Great news!

I just got accepted into the MFA Creative Writing graduate program I applied for.

Cool, foggy, misty. I’ve been told to expect a lot of this kind of weather in northern Germany during Fall and Winter. It was meant as a warning but I took it as a promise of a dreamy views like this surrounding me for a while.

I saw an elk eating the moon this morning. Cool, huh?

The moon goes down as the sun comes up - Asendorf, Germany.

You’ll probably see plenty of photos of the super moon today. What you won’t see much of is the view down the road from the farmhouse I’m staying in.

Could be worse.

YouTube video by Daniel D Baumer Good Morning, Asendorf

I took a walk through the village this morning.

The sky was extra big this morning - Asendorf, Germany.

Barry Gill thought the past was behind him. Sara Lund taught him otherwise.

I could write on and on about the difference between German and American cafes. You just gotta go and sit in them for a while and you’ll see and hear a whole mess of cultural differences.

Good morning from Asendorf, Germany.

I’ve just been scrolling the news. For the sake of my mental health, I’m gonna go back to posting pictures and videos that no one likes or sees. That seems a better use of my time.

With the help of Karl Reich and his 1933 recording of “Waldvögel and Nachtigall,” here’s what some of my Sunday morning looked like.

I wouldn’t call it a direct “attack,” but this little blonde cow did give me a very threatening moo and took a couple steps towards me. Needless to say, I was too busy saying “Awww” to be frightened.

The beauty of Autumn can also mean death and the end of a life cycle. The storms have brought down almost all of the gold, orange, yellow, and red leaves, placing them at my doorstep. Perhaps it’s a not-so-subtle reminder to me that a change is due for me, too.

Asendorf, Niedersachsen, Germany - What a glorious day … to stay inside.

Bremen, Germany - Old and new. Shiny and dark.

Bremen, Germany - The view from the corner cafe near the train tracks.

It’s not snowing or freezing yet … but that nasty weather is getting close. It’s nice to know an ample supply of neatly stacked firewood is close by.

This fest in Bremen, Germany is in its 990th year. That’s just wild!

We’re headed to the wicked weather season here in Niedersachsen. Today’s wasn’t horrible but it was leaning in that direction.

Pretty clouds, though, eh?

It was a lovely day, the kind of day one moves to Germany for.

Bremen, Germany - About 150 people, Americans and Germans, showed up for the No Kings gathering today to stand up against tyranny and authoritarianism.

It has been politely brought to my attention that I rarely have people in my photos from Germany. Well, here’s some of the 37,000 from the game in Bremen last night. That should make up for the lack of people in my other photos.

Them clouds, tho.

Just happened to look out my window as I was sitting at my desk here in Asendorf and was lucky enough to catch the fireworks.

The view of the Weser River from the Wilhelm Kaisen Bridge, smack dab in the middle of Bremen.

Could be worse.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
