A boulevard is created on the remains of the steel industry

“I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one, and I walk alone”

The flowers that try to comfort the tears

“Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.”

A gray dead end street

“The grey streets of London are greyer than the stone,
The grey streets of London where I must walk my lone,
The stony city pavements are hard to tread, alas!
My heart and feet are aching for the Irish grass.”

(K. Tynan in The grey streets of London)

Walking in a industrial landscape: NeroGiardini Chaussures

A view on an abandoned industrial area with a billboard advertising for NeroGiardini Chaussures

“Soll ein Schuh nicht drücken,
muß man sich anschicken,
und überall das erste Mal
sich selber hinbemühen
ihn an den Fuß zu ziehen,
denn oft fehlts an Geduld,
den Schuh recht anzufassen,
den Fuß darein zu passen.”

(L. von Beethoven in Soll ein Schuh nicht drücken)
