all along the watchtower.

i neglected this little blog for quite a while now - i was very busy with working and living ( there was more of working than living ) and like always, i didn't feel like putting some more precious time into updating this blog ( it takes quite a while to work on posts, even though i never post deep thoughts or reviews about my life or anything different that could be valued as something helpful or important ). so here i am again, back with some months old photos. i think they're from april. the first few are just randomized but the rest of the photos were made on a trip to hohenstein castle together with friends first and then with my parents on another day. i love this set a lot.

self portrait time. i went for something slightly skin revealing. sometimes you're just in the mood.


my most favourite bedroom lamp. my brother and his girlfriend made it for me a few years ago as a birthday gift.

i will never tire of photographing cats in all circumstances of life :)

the church near hohenstein castle on a cloudy day with goats munching away grass in front of it.

witch magic skull!

hohenstein castle is beautifully sitting high above a cliff in the taunus mountains and it's also really remarkable because it was kind of built into that mentioned cliff. i think it's one of my most favourite castles to date. to be sitting up above in one of the two towers and look down onto the little village of hohenstein is just breathtaking everytime. 


the view onto the lush taunus mountains. spring makes for the best green colours!

there is a passage through the cliff ( and right under the castle ) from one side of the building to the other side.

best stones forever. i love natural finished rocks

beautiful orange lichen growing on the old stonewalls.

and nature crawls in every corner.


my dad walking on the high passage.

i loved my outfit that day. very rare!


another daddy picture and also proof that we were very high above the ground.

delicate spring blossoms.



there's just something about ruins and these little specks of nature that just gets me every time.



the passageway through the cliffs. you can also see clearly that the old men of history did an amazing job on building the castle onto those cliffs.

stairways, neat little stairways.

good picture of the main castle.

after exploring the castle we went to see if we could enter the little church next to it. but it was closed and all we got to see from the inside was this little glimpse of one of the church windows' glass work.

mirroring clouds.

details of the church doorts.

my most favourite plant of early spring: lilacs. their smell is heavenly and the blossoms so cute. little burls and knops of white, lavender and deep violet.

orchard with old fruit trees.

i found this barn with the tree so charming.

and a last picture of the church and the castle, again with goaties!

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...
