear father.

the beach around lunch time.

scuba divers!

my father ( left ), my mother ( behind the woman on the right ) and the people ( in the middle and woman on the right side ), we've spent our vacations with.



relaxing on the pier.

my beloved owl purse that i got from lea.

the roof of the house we were accommodated in.

lots and lots of flowers and plants have been photographed.


day 2 
an eel bow net.

the second day we were out on the beach. the weather was perfect for swimming. unfortunately it was a rare occurence.

ducks!


the water was so blue and turquoise, it was splendid.


the ever present sea gull.

in the afternoon the sky got more cloudy. i love dramatic skies! soon enough it cleared again.


we made a short walk through the village in the evening.

see, evening sky was blue again. 





snail trail :)




beautiful house.

a fake cat climbing up balustrades.




the late evening hours brought storm clouds. i love the constant change in the weater. makes for beautiful skyscapes.

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, ...
