weekly glee #5 2009

well, it's time for a weekly glee post! very much time has flown by since the last so i think i should finally show you what i liked most the last few weeks.

1. GEDICHTE / GERMAN POEMS AND POETRY
this site is a very great one that i stumbled over while searching after some poems that i want to present on my mother's 50th birthday. i did not find a poem whatever, but this site is such a treasure! poems over poems from rilke to goethe to schiller and sachs. i will most likely find poems here when i search after fitting words for blog entries! or when i want to find poetry of some certain writer. love! ( still, it seems like i have to write my own birthday poem for mom ;O; i have no muses kissing my head recently... )

2. SHOELUST


recently i kinda turned into a shoe addict. i only have few pairs, but i loooove to look at pretty shoes! shoelust has a lot of crazy and beautiful shoes like the ones above, how can you walk in these?

3. lucy chadwick and duffy in london with special guest emma by the selby


the selby is a site about mostly... interiors. well known people show him their houses, flats, work places, shops. it's really interesting and sometimes you find very cute interiors or places! like the one of lucy chadwick and duffy! i love the light colours and the little details they have in their place!

4. Theater of Fashion by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia October 1998


stephen meisel is normally one of the photographers i don't really like, but this time two of his photography projects surprised me. theater of fashion is such a significant photoshoot with a story! most of the time it's all about clothes in many photoshoots, but in this one you don't really look at them. it's the faces and poses that strike me. great!

5. Eugenia Volodina, Gemma Ward, Hana Soukupova by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia September 2005


this is the next stephen meisel photoshoot that i loved. it's the graffitti styled surroundings and makeup that makes this photoshoot very strong and powerful.

6. Veronika Antsipava by Luis Sanchis


this photoshoot is one huge dedication to the sea. the mood of these pictures is so melancholic and at the same time it kind of makes oneself very happy in a calm way.

7. Valentine Fillol-Cordier by Melodie McDaniel for Elle June 2008


well, i'm not a huge pink/rosé lover but this photoshoot and some of the clothes are very nice to look at. i guess, it's the nature surroundings that caught my eye. and the shoes. oh lord, these shoes are fantastic.

8. at the salton sea


on abandoned places i find truly intriguing locations at times, like this one. the photographer, capthek has some great skills in capturing this place!

well, i'm going to have strawberry-cream dessert now, until next time!

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 ...

november: thuringian forest.

the day we visited the thuringian forest near luisenthal we would also receive the death notice of my cousin. while the day in luisenthal was pretty magic - i even found a goat skull to take home for my not so fast growing skull collection - the time we got home and received the phone call of my grandmother, everything went dull. we always had hoped for him to recover - over the course of his sickness there were multiple times we'd thought he was on his way up, but that also counted for the times it was clear that the cancer was severe and probably not defeatable. in the end he fought four years, but he couldn't conquer. his constant optimism & general good will wasn't enough as his body decided to give up on him. i'm still thinking a lot about him, he was such a good natured guy, always seeing the good in everything and everyone. it's so strange to know that he's never going to be on any future family party gathering again. we discussed so many things whe...
