weekly glee #14 2009.

it's getting colder every day and it's time to finally get out the cozy clothes, teabags and enjoy the warmth of the own home.
this week's list is much shorter than always.

1. desertions.

#whoopi goldberg appartement in new york - i think she definitely has a great interior sense :3 i love the wooden elements all around including the huge desk in the eating area.

2. photogenius.

it's claudia schiffer week here on mari's farm. it has been quiet around her, but here she is again, in two great photosets! she's still pretty beautiful.

1. vogue paris october 2009 by alasdair mclellan: i love the october feeling in these. so cozy!
2. harper's bazaar uk november 2009 by michelangelo di battista: it's halloween time and that means watching scary movies, reading thrilling stories and looking at this witty photoset! i love the style of a 50ies comic strip :D

other good shoots:

# zhang ziyi for harper's bazaar china october 2009 - it's fact that zhang ziyi is a classic chinese beauty. these photos are showing that all the way through.
# malgosia bela by tim walker for F/W october 2009 - you simply can't go wrong with tim walker.

3. architecture & design.

# the feast sideboard by sabina hill - well, actually it's not just the sideboard i'm liking but also all the other furniture pieces shown in this post! very simple yet so beautiful because of the aboriginal art elements.
# atherton residence by turnbull griffin haesloop architects - a life in this house would be awesome! all the nature around it, the awesome views out of the house and the light coming into it is amazing!

4. diversity.

yum, juice caviar parfaits by luxirare!
i can't describe how excited i get, when luxirare posts another food post on her awesome blog!
the juicy caviar idea is just making me speechless. it must be a pleasure to bite on these and feel the juice watering your mouth.

i love this little comic by abstruse goose.

5. video time.

nick cave . to be by your side
i love this video. so calming. especially with nick's melancholic voice.

cat man! 20ies style! awfully confusing! but still, pretty great to watch and move along to. and smile over the little jokes made here.

the trailer for coco avant chanel with audrey tautou. i'd LOVE to see this movie!

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 ...

ghost of nature.
