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.
