Not much to say about the photo apart from the fact that it’s a Schleswig-Holstein flag. Schleswig-Holstein is a German state, and the place where I live. Sometimes I like to take photos of flags, it’s a bit like collecting these sorts of photos, but also because the flag photos could be useful if I want to write articles about certain places or news. I didn’t upload a lot of flag photos yet, but there are some. Continue reading Schleswig-Holstein Flag
Above you can see a small harbour in Niendorf near Timmendorfer Strand at the Baltic Sea. I would almost say that the harbour is cute, because it’s a very little harbour. I don’t like to eat fish, but for anyone else this is probably a good place to get fresh fish. Not only did they sell them in small stalls around the harbour, I also saw a fishing boat that just came in and they had freshly caught fish on board. I liked to roam around the harbour because of the typical baltic flair. You can find more pictures from … Continue reading Niendorf Harbour
Here is a photo that I shot somewhere during my hikes. As you can see, I was walking through the nature but there are some signs of technology, like the Autobahn with the truck, the fields or the wind power wheels in the picture. But what I really find interesting about this picture is that it almost looks like a Diorama Illusion or miniature faked image. If you take a look at the truck on the Autobahn, it does somehow look like a toy. I think that illusion comes from the fact that I was focussing at the Autobahn of … Continue reading Almost A Diorama Illusion
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
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
Today I was outside again, and I took the paths through the small forests, around the ponds, and over fields. Close to a farm (not the one in the photo) near a small forest, I watched over the fields and into the sky, because I was looking for bird of prey, and then a farmer greeted me and asked if I would look for birds. The farmer was very old and friendly, and I told him that I was looking for bird of prey, and he replied that this area is perfect if I want to find them, and he … Continue reading Talking With A Farmer
