may '18: potpourri.

fresh red leaves of the japanese maple tree in my parent's garden.

it's time for another post about various random things i took photos of during the month of may - pictures that never quite fit to a theme.

fresh growth:




a tiny visit in sömmerda:

the brickstone facade of the public swimming pool ( built in 1976 ). 

i really, whole-heartedly love the relief! it's a wonderful example of GDR art in architecture.

the public swimming pool. i couldn't find any info on who the architect was or who created the reliefs on the facade. i only know it got built in 1976.

some lovely smelling blossoms. ( i think it's honeysuckle )

the canal for kayaking and rafting.

the unstrut river flowing through backyards and creating idyllic havens of relaxation.

it was so beautiful here!

canola fields around my home village:



home in the plains of the thuringian basin.

we have lots of wind turbine parks in the basin.

a view onto dielsdorf, a tiny village that's actually a district of the village i come from - schloßvippach.


when you find a single salmon-coloured poppy in the middle of a corn field... 😍


random geometric patterns on tiny cemetery mourning halls:


cozy spaces in my parent's garden:

underneath apple trees.

my dad's hobby is felling trees & chopping wood and creating wood staples in our garden ;P

the green paradise that is my parent's garden.



apple tree shadows.

i cannot resist the beauty of iris flowers.

lots and lots of chamomiles.


and sunshine lilies!


i love how the watering can just randomly was thrown into the garden 😂 lupine blossoms are so wonderful, though,

columbines or granny's nightcap.

two very rare animals on this path: waterhose snakes ;P

even simple clover blossoms please my frugal heart.

now that the may coverage is over and done with - let's move to june '18!

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, ...
