+ polish architecture
There’s a drunk shadow madly running across the streets of Warsaw, limbs flailing around, and outbursts of incoherent words echo through the night, mere minutes after the last train from Berlin arrives. His two companions follow at a more civilized pace, one searching for a bank to raid, the other keeping an eye out for...
+ the fashionables of Wedding
The Gabels of Berlin make yet another appearance for GabrielDesigns. For good reason too, the wedding outfit is back in the sunlight for Sam. Textured trousers with horizontal pocket cuts and a bold white/blue stripe shirt. The wedding coat was unfortunately stolen but it’s been replaced with a weathered destressed leather piece. The cowl is...
+ sunday brunch
“Pancakes. I need to start with something ordinary. You know…American” she asserts, tossing her dark hair back into the wind. The sharp clip of London english counters the idea of an American brunch dream. “Cafe at Engelbecken?” the sunglasses speak, her face reflected in his shades against a blue February sky. They step out into...

In honor of two recent conversations about snow, photographs taken in March of 2007 from high above Valle d’Aosta, 2,700 metres up. (March is coming up again….) All those on the slopes this season, enjoy!

Abandoning NYC in twelve hours, throwing the hitchhiking thumb in Cap Corse, skiing Zermatt is a blizzard, booking a flight to Tel Aviv, wine tasting in Slovakia, sleeping on night trains to Andalusia – it’s not a 1st class ticket with complimentary champagne but...
+ tuesday dinner
It’s time for another food post! This time Cuisine Wrangelstrasse 5 went for an all vegetarian dish. Slice sweet potatoes and purple potatoes into wedges, then place them into a large pan or baking dish along with garlic and shallots. Rub with huile d’olive and squeeze fresh orange juice over potatoes. Bake in the oven...
+ goodmorning snow
This morning was a flurry of snow, for once I walked to the U-bahn without music, to hear the crunch crunch of snow under my shoes.
+ Quinta de la Rosa
This is a beautifully crafted 10 Year Old Tawny by the leading wine maker Jorge Moreira at Quinta de la Rosa. The grapes are grown on Alto Douro on the banks of the famous River Douro. The port itself has a very intense nose of raisins but a palate that’s very refreshing and balanced; Strong...
+ all things apple
What do prodigious friends bring back from southern Germany for their prodigious friend? Incidentally that would be me and as the recipient, I’ll disclose the answer. APPLE PRODUCTS. Home made and imported from Regensburg, Germany by the Gabels of Berlin, we have here with us this weekend, apple jam and apple juice – which lacks...
