new world.

after it has snowed it always feels like the world is newborn, birthed all white and innocent. i love snow too much. and it's so sad that we get so little of it. it snowed in early december but by the time it was christmas, everything was gone again. and only now, in the middle of january the snow returns. i wonder how long it will last. i'd wish for at least 2 months until spring decides to brings us greens and blossoms. like in the old times, when winter still was winter, showing its snowing skills in november and staying like that until march.

snowed in. 
having a short break from driving to my parent's place near the autobahn.

prints in the snow. 
at home, the cat takes full advantage of the snow. i think she loves it quite a lot, just for the fact alone that she is sometimes granted a sneek in to the house for warming up. my parent's fed her well and she's a huge furry ball in winter times. i love her paw prints in the snow.

exploring the snow. 
outside tiger. in the dark she is like a shadow, you can overlook her pretty fast. that's why she got her name. shadow. shadow cat. schatten. 

paw prints. 
more paw prints.

city hall glory. 
city hall of soemmerda. soemmerda in the evening surely is quite empty. they roll up the sidewalks pretty early.

empty pre-christmas streets. 
no one outside to peek into the shop windows.

city hall sömmerda.

art in the garden? 
i don't know, but my father leaves things at the most curious places. it's almost like art installations.

ice & broken windows.
ice and glass.

hanging out in the house. 
shadow succeeded in getting into the house and on my bed. there was a long cleaning session and quite a lot of snoring involved.

soft pads. 
focus on her soft pads.

sharp claws. 
and also: sharp claws.

cleaning time.
i leave you with another picture of my dearest cat.

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, ...
