— scroll down for English — Der Zürichsee ist ein Ort der Weite, der Spiegelungen und der stillen Bewegung. Bei diesem achtsamen Walk treffen wir uns am Seeufer – ein Raum zwischen Wasser, Beton, Holz und Erinnerung. Wir beobachten das Wasser. Wellen, Lichtreflexe, Strukturen unter der Oberfläche. Wir nehmen uns Zeit für Details: abgeblätterte Farbe, Spuren des Sommers, leere Stege, ruhende Treppen ins Nichts. Die Kombination aus natürlicher Dynamik und stiller Architektur eröffnet spannende Kontraste. **Warum teilnehmen?** Du schärfst deinen Blick für feine Veränderungen und minimale Bewegungen. Wasser wird zur Bühne für Licht und Zeit. Die verlassene Badi bietet grafische Linien, Texturen und Geschichten. Ein idealer Ort, um bewusst zu fotografieren oder kurze Sequenzen zu filmen – reduziert, klar, präsent. **Was dich erwartet:** * **Ankommen & ausrichten:** Mit einer kurzen Einstimmung starten wir in den Walk * **Wasser beobachten:** Spiegelungen, Transparenz und Rhythmus entdecken * **Raum erkunden:** Formen und Strukturen der Badi bewusst wahrnehmen * **Gemeinsamer Abschluss:** Austausch und Reflexion direkt am See Dieser Walk ist eine Einladung, Stille sichtbar zu machen – mit Kamera oder Smartphone. Es geht nicht um perfekte Bilder, sondern um Präsenz und Wahrnehmung. Ich freue mich auf dich. Daniel PS: Dieser Spaziergang ist kostenlos, eine [Donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) zur Deckung der Unkosten ist sehr willkommen. *** **English** Lake Zurich offers space, reflections, and quiet movement. On this mindful walk, we meet at a lakeside lido, a place between water, concrete, wood, and memory. We observe the water: waves, light reflections, subtle structures beneath the surface. We take time for details – peeling paint, traces of summer, empty docks, silent stairs leading into the lake. The contrast between natural movement and still architecture creates powerful visual moments. **Why join?** You refine your perception of subtle change and minimal motion. Water becomes a stage for light and time. The abandoned lido offers strong lines, textures, and stories. An inspiring setting for mindful photography or short video sequences – reduced, clear, present. **What to expect:** * **Arrival & intention:** A short introduction to focus your attention * **Observing water:** Discover reflections, transparency, and rhythm * **Exploring the space:** Experience shapes and structures with awareness * **Closing circle:** Reflection and exchange by the lake This walk invites you to make stillness visible – whether with a camera or smartphone. Looking forward to seeing you, Daniel PS: This walk is free, a [donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) to cover expenses is very much appreciated.
