Das schwarze Haus
Von der Straße aus, kann man durch das Haus durchgucken. Das Ferienhaus von Johanna Michel und Dirk Preuß steht in Pinnow im Landkreis Uckermark. Das Haus steht auf einem großen Grundstück mit Gartenstück und ist Richtung Straße, nach vorne und Richtung Feld, nach hinten raus verglast. Man kann von der Straße durch das Haus in die Landschaft gucken. Wenn die Fenster offen sind, zieht der Wind durch das ganze Haus. Aufgenommen am 22.06.2013 in Pinnow im Landkreis Uckermark.
