  • Black Mirror is REAL!

    Walking down the Berlin’s most commercial Boulevard on Saturday during the midday. After three months in lockdowns, this is the surreal result.

    Where the Wilds Things Are!

    Breaking the montony of the most recent Lockdown, I went to Tierpark Zoo. Many zoos are suffering a decline in visitors due to the Coronavirus.
