Smily street art in Neukölln, Berlin
Mailbox full of Peace and Love (street art in Panierstraße, Berlin Neukölln)
When we look at the news today we might easily believe that humans are just about war and destruction. And some even think it would be best to erase humans off the globe. Well I strongly believe the world is what we want it to be and that we must remember that most people want peace and love. We must not give in to fear and hate.
It starts with every single one of us. Try to be nice to people around you. Try to improve the world with a smile, by planting a tree, making art, writing some music, donate money to people who protest and peacefully fight for our rights and our planet or join them, try to eat less meat, don’t buy a fossil fuel car, switch off lights you don’t need, do not buy plastic crap you don’t really need, boycott evil companies like Nestlé, Monsanto, Bayer or Shell, hug people more often, do not buy cheap clothes from places like Primark or bottled water that was transported thousands of miles.
Ask yourself, when you die – what have you done to make this world a little bit better?
I wish you loads of Peace and Love – not just for 2017.

Waiting at train station Schöneberg, Berlin
I love when the sun comes out and makes everything instantly look cinematic. Especially in the winter times when the sun never rises very high and thus creates dramatic background light, silhouettes, shapes and shadows. The perfect conditions for black and white photography. I literally cannot stop taking photos then.
Neukölln stay(s) dirty!
Graffiti on a house wall in Rixdorf area of Neukölln
Dirty corner at Hermannstraße station in Neukölln, Berlin
Having lived in Neukölln a few years I can confirm that it is in many areas a dirty place. A part of me feels it adds to the charme and undergroundy authentic vibe of the more and more hip district in the South West of Berlin. Another part is sad and angry that people chuck their rubbish everywhere disrespecting our environment.
The writing “Neukölln bleibt dreckig!“translates as “Neukölln stays dirty!“ I see it occasionally written on walls in the city; sometimes with Berlin, Kreuzberg etc. instead of Neukölln. I understand it as a angry cry for people who are scared of gentrification which is “cleaning“ up more and more areas and making the rents go up and up and thus taking away the home districts aka Kieze of people who cannot afford to live there any longer.
“Unsere Viertel – Unsere Straßen“ – “Our quarter – our streets“
The question is if these writings will in any way stop the gentrification or if it adds to the area being seen as cool and undergroundy and therefore attracts even more rich, boring people who want to feel cool and undergroundy.

Work, shop, consume, die!
Work, shop, consume, die – an anarchists message
These are the words sprayed onto the wall of a Lidl supermarket in Baumschulenweg by some Anarchist(s). I guess the Lidl people tried to hide them – but as you can see only very badly.
