just like honey.

i love springtime almost as much as autumn. the blooming, the awakening of the nature, there's just a feeling to it, that makes me think of honey. i love honey a lot, but i eat it rarely, because i want it to be a luxury. everytime i eat honey, my heart is full of enjoyment and peace, and it's so nourishing. when spring comes, i always feel like this, too. especially on sunny days. even the bees & bumble bees start searching for their honey again, no?

hanging out at lea's flat. cuddling with her plush animals :)

on easter my parents came to visit me. trip to the rhine is always included. sparkling water.

rhine meadows.

i look quite awkward and cold here. it was cold. at the same time it was so warm sitting in the sun. 

willows are going green.

my new safety pin dress. it has pockets. it's comfortable. i even feel kind of pretty in it. rare occasion.

heavenly smelling little blossoms.

oh, bumble bee, how much i love thee.

i love all the little buds, almost exploding open. like little moons. only moons don't explode. most of the time, that is.

and cracked open, showing their inner beauty.

this is pretty much not as beautiful as the pictures above. we've made a visit to a medieval market, together with lea. there was a torture presentation and this little guy's head was just hanging around.

spiked fish! oh, i'd really liked to eat those, but they still needed time.

theodor-heuss-bridge from wiesbaden to mainz and the other way round.

whole outfit this time. sorry for the duckface.

the reduit in mainz-kastel, where the medieval market took place. beauty place to be.

picture perfect, non?

more blossoms.


love these statues, sleeping gargoyles, one eye open though, so they could spy onto passengers.

little fountain. finally the water is flowing again.

my newest possession - an almost uroboros ring. because uroboros symbols are mostly of snakes. but this one is a lion's head eating its tail. still, for me it symbolizes the cycle of life, death and rebirth. i like the concept of this. because everything is a cycle and everything turns back to its roots. even the spring season will turn to summer and then to autumn and back to winter until it is spring again. isn't it such a wonderful metaphor? and also a big truth. everything is uroboros.

my most favourite band, dir en grey, even dedicated an whole album to it.



let's see what the rest of spring will bring.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

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 ...
