Guys. I took one for the team and went outside for longer than necessary, all equipped with a real camera instead of just my iPhone. The winter wonderland of Kreuzberg makes for a great panorama, although usually when it snows like this it’s not -9 but rather -2. But it doesn’t matter, because this season I am actually prepared from head to toe for the whiteout! I bought classy Timberlands, I have more than two okay-ish coats, I have wicker shirts and socks, I even have a winter-ski mask that I am not ashamed to wear, guys, I AM EMBRACING WINTER, AND NONE OF MY CLOTHES ARE NEON-COLORED!
I still wouldn’t want to spend more than the obligatory 20 minutes waiting for the M29 outside anyway. I’m just saying: after nine winters in Berlin, I finally could if I wanted to. Unfortunately, this is not true for everyone. I want to use the opportunity to raise awareness to the One Warm Winter project that collects money to help the homeless in these harsh times. Imagine you had to live outside or in a U-Bahn-Station in these temperatures. Please call the Kältebus if you see someone out on the street.
You can usually see the Fernsehturm from here. NO MORE!
In the meantime, enjoy your calm days at home. Although I hate the cold, I love the unicolor grey-white sky that gives the impression of a timeless, pale day. And I love the Zombie shuffling of people trying to navigate with anchor-heavy boots through the snow. Most importantly though: that look on the kids’ faces when they keep tripping and falling into the snow, or annoy their parents with impromptu snow fight performances. Oh, the nightmares it must be to dress the little shits every morning!
The intense look on their faces is to die for.
Every winter, there’s always this asshole with shorts on.
Can’t wait for the mud.

When Kreuzberg looks like a forest due to the discarded Christmas trees
Someone locked their goddamn sled up
See the M29 as always riding double trouble style.
Shuffle, Zombie! SHUFFLE!
FOUND ANOTHER ASSHOLE
Kreuzberg in Snow was born to the castle of finding berlin.
