02.01.2005: Fog in Johannisthal
Much of the snow is melted away during the last 48 hours, but today we have beautiful fog!

6./14./26.12.2005: White
On the 14th of December, a tiny newspaper reported the following, that after several complains of residents about drug dealing near the S-Bahn-station Schöneweide, police became active at last.They observed the main bus station in Johannisthal (right beside S-Bahn-station Schöneweide) for two weeks. On December 6th they decided to convict a certain dealer, started the observation at 13:00 o'clock and arrrested the man at 17:00 o'clock, after documenting several transactions. They captured a 19year-old Libanese who lived in Oberschöneweide. Two of his clients, a 40year-old man and a 35year-old woman, were arrested, as well.
Who had ever expected that Johannisthal might become a kind of local centre for drug selling ? I didn't even know that the demand would be high enough around here... The white stuff which you see on the photo, however, is snow of a different kind, it's probably even more rare and precious than crack, at least to my taste.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2005 16:21:44 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) On the 14th of December, a tiny newspaper reported the following, that after several complains of residents about drug dealing near the S-Bahn-station Schöneweide, police became active at last.They observed the main bus station in Johannisthal (right beside S-Bahn-station Schöneweide) for two weeks.

20.12.2005: Archives in Berlin, part 1
Actually this is the Berlin District Court (Landgericht) and not a genuine archive. But it contains so many old documents and files that I go here for research quite regularily.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2005 16:03:38 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) Actually this is the Berlin District Court (Landgericht) and not a genuine archive.

19.12.2005: Art, part II
Due to the huge success of my last art photo, here you get the follow-up. This one is more dynamic, and I'm very tempted to give it a title, something metaphoric, like for instance "Time". I won't, however...]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2005 15:45:58 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) Due to the huge success of my last art photo, here you get the follow-up.

15.12.2005: Dresdner Bank at Pariser Platz, Berlin
At this evening I took part in the winning ceremony of the award "Freedom and responsibility". Actually neither the audience nor the speeches were really exciting, but this staircase, illuminated in the bank's colour, looked interesting somehow.]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2005 09:21:07 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) At this evening I took part in the winning ceremony of the award "Freedom and responsibility".

10.12.2005: Soviet War Memorial, Berlin-Schönholz
This is probably the second largest Soviet Memorial in Germany. In a certain way it is even more convincing than the biggest on in Treptow because it is clearer and simpler. It's really worth to go here, you can find a lot of very interesting details. One of them is a place of special remembrance and honour for the Soviet soldiers who died in German POW-camps. Remember - those who didn't die but returned to the USSR in 1945 were not honoured but accused of "recreancy in front of the enemy" or even treachery.]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2005 06:44:06 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) This is probably the second largest Soviet Memorial in Germany.

There are a lot of things which you can critise about Berlin and its inhabitants but they are definitly a curious people. Whenever there is something to see, a crowd gathers instantly, especially when it's for free. During the last days all Berlin newspapers announced that the newly renovated "Emporer Friedrich Museum" (now Bode Museum) will be opened for 3 days this weekend. The speciality: No exhibition will be presented, just the plain, empty rooms. Thousands of Berliners took the chance, and it definitly was worth it, fighting its way through the overcrowded empty halls and cabinets of the museum. If I was in charge, I'd give direct order to keep the main rooms empty. It feels so open and free and wide! Stuffed with sculptures, paintings and showcases, this house will become quite normal and a bit boring like many museums.]]> Sun, 04 Dec 2005 12:39:12 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) yr8601 http://www.fotothing.com/yr8601/photo/d9b948c577b52bc8e84cb7968d847f11/
03.12.2005 Johannisthal
Once in a decade, there's something happening in Johannisthal. Like today, when a demonstration of about 100 radical right wings was escorted by probably 1000 policemen with about 120 vehicles, a number of horses and a helicopter, and accompanied by two left wing counter demostrations. All went off peacefully.]]> Sat, 03 Dec 2005 18:38:17 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (yr8601) Once in a decade, there's something happening in Johannisthal.
