the baltic sea chronicles: days 9 & 10 & 11. beach impressions.

a few impression of several beaches.

fehmarn island.

gull on the beach on fehmarn island.

your's truly. ignore the sand grain on my nose. haha.

digging out pits and chilling in them.

observing karate trainings.

the wind was so strong that day, that i decided to wear a turban. because of flying sand.here i hang out in the pit and read a book. i think it was jonathan franzen's 'how to be alone'.

even though the wind was evil, it was such a beautiful day.

grömitz.

met up with acquainted people in grömitz the other day.

they had the best typewriter in their hotel room.

strolling around by the sea.

this is an underwater capsule. it went down into the sea, to show you underwater life. didn't enter, because it was expensive and only lasted half an hour. additionally it was only a few hundred metres away from the beach, i couldn't imagine a rich underwater life. another offputter was the fact that it didn't move around in the sea. just going up and down. still it made for an interesting object to photograph.

the water had this deep blue shade which made me feel like i was on the open sea.

grömitz sign. didn't like this town a lot. too many people. too much tourism.

stormy weather approaching.

this was my highlight of that day. huge storm clouds arriving while the sun was still shining. apocalypse sky!

dramatic sculpture picture. duh.

after the 'storm'. it turned out that it wasn't very apocalyptic at all.

we walked to the boat harbour of grömitz. very expensive yachts everywhere.

we had a few more dramatic looking clouds.

on the 11th day i was just bicycling around, leaving my camera in my bag most of the time. in the afternoon i met with my parents on the beach. these last two pictures were the only ones, i did that day. sometimes you need to enjoy the world simply as it is.

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...
