Everyday gray
The colourful past week was followed by days that were gray and marked by everyday life and unforeseen events. At least I was able to finish the preparations for the exhibition.
-
A rush of color
December began with a potpourri of colors and impressions, as if to compensate for the beginning of the darkest weeks of the year.
-
The joys of ordinary days
Even ordinary days have little surprises waiting to be discovered and a reminder, that life is what you make it.
-
From fall to winter…and back
A song of praise for November, which can be anything but the dark and gray month we generally think it is.
-
Shaped by life
Many things that look the same at first glance are not. Individualism and diversity are a basic principle of our world order. Anyone who goes through life with open eyes can recognize this everywhere.
-
Above the November gray
There are weeks when the days flow slowly and sluggishly, like the November fog in the valleys of Switzerland. Knowing that there is sunshine above makes the gray moments easier.
-
Little escapes
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and escape the daily grind. I did that to myself twice this week.
-
Colorful days
Everyday life in Basel caught up with me this week. Thanks to the mostly sunny weather, however, it was blessed with some colorful highlights.
-
Autumnal diversity
A fairly quick flight catapulted me from New York to Basel and from the warm and sunny to the gray and dingy side of fall.
-
Manhattan in fall
Autumn is definitely my favorite time to be in New York. This week, which was actually a rather normal one, has reminded me of that once again.
-
Time to let go
After three years, we gave back the little house on the beach and enjoyed one last moment of summer.
-
Gray and wet days
Autumn gets serious in its first week and replaces the sunny summer weather of the last few weeks with rainy and cloudy days. Time for art and work.
-
Another cold and the start of fall
Another cold, albeit much milder than two weeks ago, has largely thwarted my plans for this week. There’s nothing you can do about it, even if it feels extremely unfair when it happens again during this precious time for me in New York.
-
Birthday week
Everything that makes summer in New York in one week. From surprising moments on the beach to productive days in the city. It’s my perfect birthday week!
-
Sick in paradise
After all the summer months in Basel, the time finally came again this week for relaxing days at the beach. Despite a cold, I enjoyed every single one of them.
-
In between
A week in Basel between the time spent in the Swiss mountains and the big city, characterized by lots of tasks, preparations and very hot summer days.
-
Allegra!
I spent a wonderful week hiking in Müstair and enjoyed immersing myself in a completely different world where I would have liked to stay even longer.
-
Week of changes
It’s nice when everyday life gives you a change. A short break from the hustle and bustle of the usual days. This week brought several changes, each of which I really enjoyed.
-
Summertime
The weeks in which I complained about too much rain and cool temperatures are long forgotten. At the moment, I wouldn’t mind a cool rainy day in between.

Hello August!
The swifts have returned to Africa, but August has arrived. And with it, another week of summer.
