🌞🌜Time for another photo so that I have not only a snow photo and a summer photo next to each other 😊 this one is actually from a video I took for a bards themed video that somehow got stuck in the void. (It will come - promised!)

Two years ago we made a road trip through Scotland. This place felt like another time. As if time was standing still. The air smelled of salt and seaweed and when I walked this castle, I imagined how they standing there centuries ago glancing at the endless sea.

Happy 2026 and thank you for being here! I see a lot of new faces around, so maybe that’s a good opportunity to introduce myself a bit!
Hi I am Mina! Melina actually like in Melinoe from Hades II. That mentioned I am a huge Fantasy Lover and my favorite movie is the Lord of the Rings.
I am a passionate writer and my big goal is to write a fantasy novel! Actually I wrote some already (1 and 2 half and a some short stories), but this time I want to see it published! Uagh thats really scary to admit!!
When I don’t write I am an illustrator, photographer, DMing a homebrewed DnD table and I also make some videos on my small YouTube channel. My real life DnD class would be the bard college of valour (you know… storytelling and so) and I have a thing for medieval and special music instruments. I have a fashion design degree and moved to berlin for this, where I do live since over a decade now and I really don’t like it! Never really did. It’s just too crowded and too far from nature for me. (So hopefully things are changing!)
The thing I love in berlin though, are the friends I found here. They are also the Players on my DnD round.
I may am an anxious person, but I try my best to be more brave than I am afraid! And because of this I love to do things that scare me the most! (Like doing poledance, cutting my own hair 12 inches shorter or publishing a book. Ahhh still scary!!)
If you read this far, tell me a bit about yourself in the comments if you like! 💗

Listen - I needed to move away from the autumn vibes to winter, so it is boring wintergreen now (I had nothing else at hand)! I can’t believe I even didn’t post something halloweenish! I was soo badly burned out to be honest! I hope this year I am able to make it better! I think I learned some lessons. The first one I had to learn the hard way - I don’t overplan myself anymore. Now I just have to stick to this!

Can you believe it is so long ago that you took those magnificent photos of me? But I definitely let not another autumn pass by without showing them!

I am feeling the urge to knight up my life - being bold but gentle, taking action but know when to rest. Fighting against those old beliefs that do not serve me anymore (and that never really did). Bringing joy in the lives of others! somebody else?

Can’t believe, I didn’t show you this beautiful snowy one! Spring is right around the corner, but at least one snowy picture for now!

I really really miss the ocean! And apart from that I really miss creating! So lets have at least on those! by @mina_the_minstrel

Ich kann nicht fassen, dass es bereits fast ein Jahr her ist, seit wir in Schottland waren! Und ich muss die Bilder immer noch aussortieren und bearbeiten. Als wäre die Zeit eingefroren. Aber dann ist auch wieder ganz viel Neues passiert! Immerhin passt jetzt wieder alles thematisch zur Jahreszeit! 🌿

Als wir nach Schottland kamen, habe ich „den Zauberwald“ gesucht, den ich dort vor Jahren gesehen hatte. Wir fuhren also die Trossachs ab und wie Zauberwälder so sind, blieb er versteckt vor den neugierigen Augen der Sterblichen. Dafür wurden wir aber mit einem wunderschönen See belohnt.
