This is the blog and very personal website of Thomas Schürmann in Wuppertal. Feel free to look around! It's about intense travelling – on foot or by bike – about another one of my passions, photographyand my , at the moment, watercolour painting. In the state of play reports I deepen my knowledge.
After the first really autumnal weekend, a quick look at my two gardens. Into the physical autumn garden here in Wuppertal and a look into my box of notes, in which some things have also matured on the subject of autumn in summer.
How I found a reference to an article about Sarah Orne Jewett in the letters of Edward Garnett and John Galsworthy.
A short review of the crime novel "The Lady and the Law" by the Victorian writer William Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889).
Beneath the surface of the sea of vines, the stories float around like wrecks in the oceans, waiting to be discovered. They make Champagne more than a superficial sparkling wine landscape, an adventure to be discovered.
Our trip went from the Abbaye d'Aulne on the Sambre across the northern Ardennes down to Reims in the French Champagne region.
I am Thomas Schürmann — fine artist, researcher, dilettant, baroque and renaissance lover, rooted gardener and woodworker.
I love details and I love getting to the bottom of things.
