.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.

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
