april: now in spring.

a morning walk through the parks of wiesbaden.

spring and fall are my favourite seasons, because they are both the most colourful ones.

birth and death.

almost open magnolia buds.

the roman columns in the kurpark.

pansies ( stiefmütterchen in german - which means little stepmothers - the stepmother is the biggest petal on the plant and is surrounded by daughters and stepdaughters ) and tulips.

part of the kurhaus. it is truly an amazing building.

trees mirroring in the windows.

this egyptian goose had a strange little friend: a mandarin duck.

it seriously is one beautiful little duck.

stopping by the sonnenberg castle.

the church of the sacred heart in sonnenberg.

bat gate! i am so envious of such a pretty gate!

cherry blossoms.

all those blooming trees are a benefaction to my heart.

yellow and blue.

the assi box. actually it is the gassi box ( basically the ' take the dog out' box - gassi gehen means actually: going out onto the alley, gassi is a belittlement of the word gasse which means alley ). in germany an assi is someone who basically is a social misfit... maybe you could also call them white trash. a lot of assis have dogs... so this is not too far-fetched, haha. ( beware, i'm not lumping together all dog-owners - it is just a word play which i found quite funny. ) oh, and a gassi-box is actually a box which contributes bags for dog feces.

more beauitful trees in bloom.

and a recent photograph. cat blouse & hematite pendant love!

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, ...
