autumn memories










here are some pictures i took on one of my walks a little time ago. seems to be a bit strange to show them to you just right now, because when i look outside the window all i see is fog and snow. tomorrow the christkindlesmarkt in nuremberg will be opened and there are lights glowing in the dark everywhere. christmas season has begun – but not on my blog. well, not yet...

 making marmelade






this autumn i made marmelade for the very first time. it's so easy to do and the results are so delicious that i can't understand why i haven't tried earlier. now there are three different sorts of marmelade standing on our pantry's cupboards: strawberries with vanilla bean, roast apple and plums with a pinch of cinnamon (which i ate today spread on some freshly made scones).

 cornfields








i can't believe how much time passed since the last time i wrote. life was keeping me busy and there is a lot to catch up to. so during the next days i will show you some of the photos i took during the last few weeks.

the days have gotten shorter by now. it's getting dark very early and everytime i leave the house i have to put on my winter coat, my scarf and a woolen hat which i recently pulled out of the back of my drawer. the sun hides behind a thick layer of clouds and the shiny golden days of october are long gone. looking at the photos i took when i walked through glowing green cornfields, makes me feel just happy. wish i could go back to that sunny day.

 regensburg
























some while ago i took a trip to regensburg. my sister has been studying there – i visited her a few times but never got to see the town in broad daylight. i really am not sure why... regensburg is a lively university town, full of colourful houses, chapels, flowers and narrow alleyways. there were so many beautiful little streets and places that i wanted to take a peek at – it kind of felt like walking through a winding ancient north italian town.

 aeg II












above you can see some more photos of the aeg exhibition last weekend. i remember, that it rained heavily outside while i was walking through the hall that housed all the sculptures. actually it has constantly been raining for about two weeks and i'm quite fed up with it by now. can't wait to get rid of all those misty, melancholy clouds and to see the sun again...
