Draparnaud's glass snail (Oxychilus draparnaudi) was originally native only to western and southwestern Europe, as far south as southwestern Germany. However, it has now spread throughout Central Europe. The snail originally lives in moist, sheltered locations in deciduous forests under fallen leaves and among rocks. In Central Europe, it is now found primarily in cultivated land, in gardens, parks, greenhouses, compost heaps, along roadsides, and at landfills for green waste. Draparnaud's glass snails are predators, primarily eating other, smaller snails, but also fresh and wilted plant parts. Its main prey is young specimens of the banded snail species (Cepaea) up to about 10 mm in size, and young slugs.

#Sunset in #EastFrisia.
#Ostfriesland #nature #cows #photography

A pasture in the foreground, a house surrounded by trees on the horizon. Behind the house, the sun has set. The sky is orange and yellow.

The same picture, but here the sun is still slightly above the house. It is a yellow ball in an orange sky.

Green meadows with black and white cows on them. The sky is orange, yellow and blue from the sunset. Wind turbines can be seen on the horizon.

Germany or somewhere in Scandinavia?

Have a lovely weekend - wherever you are! Our planet is such an awesome place.

Under a cloudless sky lies a deep blue, large lake surrounded by reeds. In the centre is a small island, overgrown with trees and reeds. It looks so peaceful.

In the foreground a sea of reeds, then dark blue water. Small buildings can be seen on the other shore of the large lake. The sky is bright blue.

Water and on the other bank colourful houses with boats in front of them.

At "Heimatmuseum" (local history #museum) in #Leer, #Ostfriesland, taking a look into East Frisia's past.
#EastFrisia #HistoryLessonWithBella #photography

Painted plates on a shelf. The first is colourful and shows a bird sitting on a blue bowl, surrounded by feathers and plants. The other plates are blue and white. Typically East Frisian.

An East Frisian parlour from the last century. There are lots and lots of blue and white tiles above the hob. In front of it, a small cot made of dark wood. To the right of the picture is a white and blue ‘cupboard’ containing a bed.

A wooden ship in a room with a wooden ceiling.

The ‘gute Stube’ (parlour) of a house with Biedermeier furniture, a grandfather clock and lengthwise striped wallpaper.

#WindowsFriday #Leer #Ostfriesland #EastFrisia

It's a sunny day. The view from the window, which is divided into several smaller panes, falls on the museum harbour of Leer. You can see ships, a bridge, residential buildings and a small car park with cars.

Hidden treasure.
#Leer #SchlossEvenburg #castle #Ostfriesland #EastFrisia #magnolia #BloomScrolling #florespondence #spring

Many, many magnolia blossoms in the foreground, with a light-coloured house behind them. And a cloudless sky. The sun is shining.

A magnolia. There is a hole in the trunk from which a spider's web leads to a neighbouring branch. There is also a beautiful pink and white magnolia blossom in the foreground.

Part of the flowering magnolia obscures the light-coloured house behind it. It is a castle with various towers and a moat around it. Cloudless sky.

Path over a dune with yellow grass, towards the sea. The sky and sea are of an intense blue. The sun is shining.

On the left is the sea, on the right a grassy path on which a person in an orange jacket is walking with their hands in their trouser pockets. Sunny, sunny, beautiful day. This makes me so happy!

Colourful East Frisia

#mural #Moin #EastFrisia #Ostfriesland #seagull #art #streetart

A large mural against a blue sky. You can see a crab, wind turbines, the sea and a seagull saying ‘Moin’ - the typical greeting here in the north.

The other part of the mural. You can see a person with a yellow jacket, a pipe in the corner of his mouth and binoculars in front of his eyes. He looks like a typical fisherman. Next to him is a cutter with a message in a bottle with wings flying above it. The sun is setting in the background.

A red brick tower in the light of the setting sun. Next to the tower is a house, and the sun peeks through between the two buildings as an orange tower. There are also bare trees in the picture.

I'm a big fan of small worlds

I took these photos at Miniaturland #Leer last week. There, the entire region of #EastFrisia (as well as Ammerland and the German capital Berlin) is displayed on a scale of 1:87. The exhibition area covers more than 1,500 square metres. Buttons can be pressed at various points to provide entertainment. For example, a cruise ship moves towards a harbour and fireworks go off, or photographers snap a group of cyclists taking part in a race. And yes, there are also some ‘naughty’ movements in the undergrowth.
The #Ostfriesland hall is illuminated in green, which makes this region look even more inviting

If you like, click through the pictures, explanations can be found in the alt text.
#miniature #MiniaturlandLeer

The miniature of a cutter on the open sea. On the right, the head of a shark protrudes from the ‘water’, surrounded by blood. A fisherman on the cutter is pointing a gun at the shark, which is threatening a man in the water, next to whom a blue rubber dinghy is floating. No, there are no such sharks here ;)

A lighthouse painted yellow and red. It is known from films featuring the German comedian Otto. That's why there are miniature people at the lighthouse, two of whom are holding up a sign saying ‘We heart Otto’.

Two miniature windmills side by side. In front of them, some people admiring the mills. They are the twin mills of Greetsiel. There is a lot of nature in the background.

A miniature church from the side. The church tower, which adjoins the nave on the right, leans heavily to one side. It is the leaning tower of Suurhusen.

At the end of a working day.
#harbour #fishing #cutter #photography #Ostfriesland #Ditzum #EastFrisia

A small harbour in the evening light. Several boats are anchored, their masts rising into the cloudless sky. They are fishing boats/cutters. The fairway is very narrow and is bordered in the background by poles protruding from the water. It is a peaceful sight.

Mit ~25 anderen Menschen habe ich eben dieses Schauspiel beobachten dürfen. Die Atmosphäre war friedlich und gelöst. Einfach nur Menschen, die die Schönheit des Augenblicks genießen. Danke, Mutter Natur, für dieses Geschenk!
