Snap of the Day (2010)

Ran outside with the camera, lens, and converter and fired a shot handheld. Its not even close to perfect, but if I had concentrated I reckon I could have got it right.

Here's a snap from Sunday. A typical scene at 4 in the afternoon in a German household at this time of year. Fresh plum cake.

View of the un-renovated apartments opposite. They've been empty for the last 2 years but hopefully soon some work will start and I can upload images as the building changes (or less often as it falls down!).

Just coming back to the studio from lunch and spotted these peeking out from behind a skip.

Colour pretty well as is from reflections off the brickwork around (that's what caugt my attention first). Cropped square a the skip was full of plaster and was glaring white and beyond the range of the Ricoh GR Digital III. ISO 64 1/200 f5 (manual mode).
 
The protest is part of a co-ordinated series throughout Europe organisised by left-wing groups. This one was by a group called the Die Linke whose politics are basically those of the former GDR. Most of the protestors were not your normal tax payers shall we say and the banners say (in English - presumably for the press) "Pay you Fu****s" - clarly a subltle message with deep underlying social implications!!

The piciture was taken at Hackesche Markt looking toward Alexanderplatz in Berlin (TV Tower in background). Tons of police and helicoters looking out for potential violence from far right groups. If any had started it would not have lasted long!!

is that a question... "Pay you ****ers?" as in "why should we"
or "pay you ****ers" a statement, as in "pay us you ****ers"
