Between dunes and dirt roads – Hamburg Chapter 2

Textures around the village – mud, river shore, sand dunes and jetty planks.

Number 105: Some things don’t translate well in photos:

The crunch of shells under one’s feet. The sting of sand against ankles as the wind whistles in one’s ears. How the river’s edge changes shape with the tides and how the dunes shift in the prevailing winds. The scorching midday heat as the air hangs thick with humidity.

Nonetheless, I’m hoping the photos below play some part in transporting you virtually to the dunes, dirt roads, waters and wildlife around our new home in Hamburg. Welcome and enjoy the tour!
