The Beach From Another Planet
Beaches have their own special properties, unique characteristics. Visiting
St. Peter Ording on the North Sea Coast Germany, a visitor would be hard
pressed to miss what makes this wide coastal landscape distinctive, the feeling
of landing on another planet. In a few moments the weather changes from bright
sun to grey overcast.The sounds of water coming in, the wind pitch in the ear,
Frank Hubert could have been inspired to write a wet version of his sci-fi
classic Dune after visiting Ording. There is an almost unnatural feeling on this part of the world.
In late August, I saw few sun bathers, rather beach trollers taking
advantage of the low tide, reflecting on nature allows us mere mortals to use for a moment.

Usedom is a two-hour and thirty minute drive from Berlin.
