dresden pt. 4.

hello, all! i know, there was huge break between the last post and this one, but it was because i was working all week ( and still am - no day off ), but today i could go home in time ( like 20 minutes after work officially ended for me ), so i have some time for this last dresden post :D
no big words, off we go!

the last day we made a boat sight seeing on the elbe ( and before that visited the 'grüne gewölbe' - so there's a few 'not on board' photos as well ). we started in dresden and ended up in pillnitz ( with the wonderful castle pillnitz - which we did not explore any further, unfortunately. ) it was a very sunny day and perfect for making a boat trip! i even got my regular sun burn - it's a rule by now, everytime i'm on a boat sun has to kiss me! )


in the morning.


there were horses nearby our accommodation.


the catholic church again.


silhouettes.


lion head in front of the grüne gewölbe.


frauenkirche! it was crowded everytime we passed here. which was a bit annoying.


hello!


these charming guys were very humerous and pure gentlemen. very elegant and well-mannered :D


row, row, row your boat. here you can see the ministry of finances from far away.


and now we're directly in front of it. perfect place to sit and enjoy the sun, no?



augustusbridge.


this is an old waterwork.


beautifull villas everywhere!


paddle wheel steamer dresden.


castle albrechtsberg.


i think this was castle eckberg.

we were on the steamer 'leipzig'.


foamy floods.


the dresden tv tower - or the 'champagne glass'.

the houses in pillnitz were really idyllic <3


and that was the last picture i took of my trip to dresden.


'the cat' being a good mother even though she's not always one. here you can see her under our sofa. she took her babies and in a moment when i wasn't watching she weaseled into the living room, haha.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

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 ...
