in the rain, on rabbit's pathways & garden delight.

raindrops on flowers, plants and blossoms are perhaps one of the best things to photograph, don't you agree with me? everything seems so much fresher after a decent rain fall. the colours of plants seem to pop.

happy snail!

in small villages as the one i grew up in, such views are very common!

a very old house near my childhood home. i always wanted to live in there, but it's in great disrepair... you'd have to take a lot of money into your hands to repair and restore everything.

a few years ago, there was still someone living in it. my wish is that in the future someone will buy this little ancient house and will bring it to life again. it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

the following pictures were made back in wiesbaden, on a sunny sunday in early may.

i followed the rabbit hiking trail, but i haven't discovered any.

but these cliffs in the middle of the forest will always be a favourite place of mine.

and some more pictures from early june when i was visiting my parents for a few days. the garden was in full bloom.

another snail slugging around.

poppies & cacti.

little baby kittens exploring the 'underwoods'. my cat shadow's first litter of the year.

clematis growth!

vines conquering trees.

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, ...
