winter is here








here are some photos i took when i was home about two weeks ago. back then it had snowed just a little bit, now the world is covered by a thick blanket of snow.

these days i'm busy buying christmas presents and planning our christmas dinner. it has become some sort of tradition that my sister and me cook a three-course-menu for our family on christmas eve. i think, i already have an idea for our feast...

have a wonderful winter week!

 the last colours of the year








last weekend i was at home and it was wonderful! i met and spoke to so many people, i hadn't seen for such a long time. i drank mulled wine at the christkindlesmarkt in nuremberg, went to the snow-covered woods to collect firewood for our fireplace and finally got to see the baby of one of my best friends. he's just 2 weeks old and everything about him is just so tiny and adorable. welcome on earth, little jakob!

today i show you some photos i took wandering through the streets of munich the week before it started snowing.

 my new room










above you can see some photos of my new room in munich. my room is quite small, but at the same time it has very high walls and bright sunlight is falling through the window most time of the day.

when i moved out of my last apartment i said goodbye to most of my furniture because i had the feeling that it belonged to a different chapter of my life. now i don't own so much but it feels quite relieving. my room is like a blank piece of paper and it's up to me to fill it with lines and colours again!

tomorrow i'm driving back home. i've been so looking forward to this!

 on the market


















in berlin i was used to buy my vegetables and fruits on a market just around the corner. here in munich i am still searching for a place nearby where i can do my weekly shopping. last weekend i went to the famous munich 'viktualienmarkt', which is very high priced and far too crowded. but it's a good place if you're searching for fresh regional groceries and rare goods from italy or france or if you want to walk around a little bit and fill your eyes with vivid colours and shapes...

wishing you a lovely last week of november!

 nymphenburg II














the first thing you see when you have climbed up the narrow stairs to the first floor of 'schloss nymphenburg' is a huge ballroom with dozens of crystal chandeliers, frescos all over the walls, golden painted doors, a floor tiled like a chessboard and lots of light falling through the large windows on the north and south side of the room.

i just stood there for several minutes, totally in awe, looking above, trying to catch the massive space of this room and the thousand details around me. you could easily spend a week in there and still find something new to your eyes. when you visit munich you have to go and see for yourselves!
