Forschungs-Spaziergänge am See, um den Bahnhof Lichtenberg, in Parks und in einem Friedhof. Unsere Woche als Künstlerinnen in Residenz in Lichtenberg Studios war unglaublich voll und ging zu schnell zu Ende. Am Freitag, ein paar Tage vor der Abreise, haben wir zu einer Kunstveranstaltung und Prämiere eines Kurzfilms, der in diesem kürzen aber intensiven Zeitraum in Lichtenberg entstanden ist, die Öffentlichkeit eingeladen.

Here’s a photograph made in sunny November Marseille a few weeks ago. While visiting the three fortresses near the mouth of the old harbor, Vieux Port, I noticed this window, which appears to have been added to the fortress wall rather recently. The room inside looks homey, with potted plants and framed pictures. I wonder if it’s the caretaker’s office, or living quarters? The plants are twice-confined, but look to be at peace with their lot in life.

Yet more peculiar plants from other places, courtesy of a reader. My sister Phoebe is a frequent flier with an eye for odd details in the streets, including curious plants. Here are a few greens she spotted in Tokyo.
The picture above is from her recent trip to Buenos Aires. She writes:
This is the main street of the San Telmo district. On Calle Defensa, Euro-style mansions of the rich overlook a square where on Sundays there is a bustling antiques market.
