Feuerläuferin

After a week in front of the computer, I desperately needed some exercise today.



I'd always wanted to see Blutenburg Castle in the morning light, so I took public transport across the city. How beautiful it was when the sun bathed the wintry Blutenburg in soft morning light. The lake in front was still

On the last evening of our short stay in Dresden, I met up with my friend for dinner in the Neustadt district. This time we chose an Indian restaurant. It's so wonderful to be able to pick up right where we left off last time; that's what true friendship is all about.



We'll see each other again in six

Another gray day shrouded in fog. So today I was deliberately looking for some color in the day. What better way to do that than to watch the street artists at work?



I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. It was absolutely fantastic, and I was amazed by everything I discovered. Suddenly, the

It snowed last night, this morning the sun shone from a deep blue sky, it was frosty cold, and I didn't feel like hiking, so I grabbed my cross-country skis and strolled into the East Park to do a few laps. Many others had the same idea, and so it was a lively scene of cross-country skiers, walkers

After that freezing cold night, my first stop was the East Park to refill the bird feeders so the many little feathered friends and the squirrels would have something to eat. Afterwards, I took another stroll through the park and watched the first ice skaters professionally clearing the ice of snow

On New Year's Day, I spontaneously signed up for this hike, and it was definitely the right decision to participate this year.

My starting time was 8:15 a

The last day of the year is sunny, so I set off on my favorite route. The sun shines from a deep blue sky, making the snow sparkle. How wonderful it is to be able to say goodbye to the old year with a slightly longer walk. It reminds me of the many hikes I've done and also gets me in the mood for the

After the goose went into the oven late in the afternoon and the sun finally broke through the high fog, I took advantage of the break in the clouds for a short walk in the East Park. I refilled all the bird feeders and watched the coal tits busily pecking at the suet balls. They were quite close and

Today we took our time to stroll leisurely through the Dresden Striezelmarkt and the adjacent Christmas markets at the Frauenkirche and in the Stallhof. This allowed us to admire everything in daylight, during the blue hour, and in the evening's glittering lights. What fascinated me most were the beautiful

A sunny day with a view from our vacation apartment directly onto the Spitzhaus in the Radebeul vineyards lured us to a short hike along the Saxon Wine Trail. The path led partly through the vineyards, partly above them, and partly below them. This gave us constantly changing views of the vines and the
