Photography Series Ruhrpott Part Three - return of the wiseguys
3rd Part of the Ruhrpott Quadrologie. I walked through the city several times at different hours.

The Fog
Once in a while the fog is in the streets of Essen.
Cars
Cars, cars, cars. Those cars need more space than the people. Streets are everywhere. Do you see bikes? No, of course not.

Just throw your stuff away. It isn't necessary to buy stuff that lasts longer; you are able to buy cheap stuff whenever you need it. Just go one…
