dresden pt. 4.

hello, all! i know, there was huge break between the last post and this one, but it was because i was working all week ( and still am - no day off ), but today i could go home in time ( like 20 minutes after work officially ended for me ), so i have some time for this last dresden post :D
no big words, off we go!

the last day we made a boat sight seeing on the elbe ( and before that visited the 'grüne gewölbe' - so there's a few 'not on board' photos as well ). we started in dresden and ended up in pillnitz ( with the wonderful castle pillnitz - which we did not explore any further, unfortunately. ) it was a very sunny day and perfect for making a boat trip! i even got my regular sun burn - it's a rule by now, everytime i'm on a boat sun has to kiss me! )


in the morning.


there were horses nearby our accommodation.


the catholic church again.


silhouettes.


lion head in front of the grüne gewölbe.


frauenkirche! it was crowded everytime we passed here. which was a bit annoying.


hello!


these charming guys were very humerous and pure gentlemen. very elegant and well-mannered :D


row, row, row your boat. here you can see the ministry of finances from far away.


and now we're directly in front of it. perfect place to sit and enjoy the sun, no?



augustusbridge.


this is an old waterwork.


beautifull villas everywhere!


paddle wheel steamer dresden.


castle albrechtsberg.


i think this was castle eckberg.


sweet hide-away in piggy colour.


living in a good place.


the 'blue wonder'.



suspension railway dresden - oldest in the world.


we were on the steamer 'leipzig'.


foamy floods.


the dresden tv tower - or the 'champagne glass'.


castle pillnitz.


the houses in pillnitz were really idyllic <3


and that was the last picture i took of my trip to dresden.


'the cat' being a good mother even though she's not always one. here you can see her under our sofa. she took her babies and in a moment when i wasn't watching she weaseled into the living room, haha.

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...
