This is an impression of the 1st of May in Berlin Kreuzberg. Traditionally, several demonstrations take place on this day, and since 1987 they have been followed by riots. This ritual has more and more lost its political intention, and today most of the rioting people are kids looking for forbidden adventure and vilolence. The atmosphere is somewhere between streetfight and party.
I tried to get a snapshot of what I see as the essence of this event, without using thrilling violence scenes. Another panorama is at my panorama blog berlin-im-licht.de[url].
