late october, soon to be november.

i need to quickly catch up with my photos, a plan has ripened in my head, that i need to start the new year really fresh. no legacies. i also think i should bring more diversity into this little blog of mine. maybe write a fews texts once in a while, about things that move me or recommendations... just something with more substance. something that will remind me of the person i was when i return back in 5 years to see what i've been up to in 2013.

but until then, i really need to blog those posts. no more procrastination. let's see if i can keep up. let's start with some more autumnal pictures in a time when christmas should be on your mind. but on the other hand: isn't it also important to reflect on the past?

spider webs in my parent's garden.

i love the colours of this tree. always. it's the autumn tree of my childhood.

tiny mushrooms on wood.

a foggy evening.



medieval stage on the onion market in weimar. did not shoot more photos. i feel with every year i'm getting older, i try to grasp things more with my eyes than with my camera.

warm flames.

one day my parents, my brother and me did another round of mushroom hunting. we ended up at the barrage lütsche - a lake i haven't visited before. it really wasn't nice weather when we started our tour, but the sun would eventually peek out the clouds in the afternoon. and the lake was really beautiful and kind of dramatic looking. we sure have little unknown jewels in my home state :)


a picture perfect fly amanita

i loved the mossy grounds and baby mushrooms showing their small heads. we surely made a good catch this time around, our basket was so full  in the end that the mushrooms toppled out of it the whole way back, haha.

and the farn woods were beautiful, too.


my brother found the skull of a wild boar. it was still in decay and i didn't take it with me. i once found a deer's skull, too and took it home. i'm still owning it. one of my most loved possessions.

more amanita.



finally the clouds gave way for the sun.

the beach with its stones and rotten wood stumps was quite magic.

a view onto the barrage.



when we drove back we spotted little bright dots amongst the green. the trees turned autumnal really late this year. i feel like everything's a month too late. in early december it still felt like the middle of autumn.

colours next to my work place.

this church is also situated right next to my work place.

a mushroom meal! it was delicious.

waking up to beautiful sunshine.

and the trees coloured themselves in the best reds and yellows and browns.

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
