Back to the Woods

Well, after our difficult final exams, we had originally planned to make this album about an excursion to Bremen. That did not happen. So instead, here are our short but fun shenangians for today's light enjoyment.

 First we started up the steps where Gus decided to do some impromptu 'model posing' hahaha

After that, we came upon this monument in front of us, so I snapped a quick picture of it.

 

Afterwards, however, I got more curious and learned (for a bit of mcgyvered wikipedia-ing) that we were in fact standing on the Kalkberg, a salt glacier from which of Lüneburg's salt was derived. This monument in fact was in reference to a castle that had sat on the hill in 1371, and after the War of Succession, was destroyed along with a monastary. This area is one of Germany's first nature reserves. Cool!

So carrying on, we decided to have a viewing of the entire area from on top of the Kalkberg.

 

And then we goofed off. Slightly.

 

So there was also a cannon. And then Zach and Gus sat on it.

 

And then we decided to have a look from the bars.

Here we go:

 

Here was a really pretty flower on the other side of the fence

 

A view of the bog/swamp area

 

And then the Americans haha

 

And that was our fun for the weekend :)
