Behind the façade..

Hey there!

While I was driving around town I noticed an interesting church (built around the 1960's) located at the university campus.

The building is triangular in shape and stands out because of its glass blocks which appear in various colours from the inside.

The architect was inspired by the "Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church" in Berlin. The triangular shapes represent the Holy Trinity, but are also a reference to the maritime lifestyle in Kiel as the shape could be interpreted as a sail.

A different angle

I especially like the clear shapes of the different elements.

Urban exploring..

Hey there!

Yesterday my friends and I went exploring in our city in search for a great place to shoot photos for a photography contest.

Eventually we discovered an old factory building. It is completely abandoned which is a reason for graffiti artists to leave their marks behind.

It is really amazing to just stand in the big hall and look at the paintings. The danger of collapse is naturally given but didn't stop us from entering the building.

Trees aren't spared the paint

Some probably say that graffiti is terrible vandalism but I reckon it prevents the loneliness of certain places. If there wasn't any street art at this factory building it would seem even scarier and pointless not to get rid of it.

Peace

Waste

Once you return the place will probably have changed since the paintings are being over-sprayed.

Around my city street art isn't often found in random places and sprayers mostly just leave their symbols everywhere. That's why I was so surprised by this place since it's rather rare around here or impossible to find.
