walls in the forest.

walking in the forests is one of my favourite things to do because you think you know it all, and then you suddenly discover a new place you've never been to. your mind is racing, it comes up with all kinds of stories. what was this place, who roamed around here, what did they do and why did they abandon it? these questions came to my mind when exploring these stray walls and leftovers of ( assumed ) military buildings. i love discovering new surroundings. so much to see, so little time.

of course you need the usual tree picture.

walking here was kind of cool, there were people around, but not too much. just in case you are robbed or something happened to you,  you can cry out loud for help.



and suddenly there were walls. just standing in the middle of the forest.

see?

nature takes back everything.

it's a bit sad. these walls are perfect for graffiti but there seems to be a lack of good quality sprayer. so you can only find tags. no epic street art.

only pretty colours.


little roots!

these are probably fractures of the basement. would love to see some pictures of how it looked in its heydays.
 
standing in the pit.



these small hills looked like breasts. and they were too perfect to be of natural kind.

some smart kids built this cute getaway.

it was so peaceful out there, birds were chirping, doing nest research and finding food in the soil. sometimes there was a dog owner walking by, the dog sniffing its surroundings.

i love finding uprooted trees. someone should cut it up so you can count tree rings or make music out of them!

and sometimes you find mysterious carvings in trees. aliens? probably not, but brain likes to make up things like that.


and in the midst of it all, some really green bushes! this was two weeks ago and now the world is in full bloom.

more walls.

made a good background for a self portrait. i seem to wear black all the time i'm heading out on adventures. sorry for being a poor fashion idol, haha.

mossy tree branches.



snowdrops are always the first sign that spring is coming.

and i found a little underpass! it was to wet and cramped though, to get through it.

all in all, forest walks make me feel at ease.

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...
