Autumnal gloom on the North Sea coast.
I love the bright colours of autumn, but I also love the melancholy of cloudy autumn days

Just a few minutes earlier, I had seen this scene: an armada of clouds that seemed determined to conquer the field.

A vast, cloudy sky looms over the field. I am completely alone and feel overwhelmed. However, I also see two birds of prey circling in the sky.

Here's a black-and-white photo of the same place. I just can't resist clouds and reflections like these!

In the Lahn Valley. It was such a beautiful trip: the enchanting river valley, the lush green vegetation glowing in the sunshine, and the blue sky ...

And down in the enchanted river valley, there is a romantic scenery with a railway bridge.

I went on a wonderful bike ride alongside the River Lahn. Here is a view of Nassau Castle, the ancestral seat of the House of Nassau.

This is where I live, not far from the church. Weisenau used to be a small fishing village on the River Rhine, but it is now part of the city of #Mainz. While small fishing boats once sailed on the river here, today it is busy with container ships.

A thunderstorm was approaching, so I hurried back to the car. Had I stayed longer, I would have got soaked!

This was taken during a bicycle tour. It shows the village of Nierstein and the Rhine valley. This is a typical landscape in my home region of #Rheinhessen

I love old windows, especially those with closed shutters. They often have a wonderfully morbid quality, and I can't help but wonder what might be hidden behind them?
