the baltic sea chronicles 2012: day 1 & day 2.

if i could ( and maybe i should ) i'd move immediately to north germany. i'm so in love with the sea, the landscapes, the weather, flora and fauna. and most of all, i feel a positive solitude. with the roar of the waves and soft sand under your feet the beach is perfect for daydreaming, contemplating and generally degenerating. the weather is beautiful either way, may it be stormy, overcast and rainy or sunny and bright.
on the whole, i feel more like myself up there than i feel here in wiesbaden.

day 1.
on the way up north in the early morning.

i simply love this portrait of my father. i couldn't refrain from posting this. usually i don't like to post about the people i love or am acquainted with. you never know if they dislike being shown online.

thatched roofs! so romantic.

again, my dear father.

the beach around lunch time.

scuba divers!

my father ( left ), my mother ( behind the woman on the right ) and the people ( in the middle and woman on the right side ), we've spent our vacations with.



relaxing on the pier.

my beloved owl purse that i got from lea.

the roof of the house we were accommodated in.

lots and lots of flowers and plants have been photographed.


day 2 
an eel bow net.

the second day we were out on the beach. the weather was perfect for swimming. unfortunately it was a rare occurence.

ducks!


the water was so blue and turquoise, it was splendid.


the ever present sea gull.

in the afternoon the sky got more cloudy. i love dramatic skies! soon enough it cleared again.


we made a short walk through the village in the evening.

see, evening sky was blue again. 





snail trail :)




beautiful house.

a fake cat climbing up balustrades.




the late evening hours brought storm clouds. i love the constant change in the weater. makes for beautiful skyscapes.

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...
