kammerforst is a forest area of hohe schrecke, a ridge of hills located on the northern rim of the thuringian basin.
my mother recommended this place to me, as she had already ventured out there with my dad before a few times. we went there on a late afternoon just to get out of the house and get our heads free.
i did a lot of activities with my mother that week because my father had to work most of the time. we had a really good time and talked a lot and generally enjoyed each other's presence ( it's not always easy with her - we are very much alike, stubborn, paranoid & anxious - we had a lot of quarrels when i was a teenager, but these days i mostly get along great with her ). i remember that i never wanted to 'end up' like my mother as a teenager, i felt she was too negative and accusatory. now i look at that differently, because i'm actually very much alike. of course this probably means that she rubbed off on me, but then again, these days i feel that we bond much better over things, as i understand where she's coming from with her opinions. ( i still think my personality is a lot softer than hers, though, i'm melodramatic and kind of romantic and all that shebang - she's a lot tougher than i am )
anyway, the walk in those woods back then, it was really nice.
we found a dragon.
early canola field blossoms.
maple blossoms. they are the best green colour available in spring.
woodsy meadows.
my mother on the brink of endless green fields.
can we agree that spring is heart-opening? i lovelovelove that time of the year. and the exact opposite, autumn. those are the seasons that are dearest to my heart.

shady illumination.
