winter and carnival season.

i visited london recently and before i get to the pictures and recap of this whole event there are still a few pictures from january left. i wasn't in a good mood all january long, i retreated from my social life for a while. work was a pain as well. right now, i feel better, but i feel kind of disconnected now. disconnected from close friends especially, because i had felt the need of distancing myself from them. but sometimes i can't be bothered with other people's life because i feel so envious about them. that's when i retreat into my own snailshell, in the hope of not hurting them with bad thinking and vibes. the downside of this is of course the feel of disconnection after one is pulling oneself out of this dark, devouring state of depression. i guess i have to live with that. but maybe its destroying more of my relationships with people than i really would like to.

either way... here are some dark and snowy pictures, and a few of the carnival season this year.

the most beautiful sunset. i need more moments like these.

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 ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

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, ...
