Sunset Rainbow
This dramatic weather situation prompted me to make a short stop at Penkefitzer Polder, on the Tauben Elbe. Where ornithologists usually lie in wait, this beautiful rainbow could be observed shortly before sunset. On the right, the dyke and the old pumping station; on the left, the small lake or the part of the polder that is usually under water all year round.

Elbe Panorama: Sunset with X-Cloud Reflections
For once, we didn’t cross the Dömitzer Bridge, but crossed the Elbe in the shadow of the Höhbeck with the Pevestorf-Lenzen ferry. And sometimes such spontaneous detours or alternative routes are a really good idea – for example, when you are then rewarded with such a great panoramic view of the setting sun and the clouds reflected in the Elbe. And with a little imagination, you can make out an “X” on the right of the picture – which of course also somehow fits if you are on your way to the Wendland.

Moomin figure at Moomin Shop at Airport Helsinki-Vantaa
Of course, there is a Moomin shop at Airport Helsinki-Vantaa. And at least for us, a visit to the Moomin store is a must. Each time we’re at Vantaa Airport we just have to check if there’s a Moomin cup or a bag is on sale, which is missing in the collection.
