Der See, umgeben von Hügeln und Bergen, einige davon bewaldet in ersten Herbstfarben, liegt nun in der Morgendämmerung ganz still und spiegelglatt vor mir. Gestern noch da war er voll aufgebrachter Wellen, darüber stürmischen Wolken und seine Ufer leuchteten auf im letzten Abendlicht das nur für einen Moment durch eine Wolkenlücke brach. Ich erkenne ihn kaum wieder, meinen See; und bin jetzt von ebensolcher Ruhe, hin und weg von diesem neuen, mir bis dato unbekannten Gesicht. Während der Tag und die Farben langsam zum Leben erwachen, das bisherige Blaugrau weicht, ahne ich, ja begreife ich wie ungemein schön Natur ganz ohne den Menschen wäre und nun einmal, abgesehen meiner eigenen Anwesenheit als stiller Betrachter, ist. Ist es so abwegig zu denken, dass wir gar nicht hierhergehören? [2019/10/13]
I'd discovered this location by surprise back in 2017. This autumn I revisited, and stayed there a few days just to be there, and to get the perfect photograph I had in mind. People came by there only occasionally, and never stayed longer than thirty minutes at most. Thus, a perfect place to be. When I walked down to the lakeshore the first day I discovered that a lot of the plants were covered with fibers of plastic. Shortly afterwards I've found a big pillow someone had thrown into the water. The water had absorbed it, and scattered its inside irreversible around the shore. This made me mad es hell. It took me a few hours to pick up as much as I can and as good as I can. I cleaned up the shore along about 50 meters, and collected a lot of other waste around as well.
Here's a snapshot of the litter people throw into such a wonderful area: fav.me/ddlndmd Probably the samle people posing later for there IG portraits in front of mountains, or the sea.
Isn't this really sick? People talking about the marine pollution but some are even to dumb to keep the lakes within their own country clean. How beautiful would this earth be without humankind?
