Weather in the afternoon was mixed.
So perfect for a trip along the cliffs around KapArkona.
After a long time I also visited my painter friend Jan Spieß in his studio in Putgarten.

Now it's over, the autumn week at Cape Arkona. She was eventful and sun-kissed. Saying goodbye is difficult because it seems to be a long time before next summer. But the next thing a girl from the Ore Mountains looks forward to after the autumn vacation is the Advent season in Christmasland🎄🕯🎅
