february: bits and pieces of an average life.

a few of these pictures are from two weeks ago, when my parents visited me. others are just random moments. 

carvings in stone on a building here in wiesbaden.

one of my most favourite cafés in frankfurt is iimori. it's japanese and tiny and full of mismatched cutlery and perfect wallpapers. the cakes and drinks and coffee are outstanding - little works of food art.

from time to time you just have to indulge even in tiny cakes like that.

a cormorant fishing for food. these black companions have something about them i really like to observe.

triangle obsession continued. geometrical shapes.

mother on a bench. sometimes i really should compose a picture, so it doesn't turns out like this. it could've been an almost symmetrical picture if i noticed the symmetry while i was shooting it.

sunset. the schierstein harbour is a perfect place for witnessing the sun go down or up.

storks nesting again. they were very in love and had to show the whole world how deeply they were. stork love happens dangerously high above.

the rhein-main-hallen ( a congress & event venue near my place ) are torn down to get constructed again in a new way. meanwhile we had the chance to witness its demolition from very close.

all those keys they've been hiding? who needs so many keys? they also found a world war II bomb while they were tearing the venue down and as luck had it, i wasn't at home when they evacuated the neighbouring buildings and streets. as always i was missing out on the dramatic stuff.

only skeletons left.

the kurhaus in the evening.

wiesbaden at night.

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, ...
