The Cow House Photo

Photographer’s Note

Not a great photo - taken with my first low-fi digital, an Olympus 860L, but a great vertical meadow.

This looks amazing in real life & you should get to see it of you can if you're in Berlin.

I believe the house is in Prenzlauer Berg area, but I'm trying to find a bit more information.

I've found out a bit more:

"KUHUUNST
Kollwitzstrasse 18 at Belforter Strasse
District: Prenzlauerberg

Sergej Alexander elected to install a herd of life-size plaster cows grazing on the side of this five-story apartment building. The bovines look quite content protruding from the green wall and create an optical quandary as to which way is really up. A delighftul artistic sleight of hand. "

Berlin is great, full of fantastic street sculptures, including a giant white concrete rabbit on a dual carriageway road.

Mais où est donc le plancher des vaches ? On aurait aimé en savoir un peu plus sur l'artiste et sur cette forme d'art. La photo est plaisante. Je l'ai ajoutée au thème "Humour"

I agree with you the POV is not the better but this wall is very funny and strange...it was a good idea to take this photo so we can share even if we are not in Berlin. Thanks

An impressive and funny building.
I wish you had a better light, but it's an interesting sharing.
Where is in Berlin ?
