winter sceneries.

we had a bit of snow in early december. it looked too beautiful and was gone too soon. we had no christmas snow this time. but i have proof that it was kind of wintery.

i bought a new laptop, the screen of my old one made strange things so it was decided i needed to prevent computer loss. a christmas present to myself. and it's absolutely sleek and so easy to use. it even had windows 8 included! not sure if i ever want to miss it, haha.

zeil sky. i made my way to frankfurt one day to meet up with lea. we had late lunch up at coa - an asian restaurant. the architecture is kind of crazy.

after lunch we made our way to frankfurt christmas market. it wasn't that amazing, but there were a few good things to be found. like beeswax candles.

or religious people.

in elk format.

also: vintage merry-go-rounds.

a picture of me and nici! we were waiting for a improvisational theatre show to begin.

winter lilies on wiesbaden christmas market.

marktkirche and market stuff.

i think it is one of my most favourite streets in wiesbaden. it's more narrow and old than the rest of the city.

ape in the windows.

some people had sleigh rides.

snowman built with a bucket.

green playground monster. this is really something in old-fashioned wiesbaden. a glimpse of future.

snowman found definitely a good place to stand.

beautiful view onto old wiesbaden.

my funny looking snowman.

j.'s teeny snow boy.

and a greeting from a glowing icebear.

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 ...

november: thuringian forest.

the day we visited the thuringian forest near luisenthal we would also receive the death notice of my cousin. while the day in luisenthal was pretty magic - i even found a goat skull to take home for my not so fast growing skull collection - the time we got home and received the phone call of my grandmother, everything went dull. we always had hoped for him to recover - over the course of his sickness there were multiple times we'd thought he was on his way up, but that also counted for the times it was clear that the cancer was severe and probably not defeatable. in the end he fought four years, but he couldn't conquer. his constant optimism & general good will wasn't enough as his body decided to give up on him. i'm still thinking a lot about him, he was such a good natured guy, always seeing the good in everything and everyone. it's so strange to know that he's never going to be on any future family party gathering again. we discussed so many things whe...
