Beyond the Horizon

A little way beyond Cottbus, where civilization slowly retreats and nature takes over, lies a scene you wouldn't expect: dead trees rise like monuments from the lush green of the sewage fields. Some call this place "Dead Trees" – and that's quite apt.
What seems like a scene from an apocalyptic movie is actually an ecologically valuable habitat: former sewage areas that are now being renaturalized. The dead trunks and uprooted giants appear bizarre and fascinating at the same time – a quiet, powerful image of nature.
