Eastward I – Leipzig and Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland

September 3, 2017 by nadel&gabel

After our last holiday trip took us to a foreign far away island, we decided that we would like to discover in our summer holiday … other foreign far away places – but this time in Germany! Truth is that even in this small country for us there are still so many ‘blind spots’ that we only have vage ideas of or not even that. „Willst du immer weiter schweifen? Sieh, das Gute liegt so nah.” (J.W. Goethe, Erinnerung) Time […]

Lisbon Love

September 9, 2015 by nadel&gabel

It was already the third time that we’ve visited Lisbon – a city that we’ve both fell in love from the first time we arrived there. It’s unique beauty is just amazing: Hilly narrow streets with azulejo tiled houses, elevadores that climb up the hills and roll them down again, breathtaking views from the oh so many miradouros. Part of nostalgic, part of practical reasons we stayed, like on our visits before, in the small and simple hotel Anjo Azul […]

Mind the fietsers – A city trip to Amsterdam

April 13, 2015 by nadel&gabel

It’s only a few days ago, that we came back from our little spring timeout in Amsterdam. A pleasant spring weather made it easy for us to discover and enjoy this city which is bustling and relaxed at the same time. Sometimes I find taking photographs a difficult thing to balance, especially when travelling. I want to keep memorys, impressions, but at the same time I see the risk to miss out on the experience while concentrating on taking pictures. […]

Turné i södra Sverige I – Swedish city life in Stockholm and Uppsala

August 30, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After some silence that moved into this place during the last weeks, I am back again … with some (first) pictures from our “turné i södra Sverige” (tour in South Sweden). Our trip started and ended in a city – starting point was Stockholm, final destination Uppsala … this blog post is dedicated to these two swedish cities. (Although we’ve been to the west coast as well we skipped Gothenburg, but I am sure this city is worth a visit, […]

Into the light – Côte d’Azur

May 23, 2013 by nadel&gabel

There’s much sayed about the clear and soft light at the Côte d’Azur that makes the colours pop – believe everything you’ve heard, it is perfect right! There is a reason that this coast is called the “blue coast” – the blue of the sea that ranges from dark blue to bright turquoise is stunning and is topped by a (most times) bright blue sky. The vibrant blue colours are contrasted by the warm terracotta colours of the houses as […]
