tuesday's polyvore outfit!

i recently discovered the site polyvore! i will definitely use it for another project for this site: tuesday's polyvore outfit! this week it's something you can wear on very cold days! in germany it's around minus 10 degree celsius on days and weather stations tell us it's going to be 20 the following days. and that's very cold, like we have to experience russian temperatures. so i came up with some kind of outfit that's supposed to hold me warm :D well, not even warm enough, still need some hot cocoa or mulled children's wine, haha!

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 ...
