london in february: day 4.

the last day in london was a hard one. as in saying goodbye to this bustling town. because on the last day london showed itself from its best side. the sun was shining and we decided to roam through spitalfields ( shoreditch area ) and brick lane before we had to head to heathrow for flying back to germany.

spitalfields mesmerized me a lot. all the brick houses and urban surroundings - it felt very artistic & young here. there are so many good little shops and cafes here and everything is full of art, in every corner! some markets opened when we made our walk, markets for everything selfmade! food, clothes, vintage, antiquities. and there was so much i would have liked to buy. unfortunately time was gnawing on us, so i declined buying the tastiest foods, cheeky selfmade clothes... next time!

i'm really missing london. i never thought that overall i would love to come back again. i don't like huge cities, and london is sheerly massive and not at all overviewable. but still, it caught my heart really deep. i think it may be the only super city that i would ever want to live in.

early morning gherkin.

unicorn ripped in two.

suzzle cafe.

i really loved this.

heron building.

i wonder if that art has something to do with mythological background. my mind imagines something buddhistical.

old st. patrick's school doors.

the girl and the cat.

brick houses and modern architecture.

eerie and derpy.

guy fawkes street art.

day of the dead skull.

blue dove.

kinkao -a thai food restaurant. i tell you... next time i'm going to eat there, the food on the website looks absolutely delicious!

a little flatiron like building :D

another oppositional neighbourhood.

and really the last picture of our journey to london. above the clouds. flying was beautiful!

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...
