I’ve been meaning to post a photo of this piece by C215 on Pfuelstrasse in Kreuzberg since I read Finding Faces: Street Art by C215 on Haikugirl’s Picturing England blog. When I saw Haikugirl’s post I commented that I had seen this piece that uses the same stencil as one in Bacon Street in London […]
BLU in Berlin – Past and Present
If you’ve been to Berlin, the chances are you’ve seen BLU’s work. His Street Art murals are both visually striking and on a massive scale. These pieces on Cuvrystrasse in Kreuzberg are visible from the Oberbaumbrücke and impossible to miss if you’re taking a boat trip along this part of the Spree. BLU hails from Bologna […]
Jealous Heart
Bleeding Hearts
AliCé in Wunderstadt
I realise that the title is Denglish – it’s not grammatically correct in German and doesn’t make sense in English (and the name AliCé is neither) – but I couldn’t resist it. Good Friday really lived up to its name for me. I walked around Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg taking photographs of the incredible art of […]
Street Art – February 2012
I’ve just got around to editing my Street Art photos from February and created a gallery for the pick of them here. All the photos from my ‘A Berlin Hof Spot’ post are included and some extras from that Hof near Café Cinema. Is it me or does this C215 piece bear a resemblance to the clown I […]
Curry 36 – Currywurst in Berlin
Curry 36 is another very popular Imbiss and the sight of my introduction to Currywurst during my first trip to Berlin in 2009. I chose it for my first meal in Berlin because it was in the Lonely Planet Encounters guide I had bought and the idea of a Curry / Sausage combo appealed to […]
Back to Kreuzberg
I was back wandering around the streets of Kreuzberg today and spotted another great C215 piece in a doorway near Görlitzer Bahnhof. When I got back home and was sorting through my photos I realised that I need to find a way to track where I have been in Berlin and what is left to […]
Stolpersteine 4 & 5
I saw some more Stolpersteine in Berlin today whilst walking around Kreuzberg, mainly looking for street art. My first discovery was a bit of a shock. Outside a Chicken Stall on the corner of Skalitzer Strasse and Oranienstrasse I first saw this memorial to Friedrich Schulmeister. My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these […]
A wander around Kreuzberg in the sun
Before Christmas I went to Kreuzberg with my camera to get a picture of this Street Art piece by Victor Ash of an Astronaut (Cosmonaut, Spaceman, take your pick depending on where you come from) and spent some time walking around but it was raining so my photos weren’t great. As it was sunny this morning when […]
