Encounters in the dark forest

… or better: When an angel arrived… guided by the warm golden Light of heaven, touching the ground, spreading the wings. Preporing her clothes for the upcoming tasks. Whatever that will be. Even the wild wolf is standing still, looking, Will the wolf be the new companion of the angel ?? Who knows …

The red wonder

While running around thru the tress, thru the garden of Pillnitz near Dresden, one has to keep his eyes open, as always. And suddenly this little red thing came across my way. So small yet so powerful and with such striking red leaves. It made a fantastic green/red contrast. SO what could i do ?? Yes, take a picture of it..

Have a landscape

Just to give my eyes a different kind of visual food i confronted them with trees, green grass and such stuff. I found it in Pillnitz, near Dresden. We made a steamboat tour to the beautiful palace of Pillnitz and the fantastic garden installation. There forest and its garden are stunning. If you ever have the chance to visit it, do it !

Teide

If you ever have the chance to visit the island Teneriffe, do not miss Teide National Park. It is a fantastic vulcano landscape. Go there and if you are lucky, catching a slight cloudy day you have to pass the clouds to reach the top. Slow down in the cloud area and enjoy this spooky atmosphere. Just like i did. Wait for a while, for the best light, perhaps you will get the lucky kiss of the sun breaking thru the clouds… enjoy.

Breakfast in Tuscany

What is better than an Italian breakfast in Tuscany? Sitting in the garden, the first rays of sun through the branches of trees break seeing the flareghosts in the lens? This (croissants here already in the stomach) and a large espresso ….

Have your camera ready… always !

Dance with me …

kweide — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 07:22:13 +0000

Dance with me in this hot, golden light of beginning dusk. Touch the sky, feel the emotion, feel the power. Thats what this tree tells. And you would be foul not hearing what it says. So sit down, watch the gentle move f its leaves in th golden light of beginning dusk, the late afternoon, see its arms reaching for the sky, touching heaven, embracing the sky, connecting Mother Earth and Father heaven. Embrace it and dance with the tree…establish an emotional layer between you and the tree. Let it work.

Where the dream begins

kweide — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 17:39:24 +0000

Sitting in between all this mighty old Olive trees, smelling them, touching their skin, that is the moment, that is the place where the dream begins, where emotions start jumping thru your body, the moment when meditation starts. Giving ideas, feeding your brain with visions, with creations. That is the moment when you start to see the scenery thru your heart. Press the button, let the emotions go, they will lead you to a wonderful experience. So i took this picture, knowing, that it will be only a starting point for a new piece of art work for my Olivetree series. Feeling the soul of the trees, see they slow dance

Another day in Tuscany

kweide — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:51:33 +0000

After the incredible experience with Olympus in Zingst, I needed a contrast of emotions. So we went to Tuscany, Italy, more precisely to Reggello Sant’Agata, region Florence. We rented a room from “I Bonsi” :) Well, that was a real surprise. An estate of a special kind. Our small room had about 65 square meters size, located on two levels and located in a tower of the building. In the middle of nowhere, no traffic, no noise, pure nature, some peacocks running around freely, visiting us from time to time :)In the evening it was pitchblack, no light, just BLACK at night. And yet the next delicious pizzeria was only 10 minutes by car. Who dares at night only with car light corridors to cut into the darkness, to drive on narrow winding roads :)

An enormous place, with about 140,000 olive trees

When we traveled to Zingst we drove thru an amazing landscape. WInter was still there and active. Snow and ice all over the the land, covering everything, building a mystical atmosphere where only the trees shined thru.
