I just can't get enough of the beautiful moon!
So far away and yet it feels very close.
I set off late, in great peace and quiet through the evening into the falling darkness, while the moon rose.

I bent my rear wheel so much that I had to unhook the brake to be able to roll slowly home.

🙂
After a long time, I did my favorite route again, past the plague column and back through the forest in complete peace and quiet.
