A few years back I was living out west in Arizona – more specifically in Chandler, a small suburb on the outskirts of Phoenix. Aside from tumbleweeds there’s nothing out there to see. It’s a rather desolate place. I used to bike around alot, most of the time heading out into the Desert in the evenings and weekends – mostly because I liked the absurdity of it. During one of these excursions I stumbled upon a Trainyard. I’m quite a fan of Boxcar Art and Graffiti, and after reading a book about Train Hobos and Freight Train Riders(and some stuff by Bill Daniel who made an awesome documentary movie about his search for Bozo Texino). So every other weekend I tramped out to this Train yard in search of the markings of Bozo Texino and other Freight Train Riders.
So fast forward a few years, I found this film in one of my cameras which I hadn’t used in years and got it developed (believe it or not I still have several rolls of film that I need to get developed from these outings.). The following pictures – which were in surprisingly good condition – are from one of those weekend outings.

What to do on May Day in Berlin?
After 4 years the best answer to this question is: Leave the City and go out for a nice drive in the countryside.
On the one side May Day in Berlin is fun. Youve got the MayFest in Kreuzberg with loads of free concerts and awesome food. (here are some nice pictures and a cool video from @smaracuja)
On the other hand, its overcrowded and you’ve got a loads of idiots and assholes starting trouble with the police. (behold the idiocy that is may day in berlin)
So to escape this mess I finally managed to convince the misses to drive out to the Bastei Bridge – something which ive wanted to see for quite some time now.
