Déjà vu – yet different
After I thought I had overcome my cold, the cold started all over again at the beginning of the week and shaped the rest of my daily routine.

November Days
I always have an ambivalent relationship with the cold season. Some years I hate it, the cold and especially the darkness. The gray, dreary days and endless nights. Other years, however, I don’t mind it at all.

From the big city to my small bedroom
How quickly everything can change. After starting in New York on Monday, the week came to an end for me in my bed in Basel.
-
A week to myself
While the weather in Basel is rainy and windy, I’m enjoying another sunny week in New York before my return journey.

The city that never gets boring
Due to the visit of our friends from Germany, I have explored many places this week that are normally on the tourist agenda. Including places I didn’t know yet. I realized once again how diverse New York City is.

Changing Pages
Here it is – a new breeze in my life. From rainy Basel to sunny and warm New York. Leaving is at the same time a coming home and always feels so good to change perspective.

Enriching ordinary days
Finally a more versatile week in terms of weather and a week that feels more like October than the previous ones. Also, a week of preparation and a week in which I realized how beneficial little escapes from the daily grind can be.

Caught up in everyday life
Another unexciting week that has come and gone without leaving much of a trace. With everything else that’s going on in the world right now, I have to admit that it’s not the worst thing if everything is still the same at the end of the week as it was at the beginning.

An Alpine Monday escape
After two jam-packed weeks with many tasks that I could mark as done (and more tasks that were added), I started this week with a hike in the Bernese Oberland.

About bringing order into chaos
Colors, shapes and structures…the components that make up our environment. Be it in nature or made by humans. This week’s photos of things that inspired me deal with this topic in architecture and nature.

Endless Summer
Basel welcomed me after my return from the mountains with another hot summer week. Still packed with impressions of last week’s hiking tour and a small cold, I started into rather sluggish days.

Snow in August
It’s an open secret that life gets interesting whenever you step out of your comfort zone. That’s what I did this week, going on a 6-day hike that brought an incredibly diverse August to an end and a fresh September to begin.

August Heat
Completely in the sign of the heat, this week was characterized by a rather sluggish course. The fan was my constant companion and I was actually never surrounded by temperatures below 30°C/86°F. Except while swimming in the Rhine.
-
A very warm welcome
A relaxed flight back to Switzerland, which welcomes me with a heat wave. Due to this, a week of slightly sluggish but satisfied days, in which I can fully absorb the heat of summer again.
-
The power of goodbye
A week completely in the sign of the farewell. First the goodbye to the beach life at the beginning of the week and then the experience of the last days in New York, before the return trip to Basel.
-
Island Life
An entire week on Fire Island. Days that glide along carefree, like the ocean waves on the beach. And the rest of the world so far away. Switching off once more before the end of what could have stayed like this for a while longer.
-
Just ordinary life
There are weeks where not much happens and they are quickly told. And they also happen in such exciting places as New York or Fire Island. This week is one of those.
-
The (almost) perfect Fire Island life
This week I was caught up in the rhythm of island life. Surrounded by water, the rest of the world seems infinitely distant there. I found to myself, lived just for the moment and became open for new, creative ideas.

What a difference a day makes
My summer in New York is always a time of extremes. An alternation between the hectic cosmopolitan city, with its impulsive energy and bustling life, on the one hand, and the seclusion of Fire Island on the other: peaceful nature, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, without cars, without stress, just sand, ocean, sky.

From Basel to Paradise
Then it was there, the week of departure, the week of Adieu Basel and Hi there New York. In the end everything went very fast and I found myself physically faster in my other reality than my mind could follow first.
