munich | schlachthofviertel I




















the area around zenettistrasse is a part of munich, that doesn't look like munich. there are a lot of bricks and industrial buildings and - since the place is sort of munich's meat market - things that you don't get to see much often. but it's also one of the city's cultural centres. behind every corner a surprise is waiting, a trailer park, huge paintings and colourful graffittis.

next time i'll show you more!

the car in photo #6 looks a little bit like a giant solero ice cream, don't you think?

 maple leaves


everytime i see maple leaves, i have to think about jens lekman for obvious reasons. i really like his music. it is so tragic and funny at the same time - it always makes me smile.

however, there's another song that really grew on me during the last weeks. i never thought i would like a taylor swift song. but i do and it's because of mr. ryan adams. i sing along to it secretly when i sit in my suburban train in the morning. such bittersweetness.

 faces of autumn












the days have gotten shorter, leaves come tumbling down beside me when i walk on the streets and the world is about to loose its colours. i have this urge inside me to spend my evenings with tea and a good book or inside the comforting dark of a cinema hall. i started a list with lots of warm soups and stews i want to cook and i look forward to the christmas season already, to its many christmas fairs and to hot mulled wine warming my fingers and my soul.

during the last weeks i saw many birds in the sky flying to some warmer place somewhere in the south, just to return home in a few months. please have a look at this video. i found it a while ago. it makes something inside of me jump and leaves me amazed everytime i see it.

 bolzano II




















time is relative. some days can seem like weeks when you enjoy what you do and what you see. i came back from south tyrol with tons of memories and the feeling that i had been away for a long, long time.

seeing the photos of my last day in bolzano makes me think about new places to go. i can't wait to travel again and see something else. the world is wide and wants to be seen.

 bolzano I




















from the top of the mountains to town.

i made these shots on my very last day in south tyrol. my train ride back home was scheduled for late afternoon, so i had some time left for a last day trip. as always i was up early in the morning, opened my window and heard the rushing of river eisack flowing in front of the hotel i was staying at. i enjoyed the best breakfast with homemade bread and a platter of tyrolese cheese and prosciutto before i left to catch my bus to bressanone station. it's not hard to travel, when there are so many lovely views in front of your window. a short train ride later i was standing on bolzano's streets. and although these photos make bolzano seem like a calm town full of green, the truth of the matter is, that it is full of people and full of life.
