in the christmas mood.

a week before christmas i had 3 days off to visit my parents again and to partake at a family birthday party. here are some outcomings of this weekend that contained meeting up with my brother & girlfriend in erfurt; also meeting up with my cousin, his child & his wife. and additionally a few pictures from the birthday party village.

erfurt christmas market.

a very sophisticated tranny mannequin.

erfurt's city hall arches.

a very perverted food menu on the medieval market. such things as knight's schlongs & goblet's dicks ( which are in fact sausages).

booze menu. you could buy abbots on heat ( mulled wine out of black heart cherries ), lewd maidservants ( mulled wine with rum, cherry, vanilla ), apocalyptic cavaliers ( hot c. morgan rum with apple ) & spinster's terror ( original bombardino ). i thought it was very original :D

kraemerbruecke by night.

christmas pyramid & st. severus church.

my brother & me.

erfurt cathedral.

big wheel lights. this year we didn't ride it. it got more expensive than ever and it kind of put us off. i'm sad now, because our annual big wheel ride tradition was interrupted.

christmas star.

old city streets.

weimar christmas market.

mulled wine booth.

sign of the elephant's cellar ( elefantenkeller ) - a well known restaurant in weimar.

another pyramid - this time on the weimar christmas market.

loebichau.

castle loebichau front.

one of the many different castle buildings.

transition from ice to flowing water.

a winding tower. the area near loebichau was known for bismuth mining in the past.

winter sun.

icy lake.

copied roman architecture.

and i indulged in masses of tasty little cakes and tortes! my personal heaven.

and two selfportraits.

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...
