Frankfurt am Main up in smoke

Berlin or Frankfurt?

The skyline of Frankfurt am Main is glowing and blanketed in black (toxic) clouds of burning cars. Even bicycles are used as barricades. Huge anti-austerity demonstrations erupted at the European Central Bank's (#ECB) new headquarters (also known as the 'cathedral of money') in Bankfurt. The #Blockupy protests are directed against the austerity polices of the European Commission, ECB and IMF.

The tenor was summed up here:

In times of temporary peace cyclists gather for breakfast or Kaffe und Kuchen at Cafe Kante, in Bornheim.
