E I came back to Hamburg this morning and now I can celebrate my first New Years Eve in the city. Some people advised me against going to touristic places like the "Kiez" or harbor and I think they are pretty right about it. Since I notified my change of adresse last month I'm a real Hamburger now - and no I didn't became a burger, I'm actually a citizen of Hamburg. Punctual to New Years Eve I have a little retrospect of the year 2015 for you. This year I had the feeling everything is passing by pretty fast, maybe because so many things changed. I don't even remember what I did last year on New Years Eve. Last year or to be precise on 01/01/2016 I wrote a preview for my year 2015 - which you find here -. In this post I described pretty good how my year in the end actually looked like: I wrote my Abiture, I made a language course in Cape Town and I started to go to university. I didn't know that I would go to Hamburg, but I'm finally not a fortuneteller. For 2016 I don't want to make any forecasts except that I will - hopefully - still go to the university and write some good exams. Apart of that we will see what fate will do. I also don't have any good resolutions for the next year, but continue saving the world and learning can't harm.How was your year 2015? What do you wish for 2016? And did you be more creative and thought of some good resolutions?
D Außerdem habe ich noch die beiden Lieblingsbilder des Jahres 2015 von Janine vom Blog Katzenauge für euch "geklaut". Und sie gefragt, wieso es ihre Lieblingsbilder sind.
Links: "Das Bild entstand an dem letzten Tag unseres Sommerurlaubs in Kroatien, wir waren gerade auf dem Weg ins Restaurant und konnten ein letztes mal, den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang bewundern. Die ganzen drei Wochen hatte ich mir schon vorgenommen, die bunten Häuser zu fotografieren, nur irgendwie habe ich es nie getan. Am letzten Tag habe/musste ich dann die Chance dazu ergreifen."Rechts: "Die Fotoidee dazu ist mir schon einige Zeit im Kopf herumgegeistert, jedoch war die Melone immer schon weg, bevor ich sie fotografieren konnte. Dieses Mal hat es jedoch geklappt und ich habe mir Plätzchenausstechformen und einer Wassermelone herum experimentiert."
E Besides I have the two favorite pictures of the year 2015 from Janine from "Katzenauge" for you. And I also asked her, why they are her favorite pictures.
Left: "I made this photo on the last day of our summer holiday in Croatia, we were on our way to a restaurant and it was the last time we could enjoy the beautiful sunset. The whole three weeks I wanted to photograph this colorful houses, but somehow I never did it. On my last day I had to grab the chance."
Right: "I had this photoidea for some time in my head, but the melon was always eaten before I could photograph it. This time it worked and I experimented with cookie cutters and a watermelon."
D Zu guter letzt Wünsche ich euch allen natürlich noch einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!E And in the end of this post I wish you a great start into the New Year.
