july hodgepodge.

i think i will do a post every month that is a mishmash of random things, that don't belong into a particular category. sometimes a photoset is just about a day trip or a vacation and when i post random stuff in there it kind of disrupts the overall aesthetics, don't you think? maybe it's just me, though.

the moon showed itself from its best side in early july.

and also hid itself very well.

a storm is brewing.

bird on satelite.

they are currently building a new congress center right around the corner of where i live and this massive crane is my daily view out of the window at the moment. it's pivoting over the roof of our house a lot, and i was a little bit startled when that happened the first time, haha.

chimney roof.

there were quite a few rain storms in june, but never something too outrageous. they created the best skies, though.

i also finally got around to pamper myself with delicious cupcakes! the shop i got them from is called britmania and they also sell lots of british delicacies and gift products.

needless to say that the cupcakes were massive and definitely delicious.



oh my, naked skin! the sun felt wonderful on my skin when i woke up and the urge of taking a shot of me in the sun crept up on myself immediately.

imperfect booty :O

spaghetti with zucchini, champigons & chanterelles in a summery cream sauce.

pedestrian bridge in schierstein harbour. it was really warm and the air was of high humidity and the rain that came down was especially nice to walk through.



abundance of greenery.

i managed to shoot a lightning! i'm always proud as hell when i succeed in storm photography.

in the night.

there's a curious recreational facility here in wiesbaden called 'lufti'. it is an air bath, which means you don't have swimming pools in there, but instead an abundance of sunbathing areas, volleyball & badminton fields, a kneipp water-treading basin & a nudist area. it's a relict of the old days in the 20ies when new bathing cultures were developed. entry is only 2 euro and you can stay until 8 in the evening. there are kiosks in there as well. perfect for a day when you don't feel like bathing and just want to enjoy a day outside with the benefits of an outdoor swimming pool area. well, and if you are crazy like that, just go nude and naked and be your pure self, if you want to. ( the nudist area is differentiated from the rest of the area ).


i made myself comfortable in the calmest corner available under huge trees and next to a few bushes that were visited by birds from time to time. it's a perfect place for catching up with a good book or snoozing away for a little while.

shadows on the blanket.

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...
