colour explosions.

spring is on its highest. i can smell the summer coming. why can't it be spring for two seasons instead of one? changes were made. i have new tattoos. i like them a lot. even though some people who are very dear to me dislike my decision. i knew they'd do that. but things were said that hurt me a lot. so spring is not only a time of awakening but also a time of sorrow and mourning. maybe it's not that bad after all but right now it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

the garden of my parents was in full bloom when visiting it two weeks ago. i miss this garden a lot.

we made a walk around the village. it was very stormy but i love this weather. i feel very alive feeling a heavy breeze on my skin, hair blowing in the wind.

i found a few little things, like this audio book tape. cinderella and the wolf and the seven little goats. unfortunately it was broken.

my findings: a feather, a chalk stone and the tape.

shadow roaming around. she was pregnant at that time. now she's the mother of four cutiepies again!

we had wonderful lunch when visiting my brother in erfurt. afterwards we went to a car exhibition.

the eye of a citroen.

dream car, really! everything about it screamed: i belong to speedy mari, haha.

old opel sign.

i have a lot of memories when looking at this car. we had one in the early 90ies and i always sat on top of it or had really good sleeps in it when we were driving somewhere. wartburg nostalgia.

old motorcycles.

stairway to heaven. how cheesy.

a fire engine trabant :D

opel still has a factory in eisenach. a town not only known for the castle wartburg, but also for its cars and automobile history. and yes, martin luther was here for a while.

old age does not shield beauty. or something along the lines.

beautiful pottery.

whimsy!

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...
