May 2, 2025,🚲 abends zur Saidenbachtalsperre 🌤

After I'd gotten the garden in shape on the bridge day, I went for another nice walk in nature.

The light of the evening sun and the birdsong were beautiful.
😊
There were a few threatening clouds at the start, but they passed me by.
Only after I arrived back did a thunderstorm break out.

No big appointments on Friday, so after lunch I quickly go on my bike through the forest to the Saidenbachtalsperre.
😊
A joy in this beautiful weather!

Today I had a little more time and so I was able to do the nice lap around the dam.
I always enjoy driving a bit through the calm of the evening after work is done.
😊
... so beautiful!
