On my way south from Cologne to the Black Forest I visited this Heide landscape. I arrived there after I couldn’t stand at the parking place I choose because of a driven hunt.
Even though this landscape is far from the vastness of South Africa, it reminded me about it. Maybe because of the clouds and their colors.
After Christmas I went to a very special holidays to the Teutoburg Forest and Sauerland with a very special friend and we had much fun visiting friends, special sites, nature and cooking outside.
We found some weird footprints in the forests and even weirder holes or something like that in some rocks. Interesting… 🤔
The big rocks made me curious about how rocks and mountain are formed etc. There are some pretty interesting and good videos on the YouTube channel of CrashCourse about these topics.
In December 2021, when I started my journey to the south, which probably won’t take me to my hometown Hamburg or Germany in the next years, I visited my favorite Südheide parking place and took these photos.
Especially the first one, I like a lot because it’s split and both sides of it look beautiful in their own way. Yin and Yang etc. You know? 😁
I felt quite weird leaving the north and knowing, that I won’t come back anytime soon. For me this was very different than the “half nomadic life” I did until then in which I always came back to Hamburg after a few weeks.
From this moment in the Südheide on I’m just going somewhere.
