Yesterday, I had the feeling I needed to do just another bike ride this year. It was just a bit over zero degrees outside and quite foggy, but thinking I have warm clothes, I tried it anyway. The clothes also kept me warm, but what I underestimated was how cold my feet would get, as I used the same shoes and socks as I use when it’s 30 degrees outside. With cold feet and also a bit of cold hands at the end (even though I had warm gloves, apparently not warm enough), the last 10 kilometers were quite exhausting, but I’m glad I did it. Next time, I should only go if it’s a bit warmer, or I need to buy warmer socks or shoes.

A visit to the wildlife park 🦌

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

The last vacation made me want a better camera than the one in my phone. Especially one with a telephoto lens, so I could take pictures of animals from a safe distance. Today we were at a wildlife park and I was able to take some portraits of some residents with the camera I bought. Here are my favorites, all unedited.

For no apparent reason, I wasn’t in the best mood for the last few days, but today I planned to do a bike ride, and it paid off, as it often does. Riding while the sun is already setting is nice.

This bench doesn’t make any sense. Or does it?

There’s no way to deny it’s already autumn, even though it’s still 20 degrees.

Evening bike tour to Wolfenbüttel

When I’m on my bike and do a little evening tour, I often follow the same routes. Some variations here and there, but not too many. On Friday, I did more of a detour from my usual paths. I went along a beautiful lake in Braunschweig towards Wolfenbüttel and then through a little forest next to where I studied. After that, I went back home using the way I regularly rode with my pedelec going back from university.

A weekend in Bad Segeberg

I was in Bad Segeberg over the weekend to visit my grandmother, who lives with dementia. Interacting with her is always so demanding, as she constantly repeats how lonely she is and tells hurting stories about my grandfather’s and my father’s deaths.

Whether I stroll through the park, cycle through the countryside, or simply take a short break on a bench outdoors, the sight of the green nature has an incredibly calming effect on me. My mood improves instantly. And the best part: all those options aren’t far away. 📷🌳

📍 Lauingen, Lower Saxony, Germany

I usually do my bike tours after work or on the weekend during the day. Yesterday, I did it in the evening. It was very nice, and some views (sadly, the camera on my bike phone isn’t that great) felt quite epic. I also managed to drink enough carbohydrates to not feel weak, but unfortunately it made me sleep badly afterward.
