closer.

i visited the frankfurt zoo again, this time with l. and my new camera. it was a beautiful day, i wish we could do things like these more often. i'm always a little bit sad about this, because l. is quite different from me. i love being in nature, she's preferring the solitude of her personal 4 walls. but sometimes we meet in the middle and it's always so charming when it happens. but first of a few random pictures shot on a birthday party. already with my new canon powershot sx130 is. i'm in love with this camera. it's bigger than my old one, but it shoots beautiful, beautiful photos. 




the moon! have you seen the moon yesterday evening? it was huge and beautiful and surrounded by misty clouds. lovely. ( addition: well, i thought the moon yesterday was huge. but supposedly the moon will be even bigger tonight! hopefully the sky will let the moon shine through the thick clouds! )

onto the animals.

dromedaries!


tigers!

egyptian goose and its little gooselings *O*

they were adorable.

don't ya think?

sea otters! quite cheeky these guys :D

l.'s wonderful pink hair!

little plushy things! unfortunately i can't tell you what these animals are. something mouse-like at least!

golden lion tamarin!

another little critter which name i forgot.

gundi! chubby little things!

this little bearded dragon was so photogenic! a model in its entirety.

random blossoms :3

sonoran desert frog. can't find informations about him anywhere.

this guy was really sassy! a water monitor!


rhinoceros iguana!

leafcutter ants!

tropidacris collaris.

a beauty, non?

millipedes *O*

southern cassowary!

flamingos.

i don't really have a clue when it comes to corals and fish. so i let these speak for themselves.


my most favourite animals in the world. meerkats!

they are SO twee!

look at this pork belly! i guess it is pregnant, but... LOOK AT THESE ROLLS!

so fat, so cute, so adorable!

and a picture of l. and me :D we drank slushies!

and here they are, my new tattoos! they're moons, in case you couldn't find out. in fact, they're galileian moons, drawn by galileo galilei :D it's just. i love the moon. i love the symbolic meaning of it and how it affects our everyday lives! don't you catch yourself sometimes looking up at the nightsky, searching for the moon and its soothing lights? i do. that's why i chose it as my tattoo motive. and it also symbolizes a circle and this leads to the circle of life and this leads to my most favourite symbol: uroboros. you could interprete a lot into these moons. and it would all be true.




sorry for blinding you with naked legs of mine.

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...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
