the last vacation day: meet me at another castle!

this time we were in saxony-anhalt , another german state. to be precise we visited a small village called burgscheidungen which is near freyburg (unstrut) . and there it was. another little jewel of germany's almost forgotten castles.  there were funny little pumpkins everywhere. halloween day! but i officially hate halloween and embrace the day of the dead. the weather gave its best on this day. those statues were pretty badly damaged. oh, a mom :O wall carvings. oh noes, it's a portrait of me :O dad and mom. my dream vinyl player. buy me one.

preparing for the death.

every year i have the urge to visit some cemetery, i guess it's some kind of preparation or to confront myself with the possibility of being dead in the future. haha, that sounds like i barely think of being dead, but in fact i do think of death every day, more or less. usually i get the 'need to visit cemetery' thoughts in autumn, which is  actually the best time to go. as you can see below, the colours transmit so much more intensity. and death doesn't seem so dead after all.  we visited weimar  historical  graveyard . my grandparents from my mother's side are buried here. such a beautiful graveyard building, isn't it? this tombstone was especially beautiful. the marble stone carvings looked like a real photograph. unfortunately you couldn't read the dates anymore. the russian chapel. because i was a human, and this means being a fighter.  a quote by weimar's most famous celebrity johann wolfgang von goethe .
