Swiss and proud flatmate to two very silly cats. Once lived in Tokyo and twice in London. Now Zurich-based and after a career in TV finally in a job worth doing: teaching German as a second language to refugees.

Slightly over the top.

Enormous 8 ton multi-tiered golden chandelier made of hundreds of crystal lamps hanging from the ornate turquoise-and-white vaulted ceiling of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, surrounded by arched windows and intricate Islamic geometric patterns.

Golden evening light warms the rugged mountains as white houses glow at sunset in Muscat, Oman.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Warmth #EastCoastKin
Sunset view in Muscat, Oman, showing steep, rocky brown mountains filling most of the frame, lit by warm golden light. At the base of the rock face sits a cluster of white, boxy houses with flat roofs. Long shadows fall over part of the neighbourhood.

Early morning mist over the Wahiba Sands desert in Oman, filling the quiet landscape with a soft, otherworldly calm.

#Scape #EastCoastKin
Wide view of the Wahiba Sands in Oman at dawn, with a pale orange sky above low sand dunes, a faint band of mist near the horizon, and tyre tracks crisscrossing the reddish sand in the foreground.

#AdoorableThursday #DoorsOfOman

Weathered painted door in an old mud-brick house in Oman.
An old wooden door in a mud-brick wall in Oman, painted in faded bands of turquoise, pink, cream and blue. The bottom of the door is worn and broken, with gravel on the ground and large clay pots on stands on either side, lit by soft stripes of sunlight through a slatted roof.

How to load a camel you just bought at the market onto a pickup. #ThingsYouAlwaysWantedToKnow #LifeHacks #Oman
A camel is being lifted off the ground by a harness attached to a hoist, with its legs folded underneath it. Two men in traditional Middle Eastern clothing stand nearby, one operating the lifting mechanism and smiling, the other near a Toyota pickup. The setting is a dry, rocky desert area with hills in the background and a clear blue sky. A camel sits in the back of a pickup.

Reflections on the edge of rock and water.
#BirdOfTheDay #OnTheEdge
An otherwise dried up Wadi in Oman: A white heron stands in a spot of greenery at the edge of a pond. Behind it is a large shrub and a wall of rocks. The whole scene is mirrored by the pond in the bottom half of the photo.

Muscat, Oman: Bright light, soft silhouettes. #BlueSkyArtShow #Bright
The sun sets over the sea, turning the sky orange and throwing the palm trees and people on the shoreline into shadow.

(I know my tinkering with the photo is rather amateurish, but the tree kind of asked for it, so I did my best. 😉)
A small park tree with vivid red, orange and yellow autumn leaves standing beside a bench, while the surrounding grass and trees are black and white - a selective colour edit.

A single small cranesbill flower stretches to the left, toward the source of light. Its shadow is cast on the wall, mirroring the flower.

I grew up in enormous opulence. Here I am, reluctantly allowing the less fortunate neighbourhood kids to share my private pool.

Photo of 4 year old me staring rather sour-faced at the camera while another girl splashes around behind me inside an inflatable pool.

When the moon mimicks the sun and almost succeeds in turning the night into day.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNights
A bright moon over a city landscape with a huge fog bank in the background. Both the moonlight and the very white and thick fog make the scene look like it‘s daylight.

Tokyo, 20 years ago. I‘m sure most of the buildings have been replaced by new ones. But the road? That‘s definitely still there.
#BlueSkyArtShow #TheRoad
Bird‘s eye view of a densly built cityscape with an elevated road cutting through it. Some highrise buildings in the hazy distance.

She can be rather ’in your face’ sometimes, sitting on your belly while you‘re trying to watch telly.
Happy #Caturday!

My first solo bathroom. The loo was mine. The bathtub was mine. Mine alone to use. For the first time in my life I didn‘t have to share it with either family members, flatmates or housemates. I was 33 years old - and had to take a commemorative photo. 😅
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMemories
Small bathroom with a toilet and red seat cover, red toilet brush, and bathtub with yellow tiles and a red shower curtain. A window is above the toilet, letting in natural light.

His fur may be jet black, but his undercoat isn‘t.
A fact he doesn‘t want people to know, as it ’undermines his reputation of The Dark Lord of Zurich’.
