#snowmasslake was the epic reward of a 19 miles hike with 5,115 feet elevation gain, always hiking above 10,000 feet! #aspen @aspenmusicfest 
#hiking in #aspen! First from sunrise at #maroonlake into the snow of #buckskinpass at 12,454 feet (3,796 meters). @aspenmusicfest 
Arriving at #americanlake #aspen at 7:30 AM after a 2,000 feet climb was mesmerizing. And twelve hours later @jeremydenkpiano gave a spellbinding recital designed around the Concord Sonata by Charles Ives at the @aspenmusicfest live broadcasted by @medici.tv. Perfect day 😊🌈!

When my grandfather was a priest in Starnberg, Bavaria, he befriended landscape painter Ernst Haider (1890-1988), then bitterly poor. Here is the painting and corresponding pencil draft “Blick auf Bettwar im Taubertal” from 1942. I remember these from childhood when visiting grandma. Just put them up in my Bavarian home.

Strolling in Santa Barbara’s Alice Keck Park. It used to be the site of “El Mirasol”, a discreet luxury hotel for the wintering New York elite. Austrian-Bohemian novelist Franz Werfel stayed here in 1944, finishing his amazing science fiction novel “Star of the Unborn”. #santabarbara #california #franzwerfel 
Today rediscovered in the attic of my Bavarian family home this huge original painting by Georg Hausdorf (1894-1959), a German painter who fled from the Nazis to the Dominican Republic and lived his late life in New York. 
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Bavaria! 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️
