Themed walk Berlin

We spent a few days in Berlin over our childrens autumn holliday. I captured some of the cool graffiti I found in Berlin.

This is a huge artwork that covers the entire gable of a house nearby the Technology Museum.

It wasn't really a focused themed walk like this one I did a few weeks at home, because I wasn't focusing only on the graffiti as we were walking. I just captured the ones that really caught my eyes.

I found this boxer under a railway bridge.

If you want to focus on graffiti as a theme in a city like Berlin you have a wealth to dig from. It is everywhere. But there is so much else to see for a person who visits for the first time.

Bold colors.

And of course I couldn't resist photographing this one!

More love!

Themed Walk - Art Hunting!

For todays lunch walk I decided to make it a themed walk. Instead of just strolling down the street my aim was to go for a hunt. An art hunt!

My office is situated in a part of Gothenburg where a lot of creative people lives, called Majorna. I have noticed a lot of evidence of that on my numerous walks in the neighbourhood. Today I wanted to capture some of them.

Mermaid Wall Art 

I started the walk with this absolutely stunning mermaid that covers an entire gable. I really love her! She is certainly not some impulsive scribble and you must be blind not to notice her on a walk. I didn't expect the rest of my findings to be so obvious so I sharpend my eyes.

Electrical cabinets and street lights typically carries interesting evideces of the inhabitants creativity.

Sad eyes.

This guy stood out both in color and size.

But this little fellow was really small, only about 2-3 centimeters. I found him by sheer coincidence. I guess my eyes improved along the way.

It was fun to have a specific purpose for my walk. I went down streets I have never gone before in my search for something arty. 

Time passed quickly and eventhough it only took about 15 minutes I think I did well on my first themed walk. I will do it again and I have some ideas for new themes...
