july: fehmarn island. pt. 1.

so finally, the pictures of our fehmarn trip in july arrived on this little journal of mine. about time, i guess. or not. seeing as i always post with such huge delay. i think i will never quite catch up. which probably is my biggest fault. i'm always living like 5 months in the past. but at the same time in the here and now, which mostly is a rather boring time to be in. the past often looks nice, the future at this precise moment in time does not. i could throw more of these phrases around.

i am not really in the mood to talk more. keeping this journal seems like a waste of time. it will never be good for anything other than reminiscing the past, even though i always hoped it could be more. i hoped people would like the photography, would like to get to know me, i hoped i could find my true passion in life and then start some kind of advice/lifestyle blog. but these hopes are gone, and i live a rather normal and unmentionable life, which will probably never turn into something purposeful.

this is just a thing that is only up for myself. only for me to rummage through my past and maybe realize that not all is bad. to remind myself to be thankful of those moments i had. to not diminish myself. or something like that. i don't know. i just leave this trace and maybe someone will find it in the future and ponder who this woman was that posted all these memories, but never contributed anything important. most likely this won't ever happen.

it's just evidence for myself, that i am a real person, who kind of lived a real life.


okay, for someone who did not want to talk a lot this time, i managed to write too many stupid and empty words again. i guess i have that impulse to continually write bullshit and talk myself into some kind of self worth. make myself important with too many words. a classic case of desire for recognition and approbation.

on to the pictures of our fehmarn vacation. i guess i don't have to introduce it again, we've been visiting this island for about 3 years now and all there is left to say is that i want to keep returning for the rest of my days.

on our first day we made a little welcome walk on the beach in burgtiefe. i found a dead bird. dead things are always fascinating to me.

the big open blue.

seaside panorama of burgtiefe with the ifa vacation center. it was a gloomy day.

i may have jumped. but i didn't.



lots of snails accompanied us on our way.


fisher women in the wind.

gloomy sea weather kind of is the best.

on the second day we visited a small butterfly house.



iguanas lived there, too!






and made a little island tour with several stops in various villages.

we stopped in petersdorf.


st. johanniskirche. there was a beautiful book market inside.

lemkenhafen view. i shot this on the roof of an old historic mill.

scandinavian architecture.

harbour in lemkenhafen.

sheep are so typical for germany's north. they are perfect for keeping levees in shape.


little summer storm coming.

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...
