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...

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...
