Happy Memories for Chris and Moi: 7th post - Sunset over the Markkleeberger See

Since Chris asked me to post a few more Leipzig photos this week because she is so homesick for Leipzig, I created this post series for her. I hope this comforts you a bit.

The Markkleeberger See again. This time on a beautiful and calm evening in August. Chris and I just walked along the shore, talked and took pictures. Pure relaxation.

Happy Memories for Chris and Moi: 6th post - Nietzsches Backyard

Another Sunday. This time we went to Röcken, to visit the grave and memorial of Friedrich Nietzsche. It was quite interesting and we've had perfect conditions for taking a lot of pictures. This is a way to the church of Röcken and quite literally a part of Friedrich Nietzsches backyard.

Happy Memories For Chris and moi: 1st post - Lollipop Trees

Since Chris asked me to post a few more Leipzig photos this week because she is so homesick for Leipzig, I created this post series for her. I hope this comforts you a bit.

This picture shows a part of Chris and my favourite bycicle round. These Sunday tours always contained the happiest moments in 2010 and 2011 for me. I would say we definitely do this when you come back to Leipzig in March, but chances are that by then I will have left Leipzig. Life is crazy.

21 years of FREEDOM, 22 years since the Pan-European Picnic

Today is a very special day for us Germans. We celebrate the 21st Anniversary of our reunion. 21 years of freedom, that's more than half of my life. ;-)

I celebrate this day with sending out postcrossing cards all over the world (to Taiwan, Russia, Brazil and the UK to just name a few of the countries) just because I have the freedom to do so. And with posting this picture of the memorial place of the Pan-European Picnic at the border between Austria and Hungary. I've been to this place just a few days ago and it definitely moved me. I'm really grateful for the freedom that I enjoy now. The freedom to study what I want to study, the freedom to travel wherever I want to go to and to read whatever I want to read, the freedom to speak my mind, the freedom to be me and to live unharmed.

Even today, this freedom can't be taken for granted. There are still many countries in this world where this is still not possible. And I hope for the people in those countries that they will find the strength to fight peacefully (if possible) for their rights and succeed in it and become free people. We've seen tremendous changes this year with the Arab Spring. I'm really happy for the people who are now free and I cross my fingers for them to make the ongoing changes for the better in their countries peacefully.

PEACE and FREEDOM to all of HUMANITY.

One year ago... Can you believe it?

I took this pic on one of our Sunday bike tours. It's hard to believe that this was one year ago.

Is there something, that you can hardly believe was one year ago?

Man vs. nature 0:1

This is the trainstation of Wolkenburg. Last train stopped years ago.

Have a great new week everyone!

Along the creek

Beige and blue

March on the Darss. No fresh green grass has appeared yet. It might look warm but it was freezing. It's currently freezing in Leipzig too. 12°C or 53°F in July, what a bad joke.

Have a great new week and brave the weird weather.

Fresh Green

Something I'd love to see.

Is it just around the corner?!

I took this photo during my vacation in March. I loved these wooden paths, somehow they made it even more interesting.

However this picture is also symbolic for my current life. I'm going my way and always hope that after the next turn I'll finally reach at least one of my goals. As I write this (Tuesday evening, did I mention that I HATE Tuesdays?!) I'm in a bad and slightly forlorn mood (which is always happening on Tuesdays, even when I was on vacation in Dublin!). Luckily tomorrow is another day and I can make headway towards my goals. Someday I'll reach them, it's just a matter of time and persistance. Now, where is my chocolate?

Big Island - *happy sigh*

On our way to Mauna Kea we stopped here. Isn't island truly amazing?! I really would like to go back there! Have a fantastic new week everyone.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE EGYPTIANS: YOU MADE IT REALLY HAPPEN!! I SEND YOU ALL MY BEST WISHES, GO GET YOUR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM!!!

Back on my Way

Ahh, the beauty of this picture and it means a lot to me. I'm back on my way after a paradigm shift in those last three days. Happy Friday everyone!
