worpswede, germany: part one

last saturday, dani, wolfgang, cajus, oma + opa, and myself took a day trip to worpswede.

a small artists colony north of bremen.

we left the house a little before nine by bike and jumped on a train, with the said bikes.

we arrived in a small village, not worpswede, and cycled to our destination.

the day started out pretty chilly and overcast, we were worried about rain. but if you know me, you know i firmly believe in frolicking in the water, so i was cool with it.

when we finally arrived, we were greeted by a little bit of sun, bunting hanging from the trees, and pretty art and architecture.

we started at the mini farmer's market and art show.

[kunst schau in deutsch] 

i love the art display on hemp, held together with clothespins and branches.

we ventured through the woods to a gallery.

i'm so afraid to take photographs inside art galleries-totally wimpy, i know-i'll get better at it...but i don't have any from the exhibit, which was very cool.

anyway, i took some fun photos outside.

such an adorable family.

 the courtyard in front of the gallery housed these life size ceramic statues that were fun to play and pose with.

cajus loved it:

 haha. i laugh at myself all the time. that's okay, right?

the exterior area of the gallery:

some random shots:

gotta love the barney stinson graffiti. 

the scenery was truly lovely, this was towards the end of our day, which i'll post tomorrow, but i had to post these gorgeous sky and landscape photos:

++++++++++++++++++++

it's when you're sitting on the train exhausted on your way home, when you look up from the ipod and see things like this, that you know that life is sweet. and if you look up at the right moment, everything is okay and how it should be.

gute nacht, lovelies.

wherever you are on this pretty planet.

xo, hay
