Between the years
Those special days between Christmas and New Year… you look back and at the same time wonder what might come, hoping everything will be getting better.
-
Winter solstice week
Winter solstice at last! In contrast to the summer solstice, this dark time of year fills me deep down with anticipation for longer and brighter days.
-
The diversity of December days
I have to admit, I didn’t start the new week very enthusiastically, which had begun gray and dark. I had the feeling that all days consisted of nothing but night.
-
Rules of Life
This week I involuntarily received a refresher course on how life works and that it doesn’t always go the way you want it to. But what you can do is make the best of it.
-
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.
