Right now, the weather is dreary and grey, with rain and wind - no longer winter, but not yet spring. So I looked for some nice summer photos to cheer myself and my readers up.
The German Central Uplands (Mittelgebirge) are a beautiful place to live, as the above vista shows. We got plenty of such views, a mix of mountains and valleys, forests and fields.
Sometimes those mountains show interesting geological features, like the gypsum cliffs in the Harz.
Rivers are especially lovely on a sunny summer morning. Above is the Weser near Bursfelde.
The old forest near the Sababurg at the Weser is a former wood pasture that has been allowed to regrow naturally. One can almost see Hobbits walking there.
Another water photo, the Bruchteiche near Bad Sooden-Allendorf, a fomer reservoir for drinking water.
The last one is not a summer photo but a recent one, but I wanted to share that wonderful, dramatic sunset.
Schöne Sommererinnerungen :-) Die machen bei dem miesen Wetter momentan wenigstens gute Laune und Vorfreude auf den nächsten Sommer kommt auch auf. In meinem Garten schaut schon ein wenig der Frühling aus der Erde *freu* - sozusagen der Beginn des nächsten Sommers ;-)
ReplyDeleteBei uns sind die Winterlinge jetzt auch da, und die Schneeglöckchen stecken zumindest schon mal ein paar neugierige Spitzen raus.
