weekly glee # 18 2009.

i'm sorry, that i only post the weekly glees lately.
i don't have a lot of time for anything different, really. work is stressing me out to the max and i just want to lay down afterwards and hibernate until next year.
november is truly the most unattractive month existing. well except of falling leafs, hot chocolate, cake and cookie baking and cuddling under bedcovers.

1. desertions.

castle in russia /fortress cellar in kaliningrad ( königsberg )

# spanish farmhouse by battlingbeauty - spain has the most wonderful landscapes and i'm always in awe how people built there houses on the strangest and barren undergrounds. this farmhouse is no exception!
# a fortress in kaliningrad by tbsf - i love brickworks! this fortress must be an amazing labyrinth.
# old changi hospital in singapore by berryplum - this place gives me the creeps. it's so well photographed! i'm expecting to see a ghost suddenly showing up in the corners...
# an assortment of various cute and old houses photographed by alexdoomer2009 - a-dor-able! especially the yellow painted palais! reminds me of my one and only love: the city weimar in thuringia, germany.
+ see also: abandoned house. ( old shoes left, a wonderfully painted kid's room )
# 'just don't call it wolf's lair' on luxist.com - a manor up for sale. and woah the interiors are amazing! who would not want to live in such tasteful glory?
# matinecock manor on auction - what a luxurious building. makes the jaw drop!

2. photogenius.

hänsel & gretel / poodle love

# collection 'masha kravtsova' spring/summer '10 - this collection is so divine! the dresses would make the most perfect wedding dresses! ( as if i'd ever plan a wedding... )
# mariacarla boscono by peter lindbergh for harper's bazaar us december '09 - circus styled, slightly eerie but simply amazing photoshoot. mariacarla boscono slowly crawls up to the top of my most liked faces in the fashion industries!
+ see also: that lady in dress for vogue china . black and white unsharpened photos with a very melancholic feel to them.
# lily cole, lady gaga & andrew garfield by annie leibovitz for vogue us - annie leibovitz has the most amazing ideas! hänsel & gretel-inspired she lets lily and andrew run through a human tree forest with fish man & throw lady gaga into a mega oven! truly ingenious!

3. diversity.

4. video time.

lady gaga's newest single! look at all those crazy clothes! i think my eyes pop out if she continues to wear these things! and she pulls it off so well! by the way, here's another 'lady gaga is involved in mind-controlled masonry'-conspiracy.

a girl skating under cars! crrrazy!

björk . human behavior
you can't hate björk. at least i can't. one of my biggest idols!

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
