20.06.2025: Arrived in Rostock shortly after 14:00. I knew beforehand that I would have roughly four hours to kill, so I brought the singlespeed "MTB".

The infamous Hotel Neptun
There is no English entry on Wikipedia but if you're interested you can use something like Google Translate to read the German one:

That moth looks great but posting such high resolution pictures of your fingertips on the Internet may not be a good idea.

...

I honestly don't know what I'm looking at. My first thought was: That's one odd looking trainstation.
Nice picture, though.

First time on the Great Wall in over five years, #feelsgoodman. This section is notable for being particularly steep:

These are the mountains far north of Beijing city, and were the city's natural defense barrier before the Great Wall was constructed. I've always felt they were majestic:

Spoiler:

This thing doesn't even look real, does it? Look at its wings, as if there's writing on them. As if it's a bio-mechanical being:

Climbed another mountain, some Daoist sculptures were carved into a cliff:

I was hoping to see a snake, but seeing these were fine as well:

We were out camping on a farm. Which is something we always do the first week of the summer holidays.
The kids love it, they can hang around and do whatever. we don’t have to be scared they drown in a pool or get run over by a car and read an actual book.
Anyways we had our tent pretty close to the cow stables and the loft was filled with swallows. Who would basically fly in and out all day whilst racing around you.
Tried to make a picture of them but it is really difficult seeing how fast they are,this is the best one:
