One of the things I was looking forward to in coming to Berlin was the thriving street art scene.
While some is little more than graffiti and tagging, some like this in the courtyard of a building on Kollwitzstrasse is strong and powerful..

Not all the street art you see is non-commercial nor salubrious

This mural wraps around the corner over the ground floor of a bulding – Sredzkistrasse and Hagenauerstrasse
I’m just working through some of my photos from Berlin with a bit more time to look at them. One of the more prolific street artists is El Bocho, and one of his signature pieces are melancholy looking girls, often with “I miss my … ’ sorts of sayings.
From my perspective he probably has his work defaced more than most – the pieces I found having tags or other graffiti over most of them.
