Big Sur – Big Nudes
Finally we made it. To Big Sur’s beautiful coast, sitting at Nepenthe and enjoying the gorgeous view, dreaming of ” The sandpiper” with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton and those glorious days at the Californian coast, when you could meet Arthur Miller and his friends at that restaurant. Many writers, actors, artists, faith seekers, and dreamers … Continue reading
The Science of Hydrotherapy
I am still waiting. Meanwhile. Eva is taking a cold shower in our lush garden. So good. It keeps your skin radiant, opens up the capillaries, flushes the organs and keeps the blood chemistry young and healthy. Cold showers. Did you know that if you let the cold water fall just below the lower lip … Continue reading
Beautiful Break, Still Life.
While Eva from Switzerland is taking a shower in the garden I can show you the apples we will take with us to Big Sur and some lovely flowers, which our dear friend and Yogi Oliver collected on the way to our house to have breakfast with us – before we are leaving. With apple-cinnamon … Continue reading
Nude on a Staircase
The next morning, after those delicious dreams about Coconuts, Pizza and Rose water, Betty’s cousin Eva was walking down the stairs like Ema in Gerhard Richter’s famous photography painting from 1966, looking for something to get dressed. So, we were almost ready to drive to Big Sur, having lunch with friends in the Bakery. The simple … Continue reading
Love takes me to far away places (4): Exciting villages
Glamour, excitement and living on the countryside was not the picture perfect match, so far. But this is changing from now on. First of all: my love and I will be in rural Alsace again this winter. Second: the Mayan Calendar is ending on October 28, 2011. Didn’t get the point yet, right? Lets ask … Continue reading

Love takes me to far away places (2): Lago Maggiore
Bella Italia. In the South of Switzerland. After passing the never ending Gotthard tunnel and heading to Bellinzona. Then make a right to Locarno. Sitting on the market there in August when it gets dark, watching the best films of the Festival at the open-air screening space on the astonishing Piazza Grande. That time it’s hard … Continue reading
Love takes me to far away places (1)
Back from Sunset Blvd and the bubbles of phantasy I went to bed, dreaming of far away places in Mexico (1), in France and Italy – what a wonderful inner and outer journey. This summer. With my love. Like sunset and sunrise. Always. So delightful, so light. Far away and soo close. Like being at home. … Continue reading
Sunset by night
Delicious German bread in the city of angels – that’s like heaven on earth, looking down on Sunset Blvd from our terrace on the top of the world. All the lights there, and memories of Jim Jarmusch’s film “Night on Earth”. I grab my favorite Nikkon and a taxi with no roof, a red-and-blue colored parrot … Continue reading
Bread, beer, cars…
Back home. I am starving after swimming and diving in the sea. German bread, I read, is so addictive that ex-pats and German visitors will go to great lengths to find it abroad. My love is a gifted chef and author with an amazing food blog and was born in Germany. So – I am a … Continue reading
