After we met up with our daughter, her boyfriend and his parents for lunch at El Greco in Gehlenbeck, we went for a short walk in the moor. The others hadn't seen it yet and we had a lovely afternoon in the fresh air. Afterwards we had coffee and cake.
We only spotted the crane with the help of binoculars; …

At P3, where I started, there was a camper from Aurich. The couple had just finished their morning toilet.

A little further on at the north tower there were two men with photo equipment etc. who had obviously spent the night in the north tower. Their sleeping bags and other things were still there. Perhaps the car with the Heidelberg …

I have been to Großer Torfmoor several times and it is always beautiful there. I especially like the backdrop of the Wiehengebirge and the stark contrast between the lowlands and the mountains.

This morning I finally went for a walk in the moor again. Some of the leaves had already changed color. The sky looked very interesting at times as a few rays of sunshine peeked in.
I'm not very good at walking anymore, but the walk was worth it. Now I'm looking forward to lunch.
