.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...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere. rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
