Summer in the City

2010-06-25T14:59:00.003+02:00

eating out is the best you can do in the summer

An evening with a good friend brings back lots of memories...

some of them good.. and some of them very good :-)

Belated..

2010-01-06T16:10:00.001+01:00

Season's greetings!

Sorry....

2009-11-11T16:32:00.003+01:00

This is the reason for my silence...

As soon as I am settled in my new appartment,

I will be back with my camera!

Promise!

I would like there would be more sundays like this one.

Thank you Dana ^^

Amedeo Modigliani in Bonn

2009-08-03T19:03:00.009+02:00

Kah-Bonn was the perfect destination to spend a perfect day

And a little bit of this wonderful day traveled back home with us

An evening with Joss Stone

2009-07-14T09:24:00.007+02:00

mesmerising

amazing

great voice

beautiful

unique

thank you, Joss, for having spent the evening with us!

Favorites..

2009-06-28T15:26:00.002+02:00

... of all the flowers.. I like them best!

There should be more breaks like this...

2009-06-24T16:41:00.010+02:00

Arriving in Paris and being greeted by Woody Allen

is more than nice

Beside meeting the Parfumés,

I took the opportunity to visit the W.G. Sebald Exhibition in the Goethe Institut

Funny that we changed that evening after the exhibition

trains in the Gare d'Austerlitz

A quiet moment at the Quai de Seine

tranquility within a hectic city...

Having dinner at the restaurant Zango

Sunset over the Seine

The museum Quai Branly (in the shadow of a certain tower :-))

hosted a very unique and wonderful exhibition:

I was in heaven....

Cloud Catching

2009-06-20T17:09:00.002+02:00

I'll take a short break and will be off to Paris for a few days..

A weekend in Lille

2009-04-19T22:31:00.010+02:00

Taking a walk through the old parts of the city..

Part of an art installation through town

The Opera - by night or in daylight - just beautiful!

Another art work, part of the event Lille 3000

Thanks to the Parfumés for another wonderful weekend

Happy Easter

2009-04-12T14:35:00.001+02:00

Vel'oh

2009-04-06T09:18:00.004+02:00

Not such a bad idea..

.. to take some trips in town on bicycle..

.. this one could be the one for me..

.. sadly I tend more for the sport you can buy in this shop (Alinéa ;-))

Cadmus et Hermione

2009-04-02T14:51:00.006+02:00

Don't hesitate to enter these doors..

... there is some magic going on..

... at least I was under a spell!

Sadly the last opera for this season.

Can't wait for the next season to begin ;-)

Meeting in Baden-Baden

2009-03-28T22:49:00.006+01:00

Another exhibition at the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden

But the main reason for this trip was meating someone,

someone special,

thanks to Dana for this wonderful moment,

looking forward to the next one!

Our way home was enchanting ..

.. couldn't possibly be otherwise after such a day ;-)

You can definetely say it's Spring, when...

2009-03-21T20:16:00.007+01:00

... trash bins are in blossom..

... flowers pop out wherever they can find a glimpse of sun..

... it's time to think about sitting outside..

... it doesn't matter to queue for some sweet refreshment..

... the "Kinnekswiss" is getting crowded!

Sunny day in Paris

2009-03-16T22:53:00.011+01:00

An exhibition...

.. a moody place to eat...

.. a nice walk under a blue sky...

.. and some great bookshops -

what do you need more for a perfect day?

Ah yes - the perfect company: Thanks to the Parfumés

Can it be...

2009-03-14T17:57:00.003+01:00

Can we trust the first signs??

Definitely! You can call it Spring ;-)

Inside the MUDAM

astonishingly you are allowed to take pictures

sadly I realized it too late

I will come back..

Death in Venice

2009-02-16T13:57:00.006+01:00

Last week the opera Death in Venice by Benjamin Britten took place in our theatre

I am still enchanted.....

Catching the sun in the winter..

2009-02-01T00:32:00.000+01:00

isnt't always easy...

Sunday morning, 11 a.m.

2009-01-25T15:50:00.002+01:00

Best thing to do: cinema ;-)

Details in town

2009-01-17T22:36:00.006+01:00

A Sunday in the country..

2009-01-11T17:02:00.008+01:00

Care to join me for a walk...

Focus

2009-01-10T18:38:00.005+01:00

Instead of presenting you my hometown, I sometimes focus on the strangest things.. sorry for that, but photography is getting me into new dimensions

Head in the clouds ;-)

Frozen wishes...

2009-01-03T16:41:00.006+01:00

Fortunately the temperatures are for the moment opportune for this kind of art...

Wishing on a star..

2008-12-31T23:56:00.001+01:00

Whatever your wishes may be...

I hope they will come true

Happy 2009 to all of you!

Last Minute Shopping

2008-12-20T19:22:00.008+01:00

Hopefully you have given some serious thoughts...

.. on things you want to offer...

.. and are not forced to go home...

.. with some of these ;-))

Happy Holidays!

At last....

2008-12-13T14:05:00.006+01:00

.. some decent atmosphere in the city - the Town Hall

.. a shop which somehow mixed up Orient and Occident ;-)

.. a flower shop in a fancy way

.. a rather classical style.

Regardless of how - I wish you some sparkling moments!

Somehow...

2008-12-07T16:18:00.009+01:00

..nobody is in the mood to do some creative decoration?!

Hopefully until next Saturday someone will come up with a good idea, otherwise, I will not get into a festive mood myself ;-))

The festive season...

2008-11-29T21:11:00.006+01:00

.. has already begun..

.. and the most important part is..

.. the food ;-))

No visit at the Christmas market without a serve of potatoe pancakes!

End of a season...

2008-11-23T13:56:00.009+01:00

Although we did have yesterday our first snow, I would like to share with you my last pictures of the autumn season...

Family of Jazz

2008-11-16T15:26:00.009+01:00

For the moment you can have a look at the exhibition Family of Jazz by Raymond Clement at the Abbaye Neumünster

Yes, SHE has been in Luxembourg!
Ella Fitzgerald, 1975 Festival d'Echternach

And beside this exhibition.. a visit at the Abbaye is always worth the detour..

“The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the windowpanes.” (*)

I'm back...

2008-11-09T23:56:00.004+01:00

Usually I put my pictures into my webshots album - but this vacation was different from the others and therfore there are not enough pictures to start an album.. perhaps I will post some more tomorrow..

Take care...

2008-10-31T17:58:00.003+01:00

... I will try to catch a few sunsets along the sea in Brittany!

Back in 10 days.

Arbres et Lumières

2008-10-26T12:59:00.012+01:00

Rather excited when I heard about this event a few weeks ago - but looking at the realization I am a bit disappointed. Nevertheless it was fun taking a walk at night through town...

A turning christmas tree hanging upside down is not quite my idea you could expect from this event.. but luckily we are used to this kind of mediocrity ;-)

if you would like to look at other pictures of this event - HERE

Autumn in Town..

2008-10-18T18:53:00.006+02:00

Just one more entry of my beloved season ;-)

Getting into some black and white..

2008-10-11T17:12:00.007+02:00

The fog takes away almost all color - but at least on the first picture they are still meant to be there ..

°

I just love this park.. even in black and white..

This is for my viewing pleasure.. because I am so fond of Autumn ;-)

An evening at the movies...

2008-10-08T22:29:00.003+02:00

If you get a chance to have a look at the

new Woody Allen

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

go and see it ;-)

Remembering someone...

2008-09-19T10:16:00.006+02:00

The Dead

The dead are always looking down on us, they say,

while we are putting on our shoes or making a sandwich,

they are looking down through the glass-bottom boats of heaven

as they row themselves slowly through eternity.

They watch the tops of our heads moving below on earth,

and when we lie down in a field or on a couch,

drugged perhaps by the hum of a warm afternoon,

they think we are looking back at them,

which makes them lift their oars and fall silent

and wait, like parents, for us to close our eyes.

Billy Collins

A Sunday in Baden-Baden

2008-08-10T23:13:00.012+02:00

A museum..

.. exhibition with sculptures...

.. a city center

.. beautiful houses..

.. a theatre

...more than one reason to spend a refreshing day in Baden-Baden

Street Animation

2008-08-09T17:36:00.007+02:00

I just caught a glimpse of what was going on today in the streets of Town...

I didn't went to Paris because of the Eiffeltower - but because of her: Camille Claudel

The exhibition was held at the Musée Rodin and because you weren't allowed to take pictures within, I took some in the gardens of the museum

A walk through Saint Germain des Près

A quiet moment at the Jardin du Luxembourg

Art & Light in Hesperange

2008-07-12T16:08:00.012+02:00

Hesperange, town next to Luxembourg City, has changed its park into an "exhibition" with sculptures and lights.

You can have a look at it here too

PUBLISHED!

2008-07-09T10:54:00.003+02:00

You are probably right - getting pubished in Luxembourg isn't too hard.. but nevertheless it feels damn gooooooooooood ;-)

Roude Léiw, huel se!

2008-07-05T15:05:00.004+02:00

This banner will accompany the biggest cycling event in the upcoming three weeks throughout France.

Good Luck to Andy, Fränk and Kim!

Summer.... in the City

2008-06-21T19:56:00.007+02:00

Not quite Central Park ;-)
but the 'Kinnekswiss' (King's meadow) is the most beloved place when it comes to Summer Activities in "Town"

Everything depends on the right means of transportation ;-)

Different kind of shopping...

2008-06-14T16:10:00.003+02:00

Not interested in buying clothes or shoes,

but shooting pictures in a historical building

(sorry -the other pictures just didn't turn out good enough

for my blog.. so .. you'll have to wait until next Saturday

to see more of my beloved town ;-))

Truly,

2008-06-07T15:51:00.009+02:00

madly,
deeply
in

love

with

books!

"Are you an artist?"

2008-05-25T15:00:00.011+02:00

was the question of the owner of the restaurant near the castle of Clervaux, where I took some pictures after visiting the exhibition "Family of Man".

"Then you can perhaps take a picture of my tomatoes as well" was his propostion after I replied "yes" to his first question.

So - here they are ;-))

If you happen to visit Luxembourg one day - don't miss this!

If you want to know more about Edward Steichen and the exhibition - please have a look here (in french)

Eating outside is the best thing I can imagine to feel relax!

View at Clervaux

Sadly....

2008-05-18T09:55:00.005+02:00

...even the best times have an end.

As you can guess, I have brought back a lot of pictures with me

You can have a look at them here:

Parc Oriental - Maulévrier

Etonnants Voyageurs 2008

Côte d'Emeraude

Well deserved vacation...

2008-05-01T13:42:00.002+02:00

I had prepared a different picture to let you know that I am on vacation, but there has been a problem.

Nevertheless, I think this is the one that will express as well what is going on in my life.

I am on vacation for the next two weeks.

So, take care

See you soon

To get ready...

2008-04-27T20:35:00.008+02:00

...for even better sunsets..
...at my beloved place..
...called Brittany,

...I have chosen some of the past sunsets...

...taken in Luxembourg ;-)

Mmm...Mmm... Märtchen...

2008-04-19T11:25:00.009+02:00

The background of this fair is a religious one

(description can be found here)

like always in Luxembourg.....

.. but the current outcome has a lot to do with food -

like always in Luxembourg ;-)
Do you care for nougat, roasted almonds or cotton candy?
Hmmm.. this is just for me.. a childhood memory!
I dreamt of fishing those little ducks the entire day
but was only allowed to do it once in a fortnight -
that's what I call getting childhood nightmares!

Some color in town...

2008-04-12T17:00:00.008+02:00

Some of these flowers seem to attract the strangest birds ;-))

Spring delayed

2008-04-07T11:53:00.007+02:00

I am not sure what happened...
...but there must have been a mix up ;-)

Definetely the barbecue will have to wait..

..as well as getting your laundry dried in fresh air

A walk....

2008-04-05T15:15:00.005+02:00

..in the neighbourhood of The Tunnel

Altrimenti

2008-04-01T13:41:00.009+02:00

By accident I came across this place near the "Rousegärtchen"
Combination of Litterature and Café
is Heaven on Earth for me.
Wouldn't you like to have a seat?
Unfortunately only italian books
(good for my purse ;-))

My apologies

2008-03-30T18:25:00.003+02:00

I found two very nice comments about my pictures - but unluckily my head was in the clouds and instead of clicking 'accept' I destroyed them. Sorry for both of you - it was not my intention to not let you 'into' my blog.

Perhaps I can apologize with another picture of a spring scenery???

More than a glimpse...

2008-03-29T15:52:00.010+01:00

Nobody can deny it...
..spring has come into town...

..and even if nature is ruluctant...

..shopgirls know already...

..the colors of the season ;-)

Easter Weekend in the Auvergne

Moulins
The 'Grand Café' in Moulins

Taking a walk through the old parts of Moulins

A walk through Vichy

No journey without the official sunset

The way home was unluckily not so funny..

but I made it!

On to the next reunion of The Parfumés ;-)

Happy Easter

2008-03-21T12:33:00.005+01:00

I wish you a lovely weekend...
... I will spend mine in..

... lovely France!

Rainy days...

Within a week of rain, you can either drown...
...or get yourself into some creative..

I lost a city

2008-03-15T12:01:00.004+01:00

In the poem "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop you can read the line

"I lost... a continent"

The fog made me think that I might have lost a city....

One Art

by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
