Around Rails and Railway Stations
This is a prime gallery, too. The location: a railway station next stop to the central station, and sidings in the distance of estimated 3 kilometres.
Gallery WAB-I shows a freight route with sidings. And the history of the tour? We saw a very giant and shining graffiti on one goods wagon. Dual carriageway. No possibility to park, to stop. We kept on driving, left the street, found a parking space far away. Hurried back. There came a very very long freight train. We hurried. In vain. The freight train moved, moved, moved, stopped directly in front of the wagon with the wonderful graffiti. OVER! A little angry, we shot that, what we found in the near.
WAB-III and IV show photos of the railway station. For explanation: It is a busy suburb near downtown. A burning point.
High crime rate — sometimes. PST! Keep that under your hat!
And more? There and overall in the city, you can find the new ...... we called them: PRISON WALLS. Other people called them noise protection ...
»WALLS«, which want to protect citizen against the noise of the trains.
PST! Many people regret it, because the protections against noise seems not effective, but the walls lock up the sight.
We say: The frogs cannot cross the walls to complete their journey. No way round the wall. They jumped along the streets to find their pond. All dead. The big ones in one direction and the Myriads of very little frogs in the other direction later in the year. Thank you, extinction.
Poor frogs!
Killed by ignorance!
More to that fact in ten years, too! Than we only know frogs from picture books and discuss about climate change.
But aren't that wonderful graffiti? Much to do for the PC to stitch it and some errors, because of the size. And more?
You must have seen the reproachful looks at us, when we stay on the platform with our camera to photograph this street art...
No more!
Central Station Graffiti
This area is nearly in 150 meter distance to the central station. It is the same like above. Walls for noise protection as far as you can look. And a big fallow land, that belongs to the former freight station. There we saw rabbits ...
It was not possible to come closer to the graffiti walls, so we went for a walk along the beaten path. Notice that one unit of the wall has a size of approximately 4 x 5 meters. This means: The first panorama of GBH-IV, image 12, with the writing SDE (not this SDE above) has a length of 35 meters. Impressive. You can imagine HOW GREAT all these graffiti are indeed.
Much colour. Much work. Much risk, danger and fear. Or not? — PST! Are there not drones flying at night to control the railroad tracks?
In gallery GBH-I you can find the images 023, 055, 056, 057. Fascinating impressions of »fluid«, really?!
Image 059, 060, 061 ... Yes, if we were Super Mario, we would have jumped over the fence and shot real photos, but we are »Graffi-Tour-ists« and no jumper, so we stay on the right side.
Maybe the photos of the surveillance cameras around would be more sharper than our photos of the graffiti?
Freight Station Graffiti
In gallery IBB-III, » image 004 — Panorama/Special« you can find one of the longest stitched photo we ever made. Some days before we had been at this place, but the camera memory lost some photos. Exactly the wonderful tank on the left side had been lost. Fantastic graffiti. And the size, too. Approximately it has a length of 35 meter, too.
In gallery IBB-IV, image 111, stands:
15 seconds and I am gone
My attempt to make a round-shot of the whole area failed. You must take the images 70, 71, 72, 73 plus wide-screen to see the whole surrounding. It is an interesting area. Self-made houses of artist, who live here. Trailers, cars, wooden and metal huts, which were built from wooden slats and rests. The big graffiti on the giant building. The old central station in the background ... A real subculture. Nice guys.
Finally you may ask: Why do you called it »Freight Station Area?«
Sorry, I forget. I will tell you. This area was the old freight station of Bremen. But it became useless, when the new one was built. Now, the old station is a meeting point for scene artists.
Artist rent working spaces for low money, there are exhibitions, music, a lot. And a lot of very VERY GIANT graffiti.
You can see a half-overview of the other side of the area in gallery IBB-IV, image 95, which we shot from the top of a high-garage.
By chance, we will visit the area a second time, to shot photos from a nearer point. It is a little bit complicated. Next door there is a shelter for the homeless. We avoid to exhibit homeless people while hunting graffiti.
And we hope, that this area will remain an artist colony for the next years!
