Neustadt, Dresden, Street Art Heaven

I had no preconceptions about Dresden, I knew a lot of effort had gone into rebuilding after the devastation of the war, I was expecting lots of nice old buildings and a fun weekend in general.

Les Voyageurs of Geneva

These amazing sculptures were hung (flying) or placed (sitting) around teh bridges and buildings of Bel-Air in Geneva. Silver and sparkly by day, illuminated by night. A mesmerising installation, Les Voyageurs (The Travellers) by Cédric Le Borgne.

Christchurch in reconstruction mode

My 2013 NZ trip started in Christchurch, a city still recovering and reconstructing itself after the devastating earthquake of 2011. It was humbling and inspiring to see lots of creativity, commissioned art and street art and lovely poetry appearing in between the rumble and destruction.

Bits and bobs in Munich… and one from Nürnberg

I lost my phone snowboarding in 2013 so lost a couple of months worth of photos, but thankfully many were also automatically uploaded to Flickr. It’s so annoying to have to learn the hard way! But here’s what we see in the 2013 archives.
