fireworks & long walks.

these are the last pictures for a while now. vacations are coming, hungary is waiting, a new car is waiting for a buy and i'm SO in need of a time out from work. after that i will have hundreds of pictures to look through and pick out the best ones. until then, enjoy these!

i have visited my parents last weekend and before that i decided to freshen up my hair. and i watched football. in fact, i'm just right now sitting in front of the tv and wait for argentinia and mexico to play ( germany against england was a blast! really! even though it's a pity for england that the referee didn't see that one goal. ) you see, i'm so in football fever right now.
well, let's do those random pictures first.

strawberries! i've collected almost 2 kilo of them two weeks ago. some of them are in the freezer waiting to be used as a highlight for a delicious strawberry cake.

germany against australia was one hell of a prelude play, didn't you think so? 4:0 was absolutely amazing. well... australia wasn't that amazing, though.

red hair! red seems to be my significant colour. i can't let go of it.

and then i finally made a short trip to my parents.

and i welcomed mini-kitty! and she welcomed me :3

the main reason i was at home was because i wanted to see the krämerbrückenfest in erfurt.

käpt'n blaubär and hein blöd - iconic tale telling awesomeness! well... walter moers is this iconic tale telling awesomeness, actually, he's the master behind it all.

great painted house.

a fire show at the totally overloaded medieval market.

a cute 'ente' ( citroën 2cv ). i drive a citroën ( saxo ) myself and will be driving one in the near future again, it will be a citroën c2 vts, the speed car version of the small ente :3

the highlight of it all were the glorious fireworks.

beautiful, no?

the next day...

mini-kitty is jumping and playing around.

momma kitty joining.

and taking a break.

and we made a walk. picking flowers.

i really am not squeezeing those pretty flowers, unfortunately it looks like i just do that.

and some last self portraits.

i'm not sure if i'll be posting again, this week. if not, we're going to see us in 3 weeks hopefully with a lot of good pictures.

until then! addig!

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...
