Holy Saturday in Northern Germany people gather around big bonfires. The hills around my city are speckled with their light and the night smells like fire everywhere.

Gretescher Steine

My predecessors in this area liked to build funnel-necked beakers (3500 - 2800 B.C.) and gigantic tombs. This one is on a lift over the brook Belmer Bach, whose meander has likely destroyed part of the grave over time.
