In reality, the choice was really to consciously notice the world around him and single out the bits that mattered – […]

Presenting today a mixed bag of wimmelbild (fittingly, some of which is actually from Germany) and general urban patchwork accumulated over centuries – and in some cases, quite possibly millennia.
