The Lapidarium in Stuttgart

There are special places even in a great city. Only few minutes away from Stuttgart city and busy life you will find a place you can relax. All noise and hectic are closed out you will find peace and silence.
In a historical park you will find an open air museum. The public Lapidarium shows a nice view about culture and architecture of Stuttgart. More than 200 sculptures and rests of destroyed or knocked down buildings of the city. Italien renaissance gardens have been the model to this unique place. The park was created by a Carl von Ostertag Siegle in 1905. 45 years later the municipal bought it and opened it to public. You can visit and enjoy this park without fee.
When you sit in the gallery on wooden benches the wall behind is full of old ancient fragments and you look into the park listen the fontains there with the fontain sculptures your eyes will circle from statues to the rest of doorbows ... placed like accidentally between old trees some still with mossy patina. Later you walk the ivy paths and step through the door bows like into mystic world to discover more and more sculptures and all is so silent. It is like the trees and the green swallow the complete noise and smog of the city.


inner peace


There are so many places around us we find inner peace.
Maybe only some steps next to a forrest trail and you will find a clearance or a small pond
Maybe only a door to open in a croweded loud city a door leading to a holy place a church, a graveyard. A graveyard is not place you have to fear, but you will find out that all the plants will swallow the noise or calm it down to a far away silent noise.

A place in our forrest
only some steps away from the path
a place with a special atmosphere
you want to sit down to relax and let thoughts pass like clouds
a place so special in the morning sun
sunrays reflex in the water and the green leaves
the only noise is the rustle of some animals in the dry leaves the cover the ground
the chirping of some birds
the plasch maybe of a frog jumping in the water
the humming of a bee
the buzzing of some flies
your senses are awake
to smell the scent of the warm forrest soil, the scent of some flowers
and you feel how you calm down and find your inner peace
we all need so much in our noisy busy world

Plitvice jezzara - Plitvice lakes

Plitvica Jezara

Have you ever been at Plitvice lakes , Croatia?

To see these waterfalls, this amazing artist of nature was a dream of me which come true.

I will not write about the facts, the size and geography you will find details all over in the net.

I will write about my expressions and my feelings there and I choose some pictures I take there to share it with you. It was not easy to choose some out of so many photos I take so maybe I bore you because I add a lot.

I was so impressed when I see the first big waterfalls. The mist in the air, so fresh, so cool, the people they are on the tracks looking like ants in front of these big artist of nature.

The lakes are in an amazing green, like emerald. The water is so clear, you can see till the ground.

All is untouched. The fish in so many sizes and sorts are not afraid, if you would, you could touch them by hands. The water birds also are not shy, built the nests near to the paths. And when you walk through the forests a bit away from the big waterfalls you can listen the birds singing, so many voices and in the background the small sound of the water, bubbling so silent. When you have time to sit down you feel so relaxed.

Next to the big waterfalls you only hear the drumming noise of the falling water, so much power and all around there is a veil of mist, so cool and fresh.

All around there is water, coming out of the rocks, floating down in cascades into the clear lakes.

It is only a dream.

Emerald water invites you to swim, big powerful waterfalls roaring and also small soft waterfalls like showers. Fish you can touch by hands, ducks breeding. And all around so much peace.
