Birthday in Odenwald

13:48 Unknown 0 Comments

Yesterday was my birthday, and we decided to celebrate it in some pretty villages on the border of Hessen, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and in Darmstadt because of the Hundertwasser house. In this post I would like to share with you the first part of our trip in Erbach and in Michelstadt. The weather was really nice but chilly though we found many sings of the spring. A lovely day after a long winter!

Hundertwasser in Vienna

13:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Some years ago we visited Vienna and of course the amazing buildings of Hundertwasser. I really love architecture, and he is one of my favorites besides Gaudí and Ödön Lechner, to name the "Hungarian Gaudí" too. Hundertwasser was thinking quite different from other architects. He hated the straight lines, and he called his colors Dunkelbunt, which means dark colored, like the colors you can see so bright in rainy days. He had a particular lifestyle too living in a boat for years, and his quotations are interesting. He wanted to go back to the nature, and his houses have always some details of living trees and other plants on the top of them for example. In this post I would like to show you his house in Vieanna and the thermal power plant decorated with his unique design.

Nature forms in black and white

In this post I would like to show you something different. A year ago we visited the interesting lakes Titisee and Schluchsee. The atmosphere of these pictures became a bit melancholic but I would like to share with you this shapes and forms of dead trees, stones and mushrooms, because this belongs to nature too. I hope you like them.
