Gagala News
(G-log #3)

Last Thursday the battery of my car was empty, so I was late at the supermarket and I forgot my cooler, I couldn't buy dairy or frozen food, then I went to a place I hadn't been before, but there were too many tourists and the area is too big for me to walk, I didn't get far enough. When I finally get a pedelec, I will go back. The area is called Schanze Forest Reserve and is a protected area, you are not even allowed to pick berries there, too bad that nobody controls such things. But if you choose the right path, you can still find peaceful and quiet places (except for the jet planes above). I only took a few pictures, you can see them at GAGALAND in 4k for free.

Last Thursday I was able to take some new pictures. If you are interested in landscape and nature photography, welcome to GAGALAND, 4k shots for free.

Right after shopping at the supermarket and having a cup of coffee at the bakery, I drove to this beautiful place. It's on the other side of the mountain, where I was two weeks ago, but this time it was hot as hell, summer has arrived. The sky was dull (which means nearly no clouds, which is boring for me), the wonderful fluffy clouds came too late, see the last picture at GAGALAND (shot after I was back in my apartment, totally exhausted).

1,5 km (1 mile) is the short distance I walked last Friday on the photo tour to the furthest point, the same place as last time. I was hoping for better weather conditions, but it was too foggy for landscape shots, so I made another study of trees in snow again. I have to admit that I'm obsessed with snow, I have to take every chance to shoot it, especially now that it's getting rarer and rarer. Since the last photo session on December 2nd, the snow had completely disappeared and came back a week ago, but due to my tight money situation, I only allow myself to use the car once a week (the place is too far to walk to), so I drove to the supermarket and then to a forest not far from the town of Winterberg. The parking lot hadn't been cleared of snow and my all-season tires didn't make it to the edge where I was supposed to be, so I parked my car in the middle of the lot. This time I had spikes on my rubber boots, but that was not necessary, the forest path was naturally covered with snow, lots of it. But my food intolerance attacked me again, I hadn't eaten enough, so my blood pressure dropped, and with no bench in sight, I lay down in the snow, my loden coat and lama wool hat keeping me warm. After 5 minutes I felt better. Next time I will eat something before doing another photo tour. Now it's Sunday and the frost is over, it will start to rain tonight. I hope Mr. Winter will come back, I still have some snowy landscapes to photograph. If you want to know where these photos were taken, most of them have GPS data in the metadata. With a program like XnView you can see it with one click.

Thanks to all my supporters for their support.

Take always good care of yourself and stay healthy!
