dresden pt. 3.

as you have noticed i shot a loooot of pictures of my trip to dresden. i could have been shooting even more! that's how dresden is, it's huge and full of sightseeings and little details. don't let me tell you about the details. your eyes will explode if you try to grasp every detail dresden has to offer, be it on buildings, statues, treasures, everything.


one of the zwinger buildings.


the zwinger court.


where the nymphs are taking a bath. i loved this little garden, so peaceful.


a nymph with child.


nymphs over nymphs.


and we were all witnesses of a historical procession.


the zwinger pond. love the autumn colours!


the former cigarette factory 'yenidze'. oriental breeze in dresden.


the new synagogue of dresden.


the wonder that is autumn.


the 'elbwiesen' ( elbe meadows ) with 'elbcastles' in the background.


lingner castle and castle eckberg.


early evening view onto the old city of dresden.


to end the day, we also visited castle moritzburg. it's so idyllic in the evening sun! one side of the castle was in progress of being renovated, so i didn't shoot a full castle picture, sorry ;O;


hunter with dog and trumpet.


beautiful sunset!


the gardens of castle moritzburg.


bye-bye beautiful gardens and wonderful castle. i hope to visit it once again, it left such a great impression on me. we didn't have time to wander through the gardens and woods nor have we seen the inner castle. so, dear castle, let me tell you that i will revisit thee!

the next day we had a look onto the treasures of the 'grüne gewölbe' ( without photos ), made another walk through the old city and made boat trip on the elbe before we headed home again. the next post will be the last dresden post, just in case you got bored already ;O;

now i'm off drinking some tea for colds and wrapping myself into very warm blankets.

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...
