Happy New Year!

We are wishing you and all of your loved ones a wonderful new year, full of laughter, love, fun and beautiful moments.

I know we are running a bit late, but Chris is nearly drowning in work and I had a dental surgery last week from which I recover much slower than I thought I would. So anyway, for January it's just me running this blog, but I'll do my best. ;-)

The entrance of the church of Wolkenburg.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone.

Wolkenburgs suspension bridge

Work takes its toll

Yes we are slacking, thing is I started working again two weeks ago. So when I get home I don't really want to see my MacBook anymore. 

However I still wish you a wonderful new week. 

This is the church in Wolkenburg. I just love my lomo fisheye, such cool picture without much work.

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

The end of the tunnel

I took this in Wolkenburg under railbridge. Lovely isn't it?


++ And now a bit of shameless selfpromotion, new products in my DaWanda-Shop. ;) ++

This is an A5 drawing of mine, I called it "Farbliche Leichtigkeit" (colourful lightness).

If you want to buy it, you'll find it here:
http://de.dawanda.com/product/20178693-Farbliche-Leichtigkeit
(15€ + shipping)

The second new product is a set of three A4 drawings. I called the set "3 Farben Grün-Blau-Schwarz" (3 colours green-blue-black).

If you want to buy the set, you'll find it here:
http://de.dawanda.com/product/20179373-Drei-Farben---Gruen-Blau-Schwarz---Set
(33€ +shipping)

Yeah, I know I have to work on the titles. However these are original drawings and when do you get something like this for such a price like this?!

++ End of the selfpromotion! ++

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend everyone!

The beauty of a wooden castle entrance

I took this picture in Wolkenburg (Saxony) at their castle. I have an even better picture, but that I will post on my own blog http://the-man-made-project.blogspot.com/2011/06/castle-gate-from-different-point-of.html.

The Wave-Gothic-Meeting has blown over without me taking even one picture of those amazing people and their costumes. Yeah, you could say I stayed true to my nature with not photographing people. However I found out that there is a term for the kind of style I'm going for clothingwise, it's called Steampunk. I love it, I think I finally found my people. ;-) At least clothingwise, can't say so for the music. XD A really good Steampunk gallery you find here: http://clockworker.tumblr.com/

Instead I went on a guided boattour last evening, which was entertaining and eyeopening. I know this is a bit mean to say, when Chris is so homesick, but I really love Leipzig and it becomes more amazing every day. Leipzig has been one of the richest cities in Germany before World War II. We have a huge waternetwork and it's becoming even bigger. They already put the watersigns up for a way that will be free from 2016!!! Yes, in 2016 you'll be abled to paddle from the big lakes in the south all the way through the city up too the Auenlake in the north. How amazing is that?! We've got amazing architecture all throughout the city, our wetland woods are going right through the city (10 minutes of walking from the city center!), cultural festivals galore (Bach, Wave-Gothic-Meeting, this year we have a Mahler Festival) and slowly we are gaining speed when it comes to business too. I tell you loud and proud (for I was born and raised in this city) LEIPZIG IS TRULY AWESOME!

And I really want to help my city to get back on track and help it get ahead of cities like Munich and Stuttgart.
