Autumn changes everything





























At least in Berlin. Nature covers culture,
leaves and chestnuts sheet stones and bricks.
Sunflowers break free - before they die.
Click to see the big ones.

Growing corn on main street in Berlin















It's early September in Berlin and corn is still clearly visible from ground level.
the picture shows a main street of a central district in the city - my neighborhood. Big chunk of migrant businesses from people of turkish origin to be found there. this biggest group of migrants in the city often is perceived as problematic: mucho habits of their young males, no equal rights for their females, low skills, high unemployment, limited integration to main society - however you might define this. but corn in main street reminds me on the disconnect between the city and the countryside, soil, nature. thank you for the corn, fellow neighbors.
