Sailing in the seas. In 2015 we sailed from Ipswich (England) to Helgoland - Cuxhaven - Kielcanal and Laboe. Our ship was an Oyster 56. It was a great experience, which you can watch here in german. In May 2014 we were sailing in Croatia for the first time, where I tested a Jeannaeu 53. Our tour started from Marina Castela near Split and brought us to the Kornates. You can follow the trip on the logbook in german language. Or at the english sites. To the english site. Subscribe to RSS feed.

Byzantine Art & Architecture
Byzantine Art and Architecture. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Reflections and new Byzantium Perceptions. The iconoclasm controversy was actually a very interesting topic because I was aware prior to this class that the followers of Islam were iconoclasts and at the fall of the Eastern Empire many religious images were either destroyed or covered with plaster. It just seems amazing that during the middle of the Byzantine era, where icons were aplenty in every structure, they became an issue of debate. It is ha...

Reflections on Byzantine Art and Architecture
Reflections on Byzantine Art and Architecture. Friday, July 18, 2008. Wandering the Grand Bazaar. So when I thought of the Grand Bazaar, I had visions of the Disney movie Aladdin. I envisioned, wrongly, people plying their wares like individual infomercials calling out features of their products in five languages and so on. Well, I was partially correct, but mainly wrong. . That I went to the flea markets in. In preparation for coming to the Bazaar, and they laughed. While hard bargaining is not my forte...

Thoughts on Byzantine Istanbul
Thoughts on Byzantine Istanbul. Thursday, July 17, 2008. The answer is “yes, anytime.”. Sunday, July 13, 2008. The Mosaic Museum of the Great Palace. They were outdoor mosaics, and each one was a floor mosaic that was meant to be walked on. It is hard to imagine that people once walked on these beautiful and intricate pieces of art. Although this was how the pieces were meant to be enjoyed, in its present museum presentation visitors have to walk along a platform above the mosaics. The City of Istanbul.

Istanbul's Byzantine Legacy
Friday, July 18, 2008. End of an Era. Prior to coming to Istanbul, I only had a vague idea of what the term Byzantine meant. It seemed to conjure images of a far away ancient place very different from my own home. The term Byzantine was often used to describe things such as the US government, which is highly complex and confusing. Really, the only time I had really heard the term Byzantine was in the poem "Sailing to Byzantium.". Thursday, July 17, 2008. Yedikule Fortress and the Byzantine Walls. The emp...

Zachary Conquers The City
Zachary Conquers The City. I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Byzantium, I hardly knew ye! I think the thing I never grasped before coming to Istanbul was the extent to which you have to understand Constantinople to be able to understand Byzantium. One example of that propaganda being played out in the city is the above image of Emperor Constantine (IX) Monomachos, the Christ, and Empress Zoe. It's a bold statement about the position of the Emperor...

Thursday, 14 November 2013. Monday, 11 November 2013. Rest In Peace Little Willow. Saturday, 15 December 2012. I've enjoyed losing myself in a creative pursuit and when it is accompanied by marathon Buffy episode watching then all the better. I hope that in the new year I will actually start making some of these dresses. I have had a big clear put of my wardrobe in preparation for the influx of new clothes, wishful thinking I'm sure. Wednesday, 21 November 2012. Top Ten Autumn Essentials. Finally no autu...
