Back to Leipzig for Pentecost

Is it already this time of year?! My, time flies. Anyway, I just booked my car (I live in Karlsruhe, here you use carsharing because with the craziness of building the underground and the public transport being this good it'd be madness and thrown out money to own a car.) since Deutsche Bahn is so expensive and unreliable (One week of strike!) these days. 

Anyway, I'm planning to make trips to the Moritzburg, Wörlitz Park and … Well, I will make the best of my freedom with the car. Besides it's Wave Gothic Meeting in Leipzig, so there are a lot of nice people and costumes to watch. Ooh, I'm soooo excited. 

What about you? Anything nice on your schedule? 

Castle gate from a different point of view

This is the gate to the Wolkenburg castle, in case you didn't notice. ;-)

I stayed true to myself yesterday in not photographing people. So if you want to see some of the awesome costumes of the wave-gothig-meeting, you have to look here: http://nachrichten.lvz-online.de/citynews-wgt-picknick/r-detailansicht-galerie-2093-47581.html

However I found out that there is a term for the kind of style I'm going for clothingwise, it's called Steampunk. I love it, I think I finally found my people. ;-)
At least clothingwise, can't say so for the music. XD

A really good Steampunk gallery you'll find here: http://clockworker.tumblr.com/

I even found, that I already have the right earrings, some blouses and shoes for this clothing style. I will overhaul my black bowler hat and then there are the trousers (which I will get in an equestrian shop), the corsets and the rest... Well, what do you think Leipzig has so many gothic shops for and then there are DaWanda and etsy?! I'm really excited about this. Wohoo.

Have a great day and thank you all for your kind comments.

This is now officially a Leipzig Blog!

This morning San's Visual Art - Photography was added to Leipzig Blogs. Leipzigblogs is a collection of (all) blogs from and for Leipzig. So if you want to read what Leipzig thinks and feels, just go to Leipzig Blogs and start to read.

The Wave-Gothic-Meeting is in full swing and I saw some lovely costumes yesterday in the city. But guess what: I had forgotten my camera at home. Well yesterday wasn't my best day anyway. Crappy job interview (Why do companies wish for creative people and when a creative person applies they hide behind oldfashioned thoughts? I don't get this.) and rotten mood afterwards and I also forgot to buy dental floss.

Anyway, the pic above is from the St. Mauritius church in Wolkenburg.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone.

Friday is here, the WEEKEND IS NEAR

Normally I'm not that excited about the weekend, but it so happens that this weekend is Pentecost. And Pentecost in Leipzig means: Wave-Gothic-Meeting. It's the biggest Wave-Gothic-Festival on the earth and I LOVE IT. The positively weird thing is, there is always good weather that weekend. And I love the imaginative clothes and the atmosphere is grand.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Last years wave gothic festival

It was such lovely weather and today we have nice weather too.

19. Wave-Gothic-Meeting in Leipzig - Some Pictures of Today

Having Fun!

"Could you hold it?"

Gothic Family - Yes they are like everyone else. Right after this pic the little girl in the buggy had a fit of rage. Lol.

Another family. Look at the boys feet. ;-) But they certainly have their posture down. What do you think, did they rehearse where to stand?

Look at the old man on the left, his posture says everything. LoL.

I love the atmosphere at this weekend in Leipzig!
Everyone is enjoying the weather and the wonderful clothes. I still haven't fully overcome my fear of taking pictures of people. Even though I even got asked to take a picture of a couple! Well, there are two more days to get used to it.

All pics taken with my Canon Digital Ixus 75.
