Cobden chambers

The streets of Berlin

A city full of art, Berlin's streets ooze artistic flair, from graffiti street art to layering of marketting material, a city full of bikes (always providing that bohemian feel) and life like murials using the brick work as a canvas....there are no dull streets here, every corner you turn is like entering a different artisit's studio.

Canal side galleries

My bike and I are very much becoming really good friends thanks to this amazing spring (well temperature wise summer) weather although I imagine if my bike could speak she would definitely tell me to stop pulling over and carry on with our bike ride instead of wanting to photograph everything I see and as you may remember from a recent post of mine, graffiti is up there as one of the top things I capture whilst on my travels....a general love of mine or just so much of it that I have to? Well the latter would of seemed more appropriate a few weeks ago however this street (in my case canal) side art is very attractive...I'll set the scene a little....

Canal side footpath, bright blue skies with a lovely radiating heat, narrow boats lining either side and clustering at the designated 'moor ups' along the way, a plain brick wall......how boring!!!! a brick wall covered in every shade possible, mixtures of neutral whites and greys bouncing off the vibrancy of the fluorescent pinks and oranges....how fabulous!!! These cartoon like / tag style / graphic novel exhibitions are truly a work of art....and what a bonus - a free gallery to exhibit in!!!!
