STREET CORNERS
Welcome to what will hopefully become a series about street corners.
This is the corner of Mehringdamm/Yorckstraße in Kreuzberg, Berlin, but not just any corner, it’s the South-West corner, 02/11/2020 a Saturday between 14:30 and 15:30, and being autumn, it’s all about dirty streets and cleaning.
Lockdown still, and it’s not as busy as it usually would be, but the leaves are not aware of the pandemic and still fall from the sky in hues of yellow and brown, clogging both curb and drain.
And the police van turning the corner?
Don’t the police keep the streets free of crime?
Falling from the sky
The kerb is littered with autumn debris
Shop-owner keeping it clean
The drains are littered with autumn debris
The careful cyclist
The police keeping the streets crime-free
