Rainbowdays  
















Again and again its raining but between are amazing moments when the sun shows up through bulgy clouds which seem to be painted on the sky. I am impressed seeing a cumulus running away and a rainbow appears where sun light and rain drops meet each other. Such a special moment I caught -al hamdullilah- on a special place last Tuesday. I was again with my mother and also Steffen in Dresden when she took us to the baroque garden Großsedlitz near Dresden. A surprise for me was I haven’t seen this place before and there are not many places along the Elba river near Dresden which I haven’t visited yet. The garden seem to us to be a secret place cause it was lonely (it was Tuesday late afternoon) but so scenic. Sculptures were standing between cubic bushes and colourful exotic flowers. Under the sandstone sculpture from a greek mythology world or history were a Sphinx, Satyr and Pan, children with baroque shapes (fat children), a man with an elephant hut or a women with a castle on the head for example. Even this kind of gardens use to be very artificial and symmetrical I liked this one cause it has huge paths which seem to continue without end. And the sculptures where laughing, dancing or making music like on a green timeless stage I thought. Sometimes I felt like they are observing me and I guess its a romantic but also scary thing to walk along them alone in the night! See more and Read more and Catch a panorama

Tonight, back in Weimar, pink and green flash and strong thunder awake Steffen and me sitting at the Computer. I walked out and I really enjoyed the electrical storm since months … As astonishingly as weather is these days, I met today a Syrian which is doing his doctor, he is civil engineer and working on project about "Unsaturated soil". His name is Jamal, original from Homs, and he is interested to improve his German with somebody who likes to learn Arabic! What a good idea! Now I have to look in the DUDEN, the German standard book for orthography and grammar cause I have to explain why German language is not necessary logical. But I am so happy to hear Arabic again here and Jamal told me that even the Arabs in Weimar only start their morning with a Qahwa by listening to Fayrouz …
