Berlin

Three days in Berlin and just an hour to take some street shots.

Cobbled paths are strewn with glass, endless heat and sirens. Harmless eye contact, interesting people, not a single suit. People my own age, wearing everything and nothing till dawn and then some. Alfresco next to the road the canal the makeshift garden of crates and plantpots. Multi-storey car park party, sitting on the pavement, busker amazing. Dinner at 10 up at 10, markets filled with overflowing wonders, bike basket not big enough. Bird song, drunk song and tram song all night long.

Camera at my side, down by my waist pointing at a subject so interesting. Fingers crossed it goes unnoticed, my lens pointing towards them as I walk on searching for my next photograph.
