.weekly glee #4 2009.

madame yevonde was the first female photographer who experimented with colour photography! and in what kind of style! her pictures could also have been shot in recent times! i love this site a lot!

2. colette calascione art

colette calascione is an artist who combines baroque art with modern aspects like the alien picture above shows! i'm not fond of aliens at all but this piece of art is so ingenious that you just have to love it! also, who in the world still uses baroque art technics? that's something no one really does anymore. and that's why this woman gets huge respect from me :D

3. technicolor by paolo roversi.

the blurryness of these pictures and the sad look on devon aoki's face just makes a wonderful composition to me. although devon aoki almost always looks the same :P

4. abandoned amusement park in japan.

the translation in this post is horrid, but it's babelfish.com, haha. but the pictures show an incredible abandoned place - an amusement park in japan.

+ abandoned futuristic village in thailand.

really, at the closer view on these i really wish i could live in one of those strange buildings. it's so sad that something like this gets abandoned.

5. danielle ate the sandwich.

this wonderful singer song-writer totally got my heart! her voice, the lyrics and the personality she shows in her videos has made me fall in love with her music ( especially the ukulele!!! ). i recommend to give her a listen.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems. our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...
