i really wanted to walk near a cliff line in my vacations so we decided to have a walk at the brodtener ufer. it's a cliff line between niendorf & lübeck-travemünde. i know that next time i'm going to visit a cliff line i'll be walking right under it, not high above it, because it seems so secluded from the rest of the world. it's great to look out to the sea with an abyss down your feet, though.
it was a rather cloudy day, but the sun peeked through a few times so the sea looked kind of turquoise/green. the baltic sea isn't that dirty like everybody tells you, the reason for the sometimes dingy appearance is just that there are a lot of plants and algae on the bottom of the sea which get ripped out every once in a while because of sea turbulencies.
that view was just amazing. i could stand there for hours and not even get remotely bored.
a few people enjoying the seclusion.
trees and soil sliding into the sea. the thing about cliff lines is that they are always changing. next year the trees could even be located down the beach.
there were a lot of swans simming around in that area.
wild geese making their way to somewhere.
these sculptures were scattered by the pathway. they were made by guillermo steinbrüggen.
mom and dad sitting on a bench and looking out to the sea.
timmy the lamb is my constant companion when i go discover foreign areas. it's a backpack! i try to document his adventures from time to time. i think he didn't want to be so close to the abyss, he looks kind of scared, doesn't he?
another bench sculpture by steinbrüggen, this time it is an owl. which i was really excited about, because owls!
and my father documented my excitement, haha.
and another one - a rabbit.
sea-buckthorns are a very common sight by the baltic sea. i don't know why i love these bushes so much, something about them, that pleases my eye.
unripe buckthorn fruit!
it just looks kind of exotic, doesn't it?
beautiful bramble blossoms.
and the last sculpture of that day - a fish bench! me and my mother were posing on it eventually, but the pictures didn't turn out acceptable, haha.
