weekly glee # 21 2009.

i don't really feel like christmas lately, work really is stressful these days. some colleagues got sick and it's a lot of work for those, who remain. i don't really have a clue what to buy as presents, i wanted to visit the sternschnuppenmarkt here in wiesbaden, but then end up at home again, since i'm so groggy. so to cheer me up ( and maybe some of you ), here's my weekly list of loved goodies found on the net.

1. desertions.

# neutief-luftwaffe air-base in the kaliningrad region by tbsf - beautiful pictures of european history.
# druid ridge cemetary & the death of transfiguration by the hoodwatch - the cemetary is so breathtaking! i love how the hoodwatch manages to make those sculptures look like they'd start walking and moving in the next few minutes. also, the church is still so magnificient, even though it's in such a state of demolition. it's kind of sad and unfair to see something so wonderful vanish from the world's surface.
# victory building by tune - amazing detail photos of abandoned things.
# the treehouse on luxist.com - heath ledger has lived in here and i must say, he had one very good taste in houses. all the trees and plants are absolutely producing a feel of living in a tree house. it must be great, to relax here after a hard day of work. there are more pictures here.
# collection of abandoned houses via 100abandonedhouses.com - absolutely stunning! if i had the money, i would renovate most of these gorgeous houses, so people can live in there again. these pictures make me want to start my own abandoned houses project!

2. photogenius.

# 'jeunesse dorée' by markus pritzi for tush - this set is absolutely poetic. i almost have no words for it. everything is just beyond perfect and so full of emotions. one of my very favourite sets as of now.
# kim min hee & lee hyuk soo by zo sun hi for vogue korea december 2009 - another amazing tutorial inspired of tim burton's ingeniousity. this time: the corpse bride!
# jessica stam by benjamin alexander huseby for harper's bazaar september 2009 - the decade of the 50ies revisited! i love the glowy mood these pictures suggest! and never did someone look so good with a salad leaf on her head, haha :D
# valentina zeliaeva by richard bush for elle us september 2009 - this is also one of my most fathomed photosets of all time. all breezy and windy and the shooooes! i'd like all of them, haha :D

3. diversity.


let me introduce you to the photodiarist, a photographer from new york who captures this city in the most wonderful way - black and white photography. also, sometimes in colour. recently he/she (?) visited marakech and the pictures are just breathtaking.


another introduction: eva tanguay, the first rock star. this woman was just fascinating. a vaudeville rebel. love!

4. video time.


haha, this kitty is just hilarious!


dogs are decorating the christmas tree! wonderfully trained!


the beatles . help
an absolute classic! and how handsome john lennon was. makes me sad.


the white stripes . as ugly as i seem
well, i'm a huge white stripes fan for years now, and this is one of my most favourite songs of the band.

so, hopefully your christmas time is brightened up for another week!

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...
