A wool lot of competition, a photo from Berlin, East

Photographer's Note

Another picture of the same giant size mural advertisement at the end of a block of flats. Letting the camera sweep to the left reveals that the wool is getting some competition. I was most surprised at the heigth above ground for this graffiti. Do the graffiti guys of Berlin use skylifts?

A well-spotted and quite colorful detail again, Ebbe - nice work with the 2:1 framing and good opposing of the graffiti versus the Wollsiegel logo. I think this must be one of the oldest logos still in use in German-speaking Europe without being upgraded or face-lifted over the decades, I remember seeing it since I was a small boy in the early 1970s.

What a great shot, love the contrast in the wool sign and the graffiti. Very sharp and very colourful as well, great composition.

Interesting combination of an advertisement and a graffiti. Very graphic image full of nice details. Black frame works well. Very-very well seen and composed.
Perhaps a famous Swedish guy called Karlsson p� taket has painted the graffiti...

Hi Ebbe,
Interesting pair of paintings. A spray canon came to my mind, but the lines would not be so sharp that way. But it seems that spray removal has been done with a canon! I like the windows too. They are important to get the scale. Crop leaves my quite curious of the left side.

Very nice composition. I like it a lot. The advertisement plus the graffiti made and interesting mixture, full of colors!
