Ammersee in November

What a bliss when after a rather rainy and unpleasant week the sun decides to show itself again on a marvellous Saturday! Even better if there is some company to hit one of the beautiful bavarian lakes for a stroll.. the weather was perfect and warm, the wind had pushed away all the clouds, gifting us with a spectacular view to the Alps, and when walking through the forests, the leaves covering the path made this nice rustling sound...
Fun fact: there were several windsurfers -- in November!!! Honestly, haven't been that torn between disbelief and jealousy for quite a while..

El Choclo

I recently got obsessed with this piece of tango music. To distract myself, I browsed the web and found myself surprised by the different versions that exist of it. Everyone presumably has heard it before, but for whatever reason, the 'pop' - versions seem to be much more known than the ones that have real character, real life in them (some of which, admittedly, one can not listen to whilst working - they are too attention demanding).

To mend this 'problem' and introduce you to the real fun: here are the versions of different styles which I found most remarkable.

Libertad Lamarque - female singer

Guitar version

Orquesta de Francisco Canaro - male singer

Roberto Filpo - milonga version

Hungarian violin version

Enjoy!

autumn mood - again

Come to think of it - possibly autumn might be my favorite season. Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy the other ones.. but I simply love the colors and the light which in autumn are somehow softer than usual. Same thing for the rustling noises of leafs everywhere (and don't forget all these golden ones raining down on you like in a fairy tale) and the sweet taste of the air. I even don't mind when the skies are grey; it just makes the golden and red tones shine even more.
