it was taken in strassbourg/france (street), berlin (sky + punks), and münstertal/black forest (rays of light + some of the passerbys + the astounded couple looking up (our tenants, btw)). i glued it all together in photoshop. no colouring, though, but a little playing around with saturation and contrast...

banner? oh yeah...!

i just tried to make a banner from it... i failed. :(

i couldn't get it cropped properly. I'll try again later.

You did some really cool things with the contrast, etc.

interesting the cultural types seen here,
mohawks,
tattoes, leathers,
blue jeans,
flowing sack dresses,
families in sweaters,
a nice mix, proletarian,
a peaceful post war aesthetic,
a renewed vision
inherent here

into this larger post-modern cityscape
made easier by the return to a pre-modern architecture,
still alive and waiting
to recapture the spirits of these souls
annd kindle new dreamings
with visionary sun play
