🇬🇧 For those of you wondering, I’m still here. But dropping off from the face of the Instagram world every now and then just seems to be the way I function. 🤷‍♀️⠀
⠀
To be honest, the last few weeks have been a strain. With so much uncertainty going on both in the world and in my personal life, so many plans canceled, it was hard to keep focus, find sleep, and not get anxious about the whole situation.⠀
⠀
But I’m finding myself again and am currently working on an exciting web project. Which basically means I’m in webdesign/dev mode, with long nights of coding and not much brain space left for images and writing.⠀
⠀
(I’m also procrastinating on the last two days of my #30DaysOfCovid project, because I’ve got something extra special in mind and need to muster up the courage to do it. So bear with me, I’m hoping to get it done in the next couple of days.)⠀
⠀
So how are you doing? Are things getting easier wherever you are on the planet? How are you using your time? And how are you feeling? I really want to know… ❤️ ⠀
⠀
Image is from one of those rare early midsummer mornings in Iceland when you have clear skies and no wind at all. Standing amidst this vast lagoon and having the horse approaching just felt totally surreal…⠀

🇬🇧 Something’s different here today, right?!⠀
⠀
Yep. I’ve been posting Icelandic horses exclusively for some months, but I feel it’s time to share my other favorite travel and photo tour destination with you: Andalusia. Because in just a few weeks, the next photo trip under my guidance should have taken place, which had to be postponed of course.⠀
⠀
I can’t quite describe what I feel when thinking about this place: ⠀
⠀
The warmth, the lavish nature, the endless wild beaches, the friendly people, and of course the incomparable Spanish horses… they have captivated me in a way no other place has, and I hope that this image conveys a little bit of that magic to you.⠀
⠀
Pictured are Gustavo Artillo Linares and his stallion Melero XV, doing their own kind of magic. Gustavo is not just an incredibly talented rider, but also one of the finest horsepeople I know. Besides that, his family breeds high quality dressage horses and raises them in the most natural way possible. If you want to see how a horse should grow up, head over to @cortijodesgarrahatos and send them some love 🙂⠀
⠀
On a sidenote: We are 2.000 people here now! So thanks for YOUR support, your comments, likes and shares… it really means a lot to me.⠀
⠀
I’ve got a little something coming for you, so watch out! 🙂⠀

🇬🇧 Horse of the Vikings: You who has carried the Norse gods… whose virtues have been named in countless songs and poems… who has endured hardships and survived catastrophes. Without you, the settlement of this beautiful island in the North would probably have been impossible. ⠀
.⠀
You’ve come a long way. No wonder you look proud.⠀
.⠀
It is sad that in the wake of current events, the Landsmót Hestamanna had to be postponed. But I’m sure that in 2022, the biggest celebration in honor of this unique breed will be all the more special for it. ❤️⠀
.⠀
Did you have to change travel plans already? Where would you like to be now if you could choose?⠀
.⠀

.⠀
🇩🇪 Pferd der Vikinger: Du, der die nordischen Götter getragen hat… dessen Talente in unzähligen Liedern und Gedichten besungen wurden… der harte Zeiten durchgestanden und Katastrophen überlebt hat. Ohne dich wäre die Besiedlung dieser schönen Insel im Norden wohl unmöglich gewesen.⠀
.⠀
Du bist weit gekommen. Kein Wunder, daß du stolz aussiehst.⠀
.⠀
Es ist traurig, daß aufgrund der Lage das Landsmót Hestamanna verschoben werden muß. Aber ich bin mir sicher, daß das größte Fest zu Ehren dieser einzigartigen Rasse dafür 2022 umso besonderer wird. ❤️⠀
.⠀
Mußtest du bereits Reisepläne ändern? Wo wärst du gerade am liebsten, wenn du es dir aussuchen könntest?⠀

🇬🇧 Boys will be boys… 🙂⠀
⠀
Like these two testosterone-ridden young stallions here, meeting again for the first time after months of training. Fortunately, they both know the rules by which to play, having grown up together in a herd.⠀
⠀
Which do you prefer? Stallions, mares or geldings? I like all horses, of course, but there’s something about stallions… apart from their obvious beauty and power, they make you prove yourself the most.⠀
⠀
---⠀
⠀
🇩🇪 Jungs halt… 🙂⠀
⠀
So wie diese zwei testosterongeschwängerten jungen Hengste hier, die gerade nach Monaten des Trainings zum ersten Mal wieder aufeinandertreffen. Zum Glück beherrschen beide die Spielregeln, da sie zusammen in der Herde aufgewachsen sind.⠀
⠀
Was magst du am liebsten? Hengste, Stuten oder Wallache? Ich mag natürlich alle Pferde, aber die Hengste sind schon etwas Besonderes… abgesehen von ihrer Schönheit und Stärke muß man sich ihnen einfach am meisten beweisen.⠀

🇬🇧 "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"⠀
– Franklin D. Roosevelt⠀
⠀
I wonder what will come from all of this. What parts of our old realities we will adopt into our new ones and what we will leave behind. After all, disaster has always been the birthplace of change. It’s just the way things go.⠀
⠀
So, without trying to downplay the impact this pandemic has on our lives, I hope we will be able look at it as a huge reboot for our system, giving rise to positive change. Because crisis breeds creativity, and however hard our struggles might be at present, they force us to grow in ways nothing else ever will. ⠀
⠀
Now is the opportunity for us to create the change we seek. We mustn’t waste it.⠀
⠀
What change are you hoping to see in the world?⠀

🇬🇧 “The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself. If he sees nothing within, then he should stop painting what is in front of him.”⠀

🇬🇧 Yep. I’ve also got an image that suits the „social distancing“ metaphor:⠀
.⠀
Standing amidst a herd of feral horses and observing carefully, you'll notice that herd dynamics are about so much more than just leaders and followers: There’s the watchtowers, the guardians, the agitators, the protectors, the nannies and even the peacemakers.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
And then there’s the loners. The outlaws, not caring about what everyone else is doing – at least temporarily. Like this white mare here, standing as a rock in the solitude of her own space. Maybe that’s why I felt so connected to her: Because sometimes, I feel like I'm the outlaw, too. And for a long time, I was made believe that something about me needs fixing. That I need to behave a certain way in order to belong. But I never managed to adopt certain elements of human choreography.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Only in recent years, I have come to terms with living a life at the edge rather than in the middle of the community. With one foot in the human realm and the other in the more-than-human one. Being aware of not just the man-made voices and artifacts, but also of the much wider goings-on which so many of us are oblivious to. And at times, even playing the role of a mediator between these two worlds.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
And in this moment of silent dialogue with the white mare, I was reminded that I’m completely fine with that :-)⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
What’s your role in society?⠀

Thanks to everybody who opened up under my last post. Very much appreciated! I find it comforting that, despite our physical isolation, we can still connect online and share our thoughts. 🙂 ⠀
⠀
I woke up to the most wonderful song of a VERY creative blackbird. I have never heard anything like it. Unfortunately, the bird has moved on, but I think it’s amazing how this time of reclusion and quietness heightens our senses to the small wonders. And for that I’m grateful.⠀
⠀
Here’s a derpy image for a change, from our visit to a feral herd. Because feral horses have humor, too 😄⠀
⠀
Have you noticed any changes in your perception or awareness while this is going on (no, I don’t mean substance-induced)?⠀
⠀
P.S.: As you can see in the stories, I have started my 30 days project. More on that soon…⠀
⠀
---⠀
⠀
Danke vielmals an alle, die etwas unter dem letzten Post beigetragen haben. Es beruhigt mich ein bißchen, daß wir uns trotz der physischen Isolation immer noch online austauschen können. 🙂⠀
⠀
Ich bin zu einem wunderbaren Lied einer SEHR kreativen Amsel aufgewacht. Ich habe noch nie eine so singen gehört. Leider ist der Vogel weitergezogen, aber ich finde es erstaunlich, wie diese Zeit des Rückzugs und der Stille unsere Sinne für die kleinen Wunder schärft. Und dafür bin ich dankbar.⠀
⠀
Hier mal zur Abwechslung ein dödeliges Bild. Von unserem Besuch bei einer „wilden“ Herde. Weil Wildpferde nämlich auch Humor haben 😄⠀
⠀
Hast du schon Veränderungen an deiner Wahrnehmung oder in deinem Bewußtsein festgestellt, seit das Ganze vor sich geht (nein, ich meine keine verbotenen Substanzen)?⠀
⠀
P.S.: Wie du in den Stories sehen kannst, habe ich mein 30-Tage-Projekt gestartet. Mehr dazu bald…⠀

🇬🇧 As we’re navigating this pandemic, the reality starts to sink in that we’re not just returning to life as we know it after a few weeks of staying at home. At least it does for me.⠀
.⠀
I’ll be honest: Yes, I am scared. Not so much about the disease itself (although, as we know now, it can be harmful to younger and healthy people as well), but about its longterm consequences on economics, politics, on our society as a whole.⠀
.⠀
And with a big portion of my plans for the year canceled or postponed, I am worried about my future as a small business owner and an artist, too. I can’t do most of my work, and am unable to focus on much anyway. It’s like being lost between an old reality that’s been shattered and a new one that is yet to be formed.⠀
.⠀
Because what will be the new normal? What of the things we have taken for granted all our lives will remain, what will have to change? And how will we cope? Nobody knows.⠀
.⠀
The only thing that’s for sure is that life always finds a way. And so will we, hopefully.⠀
.⠀
So in order to keep some kind of routine, I’m doing something very unfamiliar to me: I'm starting a 30 days project, using just myself as a subject. I’ve got a few ideas already and am going to share the results in the stories.⠀
.⠀
How are you feeling about it all? Tell me in the comments, because I want to know.⠀

🇬🇧 Sequel to last post:⠀
⠀
From when the herd of 350 horses were bolting past me, some within arm’s reach.⠀
⠀
The riders have arrived at collecting point and positioned themselves on top of the surrounding hills. A few words are exchanged between the persons in charge, then the gate is opened for the massive herd to start their journey down to the valley. The older ones know what to do, the younger ones just follow.⠀
⠀
For security reasons, most of the riders watch the spectacle from a safe distance, but with a kind of special permit, I was able to experience the action right there. Made my heart skip a few beats for sure! 🙂⠀
⠀
These images resulted in a printed story in Cavallo shortly after, one of Germany’s biggest equestrian magazines.⠀
⠀
Would you like to stand there in the middle of the herd?⠀
⠀
---⠀
⠀
🇩🇪 Fortsetzung zum letzten Post:⠀
⠀
Als eine 350-köpfige Pferdeherde an mir vorbeidonnerte, manche davon zum Greifen nah.⠀
⠀
Die Reiter sind am Sammelpunkt angekommen und haben sich auf den umliegenden Hügeln positioniert. Ein paar Worte werden zwischen den Verantwortlichen gewechselt und schließlich wird das Tor für die Herde geöffnet, die ihren Weg ins Tal antritt. Die älteren Pferde wissen, was zu tun ist, die Jüngeren folgen einfach.⠀
⠀
Aus Sicherheitsgründen schauen die meisten Reiter aus gebührender Entfernung zu, aber durch eine Art Sondererlaubnis konnte ich das Geschehen von mittendrin festhalten. Keine Frage, daß der Puls da hochging… 🙂⠀
⠀
Diese Bilder ergaben eine gedruckte Story in der folgenden Cavallo, einer der größten Pferdezeitschriften Deutschlands.⠀
⠀
Würdest du gerne so in der Mitte der Herde stehen?⠀

🇬🇧 From the horse roundup at Laufskálarétt. Every year, over 300 riders ride up this valley to meet the herd of around 350 horses who have spent the summer in the mountains. The herd has been collected the days before and is then escorted to the valley in order to spend the winter close to the farms.⠀
⠀
Among many epic things you can experience in Iceland, this event to me is one of the most intense by far and an absolute bucket list item.⠀
⠀
I’m collecting ideas for some kind of online live event. So what do you want? Photography Q&A, portfolio reviews, travel stories, something else…? Tell me in the comments and I’ll see how we can make it happen 🙂⠀
⠀

⠀
🇩🇪 Vom Pferdeabtrieb Laufskálarétt. Jedes Jahr reiten über 300 Reiter dieses Tal hinauf zur ca. 350-köpfigen Herde, die den Sommer dort in den Bergen verbracht hat. Die Herde wurde die Tage zuvor eingesammelt und wird dann zu Tal begleitet, wo sie den Winter in der Nähe der Höfe verbringen.⠀
⠀
Von den vielen fabelhaften Dingen, die man auf Island erleben kann, ist das hier für mich mit Abstand eins der intensivsten und man muß es einmal erlebt haben.⠀
⠀
Ich sammle gerade Ideen für ein Online-Live-Event. Was würdest du gerne sehen? Fragen und Antworten zur Fotografie, Portfolioreviews, Reisegeschichten, etwas anderes…? Sag’ es mir in den Kommentaren und ich schaue, wie wir das hinbekommen 🙂⠀
