walking by the rhine is always making me feel wide awake & conscious. no matter what time of the year it is. i tend to forget what calming effect water has on me. rivers, lakes, the big wide sea, all of them contribute to my wellbeing. when i can feel the wind on my skin and hear the waves crashing against the shores it's like my personal heaven.
i went for a walk that started in schierstein harbour and brought me to walluf, a little village situated a few kilometres away from schierstein.
the storks built their nests again! schierstein is the perfect birth place for storks and they return here year after year.
breeding.
searching for food.
boat harbour.
the little swimming house on the left is called 'die schwabbel' ( wobble in german - refers to the fact that the little house is constantly wobbling due to waves ) - it's a little snack-bar.
one of walluf's medieval squares.
one of the best things about spring are blooming magnolias. they are so magnificient.
little dead-end alleys.
pebble beach.
flowing waters.
the streets of walluf are narrow, but so charming.
water meadows that were currently dry.
this is the area where the storks are living - and a lot of other water birds and animals.
i found me some nice sitting place at the shores.
the view onto budenheim ( i think ).
tiny blossoms in a harsh environment.
the willows were budding the greenest leaves, it was simply gorgeous.
i think their leaves have the best colour and this year they represent spring for me. indeed, it could be the colour of the awakening of nature.
