Weekly Photo Challenge: Local

Dennis

This week, the WordPress Photo Challenge asks us what “local” means to us. I find the theme for the challenge easy but interesting. I associate the word “local” with Lübeck, the town where I was born, the town I am grown up and the town where I still live after so many years. I do even associate the word with Schleswig-Holstein, the federal state where I live, but I thought the challenge would give me a reason to share a photo from Lübeck, even if you can already find many photos of this city on my blog. It’s definitely not … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Local

Riesebusch Nature

Dennis

Today I took my camera and decided to hike in Bad Schwartau, a town 5 km north or northwest of Lübeck. There is a forest called Riesebusch and I wanted to hike there to take some new photos. Today I didn’t take a look at the weather report and it became quite windy and cloudy when I arrived. It was not the perfect weather to go hiking and to take photos. I had luck and it didn’t rain too early, but I was caught by the rain 10 minutes before I arrived at home and had to change clothes. I … Continue reading Riesebusch Nature

Reinfeld Landscape

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot in May when I still was in Reinfeld. The photo should show how beautiful the landscape is there. The photo should also explain why I loved my hikes there. It’s very common to hear that people from Lübeck say that there is nothing to see in Reinfeld. The town is so small that there is indeed not much to see, but that is only true if you don’t get out of your comfort zone. This place is an absolute insider tip, the town is not too special but everything around it is. You … Continue reading Reinfeld Landscape

Somewhere In Reinfeld

Dennis

Here is a photo I have taken somewhere outside of Reinfeld, and you can even see the town in the background. I’d say the place is very beautiful, but I am actually not that sure anymore if I ever want to visit the place again if the worst case occurs, now that my uncle’s diagnosis changed. I try not to think too much about the future, but it’s not easy to put these thoughts aside. I am really not sure if I will connect this place with bad or good feelings in the future, I am really not sure. My … Continue reading Somewhere In Reinfeld

A Chat With Another Photographer During The Hike

Dennis

Here is yet again a hiking path photo. I shot the photo today and I met another photographer on this path and we had a long talk about photography. He had a big dog, and I also saw that he had DSLR camera on the shoulder and I asked him if he has seen roe deer in the direction he came from, and he replied “No, not yet, but today I just went into the forest to take portraits of my dog”, and that’s how our conversation started. Often when I meet other photographers, it can happen that we get … Continue reading A Chat With Another Photographer During The Hike

Happy Places

Dennis

The recent WordPress Photo Challenge comes with the theme “Happy Place”. I do not think that there is just one single place where I feel relaxed or happy, I know several happy places. My home acts as a safe haven where I can relax, where I can get creative, where I can mute problems, where I can feel happy most of the time. The same counts for the homes of family members, or the homes of close friends. But there is more than just that. I know happy zones outside as well, I do for example enjoy to hike, and … Continue reading Happy Places
