On Growing

 

I might´ve shown you this one before, a mural around my corner, an Ente.

He´s a local artist and a woman stood there, admiring the ladybugs.

 

Dear host, when we met first I was super-shy.

 

Now... I stepped up to the woman, said hi and explained who the artist is and where to find more.

I.Did.The.First.Move. The introvert seemed to have run away!

 

The lady was pleased and eager to look out for more murals!

 

A tad sad they put their sign over the mural - strange a tattoo-artist has no respect towards a mural-artist. Reckon many will (maybe) think that way and look on for a more respectful guy to get a tattoo...

In my eyes respect is what counts...  

 

Me at least.. hopefully outgrew my darn shyness for good. It made my life so complicated and now I feel free,

Age comes with some benefits, too...

 

 

Flashback to 2006, Wanneroo/Perth. 

I headed into Big W at our SC at Kingsway, backpack on.

The lady at the entrance stopped me, I thought she wanted to check if I had goods in my bag, but no, she exclaimed loudly upon my shirt:

 

 

"Sweetie, I LIKE your T-shirt!!!"

Aussie-pride, so sweet! 

 

 This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

The internet series:

"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone

 

 Devil's Mountain Berlin

 

Teufelsberg is a Cold War relic built on what was then the highest point in West Berlin. The former listening post stands on an artificial hill constructed from World War II debris. From here, the US National Security Agency (NSA) spied on the Soviet Union and intercepted satellite transmissions and radio communications.

The dilapidated buildings that tower over Berlin's Grunewald forest exude an eerily beautiful fascination. The panoramic terrace of the old radio tower and the street art gallery housed within it are open to visitors."

 

Will the scary times come back?
