november: revisiting limburg / early christmas markets in rüdesheim & wiesbaden.

i've been to limburg a few times already and revisit again ever so often, it's just a beautiful town with its medieval core. my parents visited me at the end of november so they could catch some early christmas markets in my region. so the reason for making the trip to limburg was just this, visit the local christmas market. unfortunately it wasn't that much of a burner, but it was still great to wander the narrow and crooked streets of the city.

i adore those tiny alleyways.

christmas decorations.

the hattstein fountain, commonly known as the drunkard fountain ;)

through wisdom a house is built & with reason it's maintained.

a glimpse of the cathedral.

more beautiful timberframed houses.

someday i want to live in such a house.

castle & cathedral.

tiny branch-off of the river lahn.

 
sneaking up on herons.

the cathedral from afar,

six of seven sins.

this beautiful house had painted timber frames.

metal birds tweeting their love to each other.

tiny faces on a church bell attachment.

behind the cathedral the castle is situated. here we are in the courtyard.

figurines on my most favourite house in limburg.


in the evening we drove to rüdesheim to visit the christmas market.

rüdesheim always beats itself with its decorations every year.

i especially loved this wine bottle case christmas tree!

huge glowing snowman on the roof a house.

twinkling lights everywhere.

the brömserhof estate always has a merry-go-round in the courtyard at christmas time.

next to the brömserhof is the mang'sches haus.


mang'sches haus in full glory.

bingen by night. bingen is right on the other side of the rhine.

my mother looking gangster in a passage underway. i really like this photo.

on my parent's last day we were taking a stroll over the christmas market of wiesbaden. i didn't take a lot of pictures, but i still wanted to show these anyways.

friedrich schiller looking sophisticated in front of the hessian state theatre... and an mountain alp. talk about cultural clashes.

this father christmas was bedecked in jewels and galore and i liked it pretty much.

another window decoration. fox and snowflake tree <3 p="">

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...
