february: bits and pieces of an average life.

a few of these pictures are from two weeks ago, when my parents visited me. others are just random moments. 

carvings in stone on a building here in wiesbaden.

one of my most favourite cafés in frankfurt is iimori. it's japanese and tiny and full of mismatched cutlery and perfect wallpapers. the cakes and drinks and coffee are outstanding - little works of food art.

from time to time you just have to indulge even in tiny cakes like that.

a cormorant fishing for food. these black companions have something about them i really like to observe.

triangle obsession continued. geometrical shapes.

mother on a bench. sometimes i really should compose a picture, so it doesn't turns out like this. it could've been an almost symmetrical picture if i noticed the symmetry while i was shooting it.

sunset. the schierstein harbour is a perfect place for witnessing the sun go down or up.

storks nesting again. they were very in love and had to show the whole world how deeply they were. stork love happens dangerously high above.

the rhein-main-hallen ( a congress & event venue near my place ) are torn down to get constructed again in a new way. meanwhile we had the chance to witness its demolition from very close.

all those keys they've been hiding? who needs so many keys? they also found a world war II bomb while they were tearing the venue down and as luck had it, i wasn't at home when they evacuated the neighbouring buildings and streets. as always i was missing out on the dramatic stuff.

only skeletons left.

the kurhaus in the evening.

wiesbaden at night.

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...
