dc GHOST







In the small hours of the morning when silence is all over... quiet like the flight of an owl...
at the Castle of the Eisenbach is the best time to meet ghosts. 



When we moved to the Castle a full dozen of years ago
a foreign ghost lived in our living room...
a
female, sadly ghost.
Although I asked her if she goes to her family, please?



...because there are many ghosts of our own history...
 and she went - Thank you, dear foreign ghost.

So we are living in love and peace with our own ghosts... mostly... Family... you know?



 This week's theme of the drawing challenge is GHOST.
In German the word 'Geist' means ghost and mind...

Please have a look at the amazing space of dear Norma, our host, to meet more ghosts.
I will appear at your spaces soon :)



Have nice days... these days...!

and thank you very much for your sweet b-day wishes ♥ makes the youngest happy!








No. 81... dear Norma is our host with GHOST

Sonnentag / Sun Day




An einem sonnigen, sehr warmen Sonntag steht die Königin von der Burg am Eisenbach
 am Herd und kocht. Die Balkontür steht offen, die Wäsche trocknet draussen und eine sanfte Brise streicht durch die Bäume, lautlos lösen sich die Blätter.

At a sunny, very warm Sunday the Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach
 stands at the stove and cooks. The door of the balcony wide open, the washing dries outside and a gentle breeze sweeps through the trees, silently comes loose the leaves.








Nebenbei blättert sie in einer alten britischen Elle Decoration, als plötzlich:

En passant she skims through an old elle Decoration mag, as suddenly:




ein Hubschrauber auf der Uferwiese landet. Die Kinder laufen runter 
und sehen, dass ein Patient ins Krankenhaus gebracht wird und, dass die Besatzung danach erst einmal Eis isst.
Wenig später fliegen sie wieder weg.

a whirlybird lands on the waterfront. The kids runs outside and view, that a patient is carried into hospital and, that the crew is having an icecream afterwards. 
Soon after they fly away again.








Diese letzten Tage waren für mich wie eine Auszeit
 von dem nasskalten Herbstwetter. Ein warmes Geschenk. 
Nun wird wieder kühler... macht nichts!

For me these last days were like a time-out from the cold and damp autumn weather.
A warm present. Now its getting coolish... never mind!

Please stay tuned for the new theme by our next dc host dear Norma!

dc LEAVES




King Autumn has started to paint the leaves at the Eisenbach
and in the neighborhood






 In the wonderful sunlight I take pictures of different shapes and




 similar struktures... doesn't matter in which size





 I love lime trees. 
Now, when its leaves turns golden and in springtime when I can't wait for its bloom and scent. 



If coming closer and closer




  and closer to a single leave one can find a really wonderful construction of elements from epidermis, mesophyll and vascular tissue.



So my water colour showes a cross-section of a foliage leave under microscope.

Our host Sabine, Miss Herzfrisch 
has taken a rake and you can find more leaves at her blog.
Have a colourful weekend!





Sabine, Miss Herzfrisch, is our host for this weekend's dc No 80, October the 20th and 21st with LEAVES

For the weekend at the 27th and 28th of October Norma is our host.

Nachschlag / Second serving




Ich habe noch einen Nachschlag vom Besuch bei meiner Mutter. 
Hier ist zum Beispiel ein Ausschnitt von einem Bild, das meine Schwester gemalt hat... 
Ich liebe diese Kraft!

I have a second serving from the visit at my mother.

 Farbenspiel und Muster überall... Play of colours and patterns all over...














Mit meinem Handy habe ich mal wieder auf dem Weg zur Arbeit fotografiert.

Once again I've taken some pics with my phone on my way to work.







Gedanken zur Zeitlosigkeit und der großen Veränderung des Stadtteils, indem ein Teil meiner Familie lebte und ich heute arbeite.

Thoughts about eternalness and the big alteration of the district where a part of my family lived and today I work.
