Graff Kids

There are scores of wonderful parks in Berlin yet I think my favourite is Mauer Park in Prenzlauer Berg. The first day I came here it was a perfect sunny day and the park was filled with people doing every possible thing one could think of- people playing basket ball, teenagers jamming, punks drinking beer, hippies in drum circle, couples slow dancing- whatever. On top of this the grass was bright green and dotted with wild lavender. At this stage I didn't know the name of this place so I called it "Utopia Park". Of course I have been back several times since and have taken several photos. Here is shown a few kids putting up on the hinterland wall. This wall serves a public gallery which is constantly being adapted by those who frequent the park- in this case 10 year olds.
