july: wood walking.

a few pictures that were created while i was doing one of my favourite pastime activities - doing walks through the woods. it was a really beautiful walk, forest flowers were in full bloom, bees and crickets were buzzing, little moths, butterflies and beetles in the air.  and i even found the most perfect sun bleached tree stumps! i love to walk through peaceful forests ( at least when they're not too overfilled with people ) and just concentrate on the sounds of the birds, the wind, the buzzing. i can only say it again and again - it's the perfect tool to calm myself down.



thistles have the best spidery blossoms.






loving the structure of sun bleached wood. so soft and even.

a few grasses were swaying beautifully in the wind, it looked like a cloud of feathers.


mothling hanging around on tiny button blooms.

i love the little concentrically arranged flushes, tiny pieces of art.

how about another moth picture?

and a tiny beetle made it's way over the plant as well. for me, those flowers are a feast for the eyes.

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, ...
