gone down low.

a walk by the river ended with a spectacular sunset. and afterwards we received a call concerning my dear brother. which was the reason, why we ended the vacations in wiesbaden and continued it in my homeland. people, i still can't grasp what happened. but now everything seems shadowy anyway. 

walking under one of the bridges that lead over the river to mainz ( schierstein bridge ).

view onto biebrich.




castle biebrich.

made a sweet stop at an italian ice parlour. i ended up with cappuccino and tiramisu. that tiramisu was heavenly. it was most perfect.

it even looked deliciously good. i would've liked to devour another one. yum!

the chandelier was another great detail!

then we walked back to schierstein and discovered this in a factory area.


the sunset was gorgeous. rhine sunsets are always so beautiful. the light is just magic.

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 ...
