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.

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 ...
