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!

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 ...
