the buga is a german federal garden show which takes place in a different city every year. i've seen two bugas, one in my home state thuringia and now the one in koblenz. basically you can get gardening ideas from these shows. i find it very beautiful visually. it also gives you great advice in terms of ecological aspects.
these two pictures were made in eltville.
this building has to do with bionics. you go through it and hear the sonar sounds of bats. the building itself was created as the visual outcome of these sonar sounds. it is complicated to me, but the sounds were beautiful nonetheless.
'the changes of a forest'-building. you had a great view onto koblenz from here. and it was a really interesting exhibition about the forests of our earth. telling about imbalances, uses and what danger human kind is to our trees.
a plant that i find very fascinating: the cypress spurge.
their little blossoms are so delicate.
they had several mentha with different smells. delicious! i loved the chocolate mint! i didn't know that so many different mints exist. there was a peach mint, melon mint, the pretty normal peppermint, and my alltime favourite lemon balm.
there also was a small raptor exhibition. i love these birds so much. they're so intelligent!
parts of the whole buga area was situated on ehrenbreitstein fortress. it's so spacious that i promised myself to return and explore it further someday.
huge anient cannon. it was at least 3 metres long. impressive.
on the roofs of the fortress they built little gardens. this one has a roman touch.
dad.
wild grasses, sedges, rushes and grains - an iron age garden.
fennel blossoms.
the '50ies' garden.
another exhibit: ceramic worlds. lots of pottery. i love clay for its pristine structures.
those ruinous buildings have a great appeal.
this text basically tells us that we would be in intensive care already with the symptoms that our forests show.
storm coming up.
at the end we had a look at all kinds of roses. i love smelling them. i'm always rather sad when they have beautiful blossoms but don't smell at all. what's the point in that? the odor of a rose is all what a rose needs.
and the drive back.
