weekly glee # 16 2009 : post-halloween edition .

halloween is over, but the glamour of it never really fades. this is why there's still so much spooky and creepy stuff in this post.

1. desertions.

police motorcycle / cuteness on the rocks.

# 1940ies house by the river by themushroomtea - very creepy little house with cat skeleton, mummified rat, lost shoes and a loooot of dark corners.
# '...and all the pieces matter' by thehoodwatch - pictures from the abandoned set of HBO's 'the wire' in columbia, md. apparently, 'the wire' was a tv series and the settings of it are now abandoned. lovely! you'd never see a real police department abandoned, i s'ppose. see also: halloween houses.
# abandoned estate of the bibi family in grebnevo by new_karfagen - lion heads, yawning cats ( beware! cute! ), puppets in windows. this estate has a lot of little surprises waiting for you :D
# up on sale are those two estates: kimora lee simmons' luxurious villa with own cinema and sport studio & dylan mcdermott's home with the best old doors ever.

2. photogenius.

psycho house / bird fears

# the brothers grimm by matthew brooks for t magazine - oooh, guys with style! i love the tailored coats and everything.
# grazia by antonio redaelli - cozy clothes and the rifled hair + marble skin = <3
# the birds by peter lindberg 2006 - a photoshoot based on the alfred hitchcock movie 'the birds'. very eerie and gorgeous at the same time. see also: peter lindberg made another set for the movie psycho!

3. architecture & design.

# cartesia drawers by nosigner - this drawer is totally crazy and versatile! it opens up in different directions and has a lot of storing room.

4. diversity.

the creepiest places on earth

so cool!

5. video 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...

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...
