Sydney Opera House

A few days before we left Australia I went to see one last time the Opera House. I love this building and I took my Leica with a black and white film in it to shoot a few shots of her. Well, little did I know that it would take me almost 1,5 years to fill up that film. It was so nice to see these snaps. What a great building!

Last day in Byron Bay

On our last day in Byron Bay we had it was grey and overcast, which didn't stop people going for their surfs, swims or walks at the beach. I enjoyed how different the beach looked when it was not a blue and sunny sky.

At the beach

Summer has arrived in Europe and we spent the last two weeks in Copenhagen and Berlin. Will's parents are visiting and we took them two both places which were also Matilda's first trips. She has been an amazing travel companion. While the photos still on the roll of film and not developed yet you will get to see a few more snaps from our trip to Byron Bay last year. Hope you are well!

An evening walk

One evening we went for a walk at the beach which was close by. The light was just incredible and there were quiet a few more people also enjoying the last sun rays  of the day.

More Byron Bay

In the last weeks (while becoming and being a mum) there hasn't been much time for taking photos of my life here. When I get a few minutes I sometimes scroll through the posts of this blog of the last years or photos on my computer and travel back in time. Its nice to remember moments like those few days in Byron Bay. The warm sun on the skin, sleeps at the beach, finishing a book...The photos help me to travel there within my little daydreams I have at the moment and I hope they help you and your mind to travel a little bit as well.  :)

Pool time with friends II

Some more photos of a wonderful Saturday!

Pool time with friends I

I have written many times about one of my favourite spots in Sydney: Wylies Baths.

And so it was no surprise that we tried to go and swim in the pool and hangout out there a bit before we left Sydney. One hot Saturday morning, we went with our great friends Mel and Polo. We found a nice corner in the shade and spent a few hours, chatting, reading & refreshing in the pool.

It's those days I think of a lot.

Cool Blue

Another one from Coogee beach on a hot Spring day. I remember it was one of the first warm days and the beach was packed with people enjoying the cool water and the warm sun on their skin.
I wish I could walk into the picture and go for a nice swim

Random

Four random shots I took in Sydney, I like how the colours fit together somehow and how every shot is transporting memories with it - one reason why I love photography so much.

#1 milk crates waiting to get picked up on our old street, I saw them most days when I walked to work and always loved their colours
#2 My walk to work was a beautiful 40 minutes walk through the botanic gardens along the water, through the city and crossing a bridge. This one I took one day on my way there.
#3 Waratah's at our local market in Potts Point, I adore their colour and shape. Such a beautiful flower.
#4 A typical Saturday lunch at our house in Sydney

While typing this it is raining and very windy here in Hamburg. The trees outside our house are moving intensely and the sky is grey. The little person is sleeping on my lap since an hour and it is one of the best feelings. It has been a very quiet day and we are enjoying this. We already had a few nice Sping-ish days and I am so excited and look forward to going out for long walks and away to the sea for the weekend and to wearing t-shirt and sandals....

Coogee Beach

Oh Sydney, I miss you, your amazing light, rock pools, beaches and different shades of blue.

Calm Clovelly

When I got the roll of film back and looked through the photos I had to go back and look at those two pictures a few times. I really like how calm they are. Especially when you know how crowded Clovelly beach can be on a hot Summers day, but on this Spring day the lifeguards are not busy and just chat while walking along the water and also just a handful of people are enjoying the first warm rays of sun at the water.

Spring has also arrived here in Hamburg and I am taking photos here and there and hope to show you some of them soon. Everything is a little more slow these days :)

Bondi - on a sunny Spring day

A few weeks before we left Australia I went to Bondi to do the coastal walk one last time before our move. I have walked this beautiful walk so many times and it just never gets old. It is such a stunning thing to do while being in Sydney. So here are a few photos from Bondi beach, the famous Icebergs pool and just a few of the wonderful view of the water and sky.

The last weeks here in Germany have been quiet exciting. Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know that I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl Matilda Lotte last Sunday. It was such an intense and wonderful experience and we are enjoying the first days with our new family member very much. It is so nice to slowly get to know each other and to realize that we are now three and not two anymore.

In other news, Will and I are also trying to write more regularly on our little food (project) blog Mostly Saturdays.

Spring

Spring has finally arrived here in Sydney, the sky is so blue & the sun is getting warmer each day warming up the sea for many ocean swims....
A few photos from the blue sky in Newtown, the fantastic Brickfields Bakery & a walk to the water close to our house....

Enjoy!
