April - Ten Photographs and a List
Looking at April’s photographs I’m seeing a lot more color than in the previous three months. There’s nothing to surprising about that, as Berlin is notoriously grey for many months of the year, but the pops of blue, yellow, green and red this (last) month feel almost desparate.
“Let it be spring! Give me warm weather! I need Sunshine!”
I’ve been looking forward to spring more than usual this year. Even though the actual temperatures were relatively mild, it’s felt like a metaphorically long, cold winter. Hibernation has been happening and I could not be more ready for a reawakening. I need to see something bloom, feel a new start, lean into the prospect of growth.
Ten things about these ten photographs (not in proper order)
The Heimatmuseum, open Sundays between 15-17h.
Vegan schnitzel was eaten here. The mustard sauce was the winner.
There’s a place in Berlin Spandau known as „Klein Venedig“, or „Little Venice“.
The removal of facade decorations from German buildings began in the early 1900s and ran through the 60s and 70s, driven by everything from architectural philosphy, the desire to hang advertising, crappy Nazi aestheics, and basic economics.
The pigment Indian Yellow was purportedly made by feeding cows mango leaves and then collecting their urine.
To quote an LLM, a door without a wall, „…becomes a philosophical object that challenges our perception of boundaries and transitions, representing liminality—the space between states.“
Let them trees bloom!
„FCK“ works great when you’re referencing the classing RUN DMC logo. Otherwise, spell it out.
If the chicken restaurant had its way, this door would never be closed.
Versorgung.
