a lot to catch up.

i'm on vacations at the moment waiting for my parents to arrive. we plan to stay here in wiesbaden for a while and then head up to the north by the baltic sea for two weeks. i'm so excited, mainly because i swore to myself to write again. i miss wiriting somehow, and am eager to see if i still can come up with something decent. life has been pretty much a bitch lately, and i need some space for myself right now. the internet will be off for two weeks starting in a week and i guess it will do me quite good. concentrating on my existence and experiences alone. you just need this sometimes in this fast driven life we lead.

until i bid you goodbye here are some pictures from last month.

hello. my hair has gotten pretty long.

some pictures of a zoo visit at the beginning of june. please bear with me not writing so many captions. most of the time i say the same thing anyways, so it's not a big loss.









this hyena impressed me a lot. never knew they were so big and kind of bear-like. i know they're predators and quite dangerous, but the feeling got to me that these creatures are kind of gentle, too. it's something in they're eyes. they've encountered a lot of fights and their scars are quite intriguing.






kitties. i am quite sad about these pictures. i have promised l. a little kitty and we were so excited and everything and when the day came when we wanted to get it news arrived that the one she had chosen ran away, or got stolen... i don't want to think about the little one being dead at all, especially since my parents didn't find him. this kitty is a girl though, and the girls have already found a new home.

more girly kitties.

the boys. this photo especially hurts. the kitty that got missing is on the left.

this little guy has been sent to a home as well.

the girls were quite beauties, but also rather rebellious.

delicate blossoms.

shadow, the mother, breastfeeding her little ones.

such a sweet sight.



we also visited a chinese garden near where my parents live. it opened just a few years ago and was very new to me. it was really worthwhile and i wish i had something like this in my area as well. i'd go out and take my books with me and writing material and i'd be in my own oasis.


dragons.



















dad.

i was so magical, almost.



replicas of the terracotta army.


we also had coffee and cake. quite delicious.

this berry cake was heavenly... well almost any cake is, actually. i'm a cake person.

coconut cappuccino.


and a last picture of the first real thunderstorm of the year.

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 ...

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 ...
