Forest Path


Going through a forest is something very relaxing. Hearing nothing else than the branches and the wood in the wind, hearing the crows and many other birds and animals, that is absolutely enjoyable. I shot the photo above early in the morning when I was wandering around a pond. The trail led me through a forest on the other side of the pond.  If you take the trails where I am right now, you get a mixed view of fields, waters and forests. I am surprised how many birds there are, especially many little ones, but I had no luck … Continue reading Forest Path

Hike Through The Fog


I like the paths you can find in Reinfeld, but as mentioned, walking there is even more interesting when it’s misty, because it’s mysterious. Some people might dislike the wet air and would stay at home when it’s misty, but I do really love to go out, and then you can enjoy it all alone. I did maybe see three people there in one hour, one jogger, and two womans with their dogs, some people just like it, others not. We do sometimes have fog in the morning, but it doesn’t happen too often that there is fog all day … Continue reading Hike Through The Fog

Misty Path


Misty weather makes things look interesting and mysterious, I really like misty weather. We had it misty today, and that all day long. I grabbed my camera in the afternoon one hour before it gets dark, because I thought I could take some mysterious photos along one of the paths near a big pond. I shot several photos, but I really like the one you can see in this post. When my aunt saw the photo, she said “I wouldn’t have walked there in the mist, because it looks creepy”, and I laughed and replied “Well, I am glad you … Continue reading Misty Path

Finally It’s Cold


It took a while, but now it’s cold. We have sub-zero temperatures since three days. The winter comes late, but at least we have a little bit winter now. I was hiking a couple of times, I walked through forests, over fields and alongside the river, but yesterday I really had to abort my tour after two hours walking, because it was teeth-chattering cold. I like the fresh and clean air when it’s cold, but there is a change of thinking if you walk two hours outside at minus 10 degrees. Hot chocolate is the best drink after a winter … Continue reading Finally It’s Cold

Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle


The WordPress photo challenge from last friday came with the motto Circle, and I thought the flag of the European Union would fit to the challenge theme. The reason is obvious, the symbol of the flag is a circle of stars. The photo maybe fits a little bit too perfectly to the theme, and my entry appears less creative in my opinion, but I think I could use the image for other topics in the future and it’s great to have photos of flags uploaded to my blog. I like the idea of an association of states that warrants or … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

Walnut Cake


It’s time to add a photo post to the category delicious or to the food photography category again. I spotted a quite big bakery in Reinfeld, and I was surprised because we don’t have such a big bakery in the bigger city Lübeck. But the bakery was near the Autobahn, it’s a good place for them, and it explains why the shop is so big. They had all kind of cakes, but I decided to purchase a walnut cake. The cake was really delicious, and when I was done with it, I hated myself for the decision to only purchase … Continue reading Walnut Cake
