of ducks & cats and late august days.

have some random last pictures of august. nothing more to add. it feels like a long time ago. like everything that's got to do with the past. the pond at ' warmer damm '. ducklings swimming right next to us - they looked so cuddly. and this dove was kind of a beauty. some views of wiesbaden's inner city. the house i'm living in - the first on the left. a few beach photos by the lake 'riedsee'. went there with a couple of acquaintances. in the evening we had barbecue. the almost full moon. l.'s cat hydra :3 hydra and her best pal hardy

hiking in the wisper valley.

the wisper valley is a beautiful small valley which is known for it's lush green hills, medieval castles and the wispertaltsteig - a hiking trail of 15 kms. we decided to walk the first half on one of the last days of my summer vacations. it was seriously magnificent. the trail begins in espenschied - a climatic spa village. trail to the dinosaur cliffs. don't you think the stone formations look like the back of a stegosaurus ? there were quite a few small adits to be found in the forests. of course i climbed into them :) the werkerbrunnen, a well that contains water with carbon dioxide & ferric. the water was used as medicinal water in former times, even though too much of it could damage you. we tried a few sips and it tasted like sparkling blood. it was beautifully overgrown with ferns. we made a longer break here. sitting in the sun was really relaxing. spot timmy, the baby sheep, in the...

frankfurt zoo.

i've been to the frankfurt zoo a few times already, this time i had my parents with me who never visited it before. i guess it's safe to say that they liked the zoo as much as i do. if you want us to show something in your area simply pick out an animal park or zoo and we'd be happy and content for the rest of the day, haha. the lion staying in the shadows, it was a very hot day. i love the playfulness the otters exhibit at all times of the day :) strange little birds walking around throughout the park. i think they're some kind of coot. fennec sleep! howdy! birds of prey generally are really fascinating. these are bateleur eagles. rhino in the sun. sacred baboon family. kookaburras! laughing jackasses ;) spotted thick-knees. nicobar pigeon. sable antelope. ah~ sea horses. this is a stonefish. they are highly toxic! imagine you find this stone-lookalike and then stepping on it. it is ...
