autumn walks: from the central station to sonnenberg.

this walk was quite a hike. i needed three hours for the whole walk. 1.5 h to sonnenberg and 1.5 h back to the city. but it was nice. the pretty coloured trees and the architecture i've seen, made up for the bad muscle soreness i had after the walk. yeah, and these things still do, whilst i'm - again - struggling with my knee.

japanese maple.

this is going to be a kindergarten, but it definitely would be a dream house for me to live in. it's kinda strange that i like pompous villas as much as minimal houses. oh, the extremes.

the industrial training & technology center wiesbaden II.

view onto the inner city. i do live not far away from that black tower. in the back you can see the taunus.

i love detailed shoots. and i love the bokehs in the backgrounds that always develop when doing macroshots.

when you're going to sonnenberg, you will walk a bit of the rheinhöhenweg. there are two of this trail, one on the right side of the rhine and one on the left. the one on the right, starts or ends ( you have to choose :P ) in bonn-beuel or wiesbaden. i guess it's most idyllic when you walk it in autumn. oh. and you'd need a 2 week vacation to walk the whole trail, it's 320 km long.

the city wall tower of sonnenberg. it's the entry to castle sonnenberg.

it got dark by the time i returned in the city. it was a really wonderful walk.

and since it was the day of halloween i had to have a shot of my ceramic pumpkin.

....jetzt freue ich mich auf das Konzert & les dann auf der selben Seite, dass Kagrra sich im März trennen werden.... irgendwie haut mich das um. Deren Konzert fand ich bisher das beste überhaupt & ihre Musik hat mir immer gut gefallen.... es gibt ja wenige Bands, die ich wirklich mag, aber bei denen tut mir das jetzt echt leid.... *a lil down*

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...
