early spring.

these pictures are just from several spring walks i did on my own and with a friend. the first batch i made while visiting bad schwalbach - a spa town in the taunus mountains.

spring didn't arrive here yet, but the nature was about to explode in greens and bright colours.

i love how the tree's true colour is so grey that you could almost miss it and then the moss on it takes it to a whole different level.

a tree that was felled not too long ago.

and the other half of it. it was huge.

gluey resin.


small mountain creeks.

i love how it looks like it's late autumn, early november.


on the way back home i got to experience this wonderful sunset over the taunus mountains.

and an almost full moon in the night.

a single picture of the frankfurt skyline. ( i visited dearest l. on this day )

and then there was the day when i met up with n. to do our annual spring walk. it was a good day, we rarely get together anymore, everybody lives their own life with their own problems, but when we get together it's almost as if we never stopped seeing in each other.

beautiful daffodil.

magnolia trees are probably the most magnificient bloomers ever. unfortunately they don't smell as heavenly as they look.


they were already falling apart.


i took a bath in this sea of blossom :)

young goslins!


the freshest green you will find is always the springy kind ;)

this proofs: old people rock!

the japanese maples and their teeny tiny blossoms and leaves. i swear, this tree is maybe my most favourite tree, ever.

and the interior of the kurhaus hallway.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

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 ...
