Every year at the end of winter, when the sparrows chirp loudly in the bushes, migratory birds fly across the blue sky and the first green peeps out of the ground – then I feel the sand of distant beaches beneath the asphalt of Berlin, hear the sound of the sea in the lapping of the river Spree, see the lush green of summer in the bare branches of the trees. On days like these, my thoughts wander off to places of longing without a name, somewhere between yellow and blue.

If only I had nothing keeping me here. And enough cash. And if I were not me, but another person with much more courage. I would throw myself into life on these days, out of winter into the sunny south. Driving without a destination, carried away by that nameless feeling that grips me every year as soon as the taste of spring pervades the winter air and lures my dull spirits out of their winter cave. If only I had a good vehicle, a Volkswagen camper...

'There you are at last': one day I spotted it, the green T1, on a hill overlooking the sea. I sat down on the sandy ground and painted until its owners came back from their summer day at the beach and chugged away with the beautiful old T1. My painting was not yet complete, but I was satisfied and very happy that I had found it at all. For me, the T1 is and remains the symbol of freedom, independence and self-determination. And it also symbolises that special feeling that year after year, when spring approaches, urges me to follow the flight of the birds with more than just my eyes.
