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...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
