| Watching the sun rise from the hotel room |
After breakfast (at 8 a.m.) we headed out to visit Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's largest national park, the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, consisting of marshland, lagoons, with a very unique coastal vegetation and diverse wildlife, and went on a long walk.
While strolling along the beach and over the boardwalks we had the opportunity to watch birds, deer and we also spotted a fox. It was a lovely day spent in fresh air. The wind and the salty air helped clearing our minds. Life can be very good at times.

Fish & Chips, a proper reward for a day's walk on the beach.

I love the beach photos! I miss the smell of salt water in land-locked Fairbanks...
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Richard. That's why I need a fix sometimes.
Deletenow I'm homesick! thank you ... What a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeletewonderful photos and I love the coast with stormy weather; it is such a different atmosphere. we often did vacations during late fall and winter at the Baltic Sea or North Sea.
In a weird way I am glad, that I can make you homesick just the same, Yvonne ;-)
DeleteThe National Park was awesome, and just what I needed. And bonus, we really got lucky with the autumn weather.
I was born pretty close to Greifswald, so this area you'be been is a little piece of my personal history and I have some nice memories. Thanks for that, really :-).
DeleteWhat a wonderful relaxing time.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little chilly on the beach but that makes for great lighting for the pics.
Actually it wasn't too bad, Brandy, still 18C, and the water hadn't been as cold as the Pacific.
DeleteBeautiful trip, beautiful pics, you are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteHi Bianka, we were very fortunate to make that trip. This corner of the former GDR is really quite nice.
