Yesterday evening I had the spontaneous idea for a little exploration tour in the area. These then led me here, to the Zschorna pond area, a nature reserve near the town of Thiendorf.

Even though I didn't have much time to explore the entire area, I saw that there seems to be some potential for nice photos. Because there are probably 32 larger and smaller ponds here in total, which I will definitely take a closer look at in the future (well, maybe not all of them).

I dared to get a little closer to one of them, always expecting to get my feet wet in the mud on the bank (which luckily didn't happen after all).

On the mud overgrown by algae (which looks very exciting in itself) I then found this small willow, which has actually grown there and has also put out leaves. A branch was probably torn off a tree on the shore, which then washed up here and formed roots. It's exciting to see which ways nature sometimes finds to develop further.

The sunset in the background, because I was actually here, very quickly becomes less interesting.

 

Gestern Abend hatte ich die spontane Idee für eine kleine Erkundungstour in der Umgebung. Diese führte mich dann hier her, in das Zschornaer Teichgebiet, einem Naturschutzgebiet in der Nähe der Stadt Thiendorf.

Auch wenn ich nicht viel Zeit hatte um die Gegend genauer zu erkunden habe ich doch gesehen, dass hier wohl einiges an Potential für schöne Fotos zu sein scheint. Denn insgesamt gibt es hier wohl 32 größere und kleiner Teiche, die ich mir mit Sicherheit in der Zukunft näher anschauen werde (naja, vielleicht nicht alle).

An einen von Ihnen habe ich mich etwas näher heran gewagt, immer damit rechnend mir im Uferschlamm nasse Füße zu holen (was dann glücklicherweise doch nicht passiert ist).

Auf dem von Algen überwuchterem Schlamm (der an sich schon sehr spannend aussieht) habe ich dann diese kleine Weide gefunden, die dort tatsächlich angewachsen ist und auch Blätter ausgetrieben hat. Wahrscheinlich wurde von einem Baum am Ufer ein Ast abgerissen, der dann hier angespült wurde und Wurzeln gebildet hat. Es ist schon spannend, welche Wege die Natur manchmal findet um sich weiter zu entwickeln.

Da wird der Sonnenuntergang im Hintergrund, wegen dem ich eigentlich hier war, sehr schnell zur Nebensächlichkeit.

Munster Mill Pond

 

There is Münster and Munster, this is the town of Munster without the umlauts, which did somewhat confuse me when I came to set the sat nav.

 

The River Örtze flows through the mill pond, but before reaching the pond the river flows by the Munster Nord military training area.

 

The silting up of the Örtze and also the mill pond has caused problems for a long time. Since 1893 sewage from the troop camp was channeled virtually uncleaned into the Örtze, until the appropriate treatment plants were set up in later years.

 

This resulted in the Örtze and the Mühlenteich suffering badly from the pollution. The fish gradually died out and the sediment silted up the pond.

 

By 1955 the mill pond was completely blocked, overgrown with reeds and no longer visible as a pond. The Örtze was by now only a small trickle.

 

In the years between 1965 and 1967, the pond was cleared and the bank areas were designed to look natural.

 

Today the mill pond is located in a park-like area.

 

The following fish species are native to the pond-

 

Eel, brown trout, perch, gudgeon, bullhead, carp, pike, tench, white fish, catfish

 

The Mühlenteich Munster fishing club is allowed to hold events here four times a year.

Perhaps the most photographed tree in New Zealand, "The Wanaka Willow" stands quietly silhouetted against the evening sky that has only a touch of color from the setting sun's last rays on a small cloud formation over the mountains in the far distance.

Door, windows and nature! Multiple images layers , warped, and more.

Can you see it, its very faint and goes straight up just to the right of the bow that comes down into the tree. This was taken in the same general location and same day as the shot I took on May 8th, but it was taken further back away from the Lake and was taken while the rainbow was at its brightest. I noticed the third bow while editing, and I was using a combination of the healing brush and cloning stamp to get rid of some distracting man made objects from the image, like telephone pole & lines & Guard rails as there is a road in between the cat-tails of the marsh and the Lake. At first when I noticed the 3rd Bow I thought I must have done something in my editing for it to be there and was going to fix it. But when I looked at my original photo it was there too.... hmmmm.... then I thought my camera could have done something funky to cause it.... Nope.... Turns out this sort of thing happens from time to time. It is a rarity. I had no idea!

Think she wants some attention?
