april '18: leftovers.

roe buck.

just like last time for the month of march, the month of april 2018 had some leftover pictures that i felt fit nowhere else. since they only consisted of a few pictures they didn't really warrant their own big post. so again, i threw them together with other pictures. the first few were from a visit to a constant favourite: fasanerie hanau. it's a big animal park where they keep native game, predators like wolves, lynxes & wild cats and birds galore! it's a really natural & nice animal park and the animals have huge compounds to move around in. i kind of photographed very little animals, i think my camera battery was empty after a while, so... here are still some nice pictures i didn't want to let waste away on my drive.

discovered a gray heron by a little pond.

he's that tiny spot in the middle, where the two trees are very closely standing together.

loved the scenery. and the mirroring.

some wallowing grounds for the wild boars.

i really love the naturally designed compounds. good landscaping.

hello, mr. clean! this lynx wants to be very presentable for you ;)

a brimstone looking for nectar. you know what we call these in german? zitronenfalter - lemon butterfly. i like it better than brimstone, haha.

those water holes were everywhere and provided some nice perspectives.

and a duck couple was swimming through one of those water holes as well!

a canal like waterway. my guess is, that it actually was manmade for some unknown reason. maybe as a drainage for some ponds that you can find throughout the park?

this structure also looked like its purpose had to do with water drainage. the park was once a pheasantry, so basically where nobility bred & shot 'wild' game. maybe they also used the ponds for breeding several fish & used various techniques for water level leverage or something. 

lynx beauty on the facade of the main building inside the park.

the next three pictures are just of the moon and some clouds and how bright the moon was and therefore illuminated the clouds magically. unfortunately my camera didn't capture it well, but well enough to not absolutely dismiss them as trash.




and since the moon is actually my all time lover and will always be my most beloved one - have this nice feist song for closure of this tiny post:


My moon, my man's a changeable land

Such a lovable land to me

My care, my co-lead barber I know
There's nowhere to go but up
How on my sleeve my beggar should be

The song's out of key again

My fools, my things
We're digging the things
If the candlelit page again
Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
My moon and me

Not as good as we've been

It's the dirtiest clean I know
My care, my co-lead barber I know
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
My moon

The moon my man

My moon
The moon my man
My moon
The moon my man
My moon
The moon my man

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...
