nature strikes japan.

first and foremost:

i send my deepest, deepest condolences to all japanese people who lost ( or probably will lose ) someone important or close to them.
it's crazy what was and still IS happening in japan! ( super WCS CAN happen and i'm almost sure it WILL happen - and when it happens japan will be hell. ) i'm still in worries about all the people living there. a meltdown is just the most terrible thing to happen.
please, please, please, dear japanese government, quickly evacuate the people there and not just 20 km around the power plant but at least 100 km and more!
the japanese government KNOWS what's happening to people, animals and nature when this scenario takes place. they just have to look back in history when a-bombs were dropped down on hiroshima and nagasaki. or what happened in tchernobyl.
so... i can't understand that they are downplaying the fact that something seriously awful is happening there right now. i just can't. especially when they talk about a serious problem and right in the next moment they tell people they shouldn't panic. I WOULD be in panic right about the moment the news would come to my ears. i AM in panic right now.
yes. it can also happen here in germany. and our government should also debate about our power plants again. how can they still stretch the running time of our nearly 40 years old power plants? seriously?
i have experienced a small earthquake in wiesbaden before, it also can happen here! ( we have one of germany's oldest atomic power plant just 69 km away! ). and our government just passed a law that basically says they will stretch running times for 10 - 15 years! the power plant near us should've been switched off by 2010. now it will probably run until 2020, and that is just AWFULLY high-risk.

you know by now... i have a huge fear when it comes to atomic powers. it's just a terrible source to get electricity from.

so...
gosh, i'm in such worries about people there! i could cry when i see the pictures on tv.

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...
