september: graveyard in the rain.

my friend in frankfurt had a visitor from great britain in early september and so we met up to take a look at frankfurt main cemetery together. just as we stepped outside the car it began to rain like mad, and even though this wasn't welcomed a lot, we still decided to explore the graveyard. the rain didn't decrease at all, so after an hour or so, we returned to the car. and decided to visit mtz - a big mall outside frankfurt. i'm not a shopping lover at all, but my companions had fun, i guess :)

this guy greets you at the entrance of the cemetery. it just looked like he stepped outside and took a shower in the rain. recently i noticed that i have a thing for statues and sculptures... i don't know what it is, maybe how people managed to work on material that is actually pretty difficult to work on, like stones, metals etc. or maybe they express something for me, or i am moved by them because of an expression they hold. anyways, i love sculptures.

this grave was heavily inspired by art deco.



i like the simplicity of this grave, even though the cross is so delicately made. 


monumental grave site for the family brüning.


the site of the war graves was quite impressive.



the uniformity of the graves is something that pleases my eye.


the memorial for the victims of the world wars.

inside the memorial.


on accident we found this skull inbetween some graves. how fitting. i would've taken it home, but it was not very intact anymore. still, i love finding things like these! by then the rain got stronger again and we decided to call it quits.

in the mall there was this h&m store that housed these charming hands as decorations.

these marshmallows i bought myself on the food festival in wiesbaden. they were the best things i have tasted in a long time. fluffy and kind of spongy, but really soft and really fine tasting. when i think about them the water starts building up in my mouth again.


it may look disgusting to you, but can you see the spongy texture of these things? it was like biting into a cloud. at least that's what i think is what a cloud feels like, when biting into one xD

the cocoa marshmallows were to die for.

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...
