unseasonably warm street photography

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.02.06

Kokubunji isn't exactly a beautiful place but it's lively enough for a tiny city in the middle of 40 million people. Time for a bit o' street photography.

What better use for a garage than a child's swing

such a great use of what was a pesky forest

rand()m quote

Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Hermann Goering
