A colourful orange and yellow post-war housing block in Berlin
Berlin's post-war housing blocks, Germany - Feb 2016
FULL COPY:
http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s4qy
A photographer has captured a series of charming photos of Berlin's post-war housing apartment blocks.
The pictures show perfectly symmetrical concrete apartment blocks, pictured against blue skies.
Copenhagen-based photographer Malte Brandenburg, 37, travelled back to his birth place (Berlin) to capture the photo series 'Stacked'.
Malte said: "I wanted to highlight the architectural structure of these buildings rather than their social context. I think by making them comparable you notice that they all have something in common, but that the architects still maintained their individual small little features.
"For me they are not ugly leftovers from past decades in a city?s skyline. I find they tell a story, which is still relevant today, namely the tension between engineering and the human element.

Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar, which pretends to be a snake with colourful markings and fake eyes, Maine, America - 31 May 2010
GET AN EYEFUL OF THIS - A CATERPILLAR THAT THINKS IT'S A SNAKE
Being small and defenceless this caterpillar has developed a novel way to stay safe - keeping an eye out for trouble.
With large, beady eyes and bold yellow and blue markings the clever caterpillar manages to scares off its predators by pretending to be a snake.
In reality the brightly coloured creature is just a few centimetres long but its large piercing fake eyes make it look much bigger.
These Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars were photographed by wildlife biologist Jonathan Mays in Maine, America.
He comments: "Swallowtail caterpillars are beautiful creatures. They strike a sense of wonder from many observers.
"Swallowtails have spots on their head that mimic snake eyes and are amazing to view.
"The disguise is very lifelike, so much so that even the reflection or eye-shine changes when viewed from different angles.
"The habitat was a spicebush stand amidst a red maple forest. I was at this site looking specifically for the caterpillars".
As well as their snake impersonation the caterpillars also have a few other tricks to avoid becoming lunch.
When they first hatch they look like little brown bird droppings and spend most of the day folded up inside leaves.
The caterpillars also has a forked, fleshy organ just above their head, which emit a disagreeable odor if a predator gets too close.

Handcrafted, colourful coffins by Paa Joe, London, Britain - 12 Dec 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Solent News / Rex Features ( 1259969b )
Colourful Coffins That Are Works Of Art
These beautifully crafted sculptures may look like works of art but they have been hand built by one of the world's greatest carpenters - as coffins.
The colourful and intricate caskets are worth thousands of pounds and come in various shapes and sizes.
They have been constructed by master coffin carver Paa Joe, 65, who has been making coffins for more than 50 years.
His range includes funeral palls shaped like cars, jets, fish, eagles and cocoa pods.
They are made in Ghana, where a tradition of elaborate coffins is especially strong among the south-eastern Ga people.
They value coffins as a status symbol and a spiritual way of remembering the deceased's job or personality.
Paa Joe designed one casket in the shape of a plane for a 91-year-old grandmother who often dreamed of flying, even though she had never boarded an aircraft.
Families commission the coffins to represent the achievements or personality of the dead and designs include Bibles and cameras. Collectors buy them for up to GBP 6,500.
Sometimes the deceased will have prepared a design brief during their lifetime. Coffins are made of wood and then painted.
A coffin in the form of an African eagle with painted gold feather markings is generally made for chiefs and is lined with silk and red textiles.
The deceased's body is washed, dressed, adorned and laid out with the coffin open during the wake. The coffin is then closed and carried to the burial ground.
Paa is currently showing some of his work at the Jack Bell Gallery in London.
Jack Bell said: "The works are all iconic symbols of local life. The golden African eagle, fish, Air Ghana jet and Cocoa pod are testament to the vibrancy of West African culture.
"These works blur the line between art and craft. They are not dead things but...

The colourful shoelace art of Federico Uribe, Miami, America - 01 Nov 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Moris Moreno/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1244886k )
Art That's All Tied Up
At first glance these colourful pictures might look just like regular paintings - but closer inspection reveals the incredibly detailed artwork is in fact made from shoelaces.
The stunningly intricate creations feature chickens, sunflowers and Superman and are worth thousands of pounds.
Skilled artist Federico Uribe painstakingly arranges and pins the different coloured shoelaces to a canvas and spends up to a month on each piece.
One spectacular artwork shows a particularly eventful dinner scene, where a chicken is flapping around as its feathers fly around the dining room.
Another creation depicts a man giving his brain a wash, while an unusual Superman gets ready for action in another.
Columbian Federico's favourite picture is called Art Poetica, meaning 'the art of poetry', and shows a man with a sunflower in his hands.
He sells the pieces for between GBP 20,000 and GBP 45,000 pounds each, and works on them for 10 hours a day for up to 30 days.
Federico, 47, said: "I had been creating some artwork out of trainers and for some reason Puma ended up sending me a lot of different coloured shoelaces.
"I just thought to myself 'why can't I paint with them?' and it all started from there.
"The work is very intricate, that's why it takes so long to complete each piece, and the most difficult part is the weaving.
"My favourite piece is the Arte Poetica which features a guy in a box holding a sunflower.
"I like it because it is the way I see the process of making art - I want to give the most beautiful part of me.
"All of my work is about the possibilities of materials, and seeing daily objects in a different way.
"To me all materials are the same - they are something to create art from. The challenge is making them appear in a different light.

James Kuhn, who has painted his face differently every day for 365 days - Apr 2009

Fantastic Face Paint: Artist Creates A New Face Every Day
*EXCLUSIVE TO REX*
FANTASTIC FACE PAINT: ARTIST CREATES A NEW FACE EVERY DAY
Wacky artist James Kuhn wowed the world by painting his own face every day for a year.
Now the 47-year-old from Three Oaks, Michigan is doing it again - and his work is better than ever.
Imaginative James decided to come up with a new face every day, with designs ranging from cartoon characters to some of his favourite foods.
And one again he will put a smile on YOUR face with crazy caricatures of Superman, Charlie Brown, Wonder Woman and Evel Knievel.
There are also poignant tributes to Michael Jackson and Mollie Sugden, the British actress famous for her role as Mrs Slocombe in sitcom Are You Being Served?.
Other creations include a mummy, Freddie Kruger, a golf tee Santa and a rabid pit bull!
Some of James' creations are so convincing it is hard to work out where his facial features are under the make-up. Often the only clue is a solitary open eye.
Of his efforts, James says: "I had so much fun last year with the first 365 faces, that I am starting another 365 transformations, even though I must be crazy.
"This has been the hardest thing I have ever done - and the most rewarding.
"So many days I just did not feel like getting covered in paint. Sometimes I was sick or tired and last time I even had a fever of 102 degrees one day so I just couldn't do it.
"I did do one the next day and I was still so hot that the paint ran down my face.
"This time i give myself permission to take a few days off whenever I need too once in a while.

Fantastic Face Paint: Artist Creates A New Face Every Day
*EXCLUSIVE TO REX*
FANTASTIC FACE PAINT: ARTIST CREATES A NEW FACE EVERY DAY
Wacky artist James Kuhn wowed the world by painting his own face every day for a year.
Now the 47-year-old from Three Oaks, Michigan is doing it again - and his work is better than ever.
Imaginative James decided to come up with a new face every day, with designs ranging from cartoon characters to some of his favourite foods.
And one again he will put a smile on YOUR face with crazy caricatures of Superman, Charlie Brown, Wonder Woman and Evel Knievel.
There are also poignant tributes to Michael Jackson and Mollie Sugden, the British actress famous for her role as Mrs Slocombe in sitcom Are You Being Served?.
Other creations include a mummy, Freddie Kruger, a golf tee Santa and a rabid pit bull!

Of his efforts, James says: "I had so much fun last year with the first 365 faces, that I am starting another 365 transformations, even though I must be crazy.
"This has been the hardest thing I have ever done - and the most rewarding.
"So many days I just did not feel like getting covered in paint. Sometimes I was sick or tired and last time I even had a fever of 102 degrees one day so I just couldn't do it.
"I did do one the next day and I was still so hot that the paint ran down my face.
"This time i give myself permission to take a few days off whenever I need too once in a while.
"But the entire experience stretched my imagination and forced me to reach deep inside for more and more ideas."
But although James has just passed hundred day mark of his second year of face paint he is confident of ...
