after a long night © Lilly Schwartz 2012

Yesterday I actually took quite a few nice pictures, but this one I found quite special. I was on my way to Düsseldorf around 2pm to meet with my friend Judith and at the train station these boys were just lying on the ground while waiting for the train. Apparently they had a long night out and hadn’t slept at all.

Later when I was walking through Birkenstraße on the side of Düsseldorf Flingern I suddenly realised that the street has transformed in the last few years. It used to be a pretty strange neighbourhood where I didn’t want to live at all, whereas now it is getting quite nice. They still have some building sites along the street, but apart from that it looked much less run down in comparison to 5 years ago, when I used to come there to get my first mac repaired. There were some interesting shops, some nice cafés and it had a relaxed flair. I liked it.
