Visited and linked to many times before. This was a birdwatching walk with Volkshochschule. From that point of view, it was successful in that we saw quite a few different birds, but I did not manage to photograph any of them.

However, there are always things to discover and photograph at all times of the year, and in winter and early spring, when there are no leaves on the trees, it is easier to see not only birds but also how nature is taking over year by year.

This time, I spotted a building I had never noticed before and which I guess qualifies as what the Germans, for some strange reason, call a “Lost Place” – literally and officially – they don’t even translate that into German. I always wonder why. Those places are not lost. The rest of the world calls them “Abandoned Places”, which is what they are.
