folklore 009.
that's a 3-day-festival in wiesbaden which started in the gardens of castle freudenberg many years ago and moved to the 'alte schlachthof' near the train main station of wiesbaden. it's a festival for music all underground, indie and alternative ( or whatever you'd like to call it :P ). and all in all GOOD music.
i just saw 3 acts this year, since of work, but those were particularly good! the bands were 'fettes brot', first aid kit and kitty daisy & lewis.

i made very few pictures, and not of all the bands ( first aid kit missing out, boo! ).

trash containers.
these trash containers were the cutest :3

parcel project.
there was this parcel project going on, where you could take a box and design and paint it for having it then put to a wooden pyramid. i liked this!

the bands.

fettes brot.
fettes brot.
fettes brot are a fairly well known hip hop band already existing since the 90ies. i remember my brother always listening to them and being a huge fan. i also remember that this would be the only hip hop band i really liked ( maybe except of the 'beginner' ( including jan delay )). they played a lot of songs and the crowds went NUTS! i haven't seen so many stomping feet since the genesis live concert a few years ago. and the earth was shaking real hard, haha. i loved that they played a lot of old songs ( nordisch by nature, schwule mädchen and da draußen ). i called my brother so he could listen to that and he almost freaked out, haha. i really would've liked him to be here and watch this, since he rarely has this kind of fun at home in thuringia.





kitty daisy & lewis.
kitty daisy & lewis.
these three kids were the hottest act for me. playing the whole rock'n'roll music range with so much talent and knowledge about the instruments was truly exciting to see and to hear! watch out for them, they maybe take over the world, haha :D they made the feeling of the 50ies/60ies come alive! i loved the crowd here, they were mostly dressed up in vintage clothes and oh, how well-dressed they were!





first aid kit.





those two girls from sweden make the most wonderful folk music! if you like joan baez' music this will be the perfect music for you. i heard that critics and press started having tears in their eyes, when they listened to them at the eurosonic festival in sweden! which must mean something, who's crying about music in modern times actually? well in the public anyway, haha? i gave them a try and they're really good, having played a lot of old songs from the late 60ies ( joan baez, johnny cash etc. ) and a lot of their own compositions. but they were maybe a little bit too melancholic for me that day, i was feeling a bit strange after the concert. nontheless, these girls are very good for the upcoming fall season, when days start to get colder and the leaves turn to a golden sea!

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...
