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.
( why yes, there is no design & architecture section this time! )

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 ...
