weekly glee # 20 2009.

so... christmas time starts! have you all decorated your homes yet? already bought some presents? enjoyed your very first mulled wine and ate warm sugar roasted almonds? visited a christmas market?

here's a small collection of great things i found last week.

1. desertions.


old decadence / surprise

# 'time that crosses streets' by der5pezialist - an eerie building in talinn, estonia. der5spezialist really does a good job showcasing the gone glory of historical architectures.
# 'the benett school for girls' by dark_fetus - a finishing school for young woman. looks like a set for 'the adams family' movies! i like the wood works on the building. it must be heart-attacking to wander 'round there in the midst of the night. what a real gem of ghost house this is!
# 'wasteland' by g_r_a_z_a - little ghosts and strange creatures found in an abandoned house! oh, well, i'd wish they be real, but unfortunately they're not. still, amazing work! visit g_r_a_z_a's livejournal to see more ghostlies and entities.
# 'eshera military sanatorium' by ilya-gorokhov - this place must've been beautiful when the militarians still were on these grounds. a paradise for healing up wounds.

2. photogenius.


armoured / picknick

# snejana onopka by mariano vivanco for numéro korea #17 - very glamour-gothic photoshoot. snejana onopka has a really aristocratic face, which really is a good match with the clothes.
# denise grünstein photography - this woman has a hand for fantastical themes and photographing them. there's a lot of magic going on in her pictures, hope and melancholy complement each other very well.

national geographic's international photography contest 2009



there are always so many good photographs in the national geographic magazines. these are some really great ones from this year's contest. you can still vote for the best ones on the viewer's choice competition, if you want to :D

3. design & architecture.



# 'my life in 80 m2' by poliform - well, 80 m2 is not very small ( at least it's not for me, since i'm living in a 50 m2 flat. ), but this appartement would be blast to live in. ( i'd still change this and that about the interior designs, but the room capacities themselves are great! )

4. video time!


the new york lottery has made an advertisement in which bunnies are having fun on a fair ( looks like christmas market to me :D ). this is really so cute! even though it's for the lottery.


alexander petrov's rusalka

this animation is one of the beautifullest ones i've recently seen. apparently it is painted on glass? i found it via esnobista, who's doing a 'masters of russian animation' project on youtube.com.

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...
