    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.

    Finally hiking again

    Some weeks, a single day stands out and outshines all the others. While the rest of the rather monotonous days this week didn’t inspire me to take any new photos, lots of pictures were taken on a hike in the mountains.

    Summer days

    Summer mood set in this week. The days got hot and my apartment and I switched into summer mode.

    Rainy Days never say goodbye

    The new week marks the beginning of a new month and the start of the second half of the year. Sunny summer hasn’t really arrived yet, but the alternatives also give reason to be happy.

    A moment of summertime

    For a few days, it suddenly became warm and summery and everything took on that touch of light-heartedness that always accompanies this weather.
