ghost of nature.

i had a week off in late january and didn't do much in it except heading to thuringia for the weekend to visit my parents. it happened to be a drive to winter wonderland. it was ice cold during this stay, we had around 15 degree minus and it made for really beautiful landscapes to photograph. i'd like to say that this weekend was magic. here are the pictures to let them speak for themselves. my parents' garden in full ice glory. on my drive to thuringia i couldn't stop marveling at the landscapes around me, i was literally screaming inside my head how breathtaking everything was. how the sun shone through the trees and cast a magical light onto the iced twigs and branches... i'm still swooning over those moments. crystals. everything seems so pure, so new in white. sun setting. the moon was a perfect addition to that ice cold evening. my mother and me decided to do a little walk. the landscapes outside my home...

so we've finally gotten to the year 2016! january to be exact. and of course i continue with my love for animals and nature... and snow! we only had like 2 days of snow this winter, which is kind of a bummer. i'm not a big fan of winter, unless it's a winter with much of snow! i love snow. but as we're getting so few of it these days, it's kind of like a very unlikeable season to me. it's too dark too early and the sky is almost always grey which really dampens my mood a lot. like i said in the last post, it's a time were you start to realize what you accomplished ( or better what you haven't ) and this always gets me everytime, at the end of the year and also at the beginning of a new one. you hope for a better year, but when you look back, you already know it will probably not get any better unless a big thing happens all of a sudden. all i know is now, in april, this year's got the worst start ever, i cannot count the times anymore people aro...

i have to admit, it kind of feels strange to write this entry in the middle of spring. but i want to keep a chronological order on this blog ( my hope is, that i will eventually catch up to the present, and maybe by then get some ideas what else i can offer on this blog of mine - i know, it's a little pretentious, i guess, as i'm hoping for something silly ). december is oftentimes the month of the year when i'm not shooting much. i don't know, but it's not necessarily my favourite time of the year, i guess it has something to do with my job, as it's getting really hectic around that time and people freak out and i freak out and another year's ending, and i always realize i still haven't found what i want to do with my life. while i don't actually hate christmas season itself, i still have a hard time, always. maybe it's the dark winter season, maybe it's something else, but it seems to affect my moods so much, that i rarely feel like ...
