the village haffkrug and its surroundings.

haffkrug is a small village which is part of the municipality of scharbeutz. it is the place we are always staying in for several reasons: it's remote, it's quiet, it's not overpopulated and as i lovingly tell people: it's a retirement place. scharbeutz, the main town of the municipality is much more of a vacation destination: beach parties, sport activities, and socializing mainly take place in that location. don't get me wrong on that, i love haffkrug for exactly that doziness, because as you all know, i'm someone who needs secluded regions to relax and calm down. andshould there be a need of wanting to go out and putting yourself into a populated area you can easily do so, as scharbeutz and timmendorfer strand are not far away and can be reached per pedes and bike.

the beautiful sea in the evening. in the back you can see the coastline of timmendorfer strand.

i love walking on the beach in the evening, because isn't the light situation the most precious thing in that time of the day? blue hour love!

a typical thatching roof with a modern twist.

we experienced a lot of sunsets like this one while we were there. if i had to choose between going to a party or watching a sunset i'd definitely choose the sunset. everytime it's like a miracle of nature.

gulls populating the beach.

this was shot in sierksdorf, a village next to haffkrug.


more rooftops. i clearly love this traditional way of roofing. 

even the bus stops were covered in reeds!

a more windy evening at the beach. here we are in scharbeutz.

traditional looking houses are my kind of thing.

christmas lights in the summer? yes, of course, why not? makes for beautiful night sceneries.

a chinese kiosk with beautiful red lighting.

this snoopy is painted on a garage door in the back of our landlady's property.

made this picture while biking to neustadt in holstein.

another blue hour walk! it seriously is my favourite time of the day. there's something about the light that wraps me into a warm and fuzzy feeling of relaxation. plus the whooshing of the waves and the salty breeze on your skin and in your hair... it is just perfect.

the flags are for staking off where the gillnets are thrown out.

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...
