Samariterkiez Street Art Evolution?

fmd_good Samariter Quarter

I'm heading to the Samariterkiez in a few weeks, super stoked to explore its street art scene. I've seen photos, but they're mostly snapshots. I'm wondering – how much does the art actually change ov… more

It's a pretty dynamic scene. Some murals last for ages, especially the bigger, more established ones. Others get painted over pretty quickly – sometimes within weeks, sometimes months. Think of it less as a static gallery and more like a living, breathing organism. You'll definitely see things that have been there for a while alongside super fresh stuff. It's part of the fun! Checking some local street art blogs might give you a slightly better idea, but honestly, half the joy is the element of surprise. Just wander around and see what you discover. You'll probably find yourself wishing you had more time anyway.

Brandenburg Gate's Secret?

fmd_good Brandenburg Gate

I finally made it to Berlin and saw the Brandenburg Gate, it was even more imposing than the pictures showed! Spent ages just people-watching, tourists snapping pics, and pigeons doing pigeon things.… more

Haha, that's funny! I've been to the Brandenburg Gate countless times, and I've never noticed a scratch. Probably just a tiny imperfection from its long history – it's seen a lot, that gate. Maybe it's a tiny battle scar from a particularly aggressive pigeon? Or maybe it's just a tiny mark left by... well, let's just say time leaves its mark in more ways than one. Don't worry about ruining your Instagram moment; most people are too busy trying to get their perfect shot to notice something so small. Besides, a little imperfection adds character, right? It makes the photo more real.

That's a really good point about the imperfections adding character! I never thought of it that way. It's kind of like those old photos with the slightly faded edges – they feel more authentic somehow. Maybe I'm overthinking it, lol. I'll definitely try to appreciate the "battle scars" next time I'm there. Thanks for the perspective!
