blonded by the light

Sunday, a day of sun. The square where the image was taken is called "Damaschkeplatz", what is easy to guess. This is its tram station, located beneath a railway. The person who was honored by naming the location was A. Damaschke, a social reformer at the beginning of the 20th century.

The commercial that can be seen is part of a big campaign of a japanese car company. The town is paved by these posters. In fact, the message of these posters is hard to understand: you regularly see a desert on it, the car and a varying additional creature (a biker, a sharped dressed Afroamerican, an underground worker getting out of a duct, differing african animals etc.). I would interpret it as "if mankind is wasting its energy resources as it did the last decades by e.g. extensive car driving, earth will turn into a desert. Drive by bike.". But if so: why does a car company pay for that message? The car on the poster actually is in no way a petrol saving vehicle... strange.

Image taken on the way to Daniel... the correction of his diploma thesis is still in progress.
