  • Gesundbrunnen bridge

    Crossing a fairly large bridge over some railway lines in Gesundbrunnen, I was amused to find that the cars you see in the photo are actually parked on the bridge, not waiting for traffic lights to change as I originally thought.

  • Street art, Oderbergerstrasse

    Street art, Oderbergerstrasse.I notice that while most attention is given to the large street art pieces, smaller works have their place.

  • U2 from Eberswalderstrasse


    U2 from Eberswalderstrasse

    The U2 from Eberswalderstrasse disappears underground not long after leaving the station on its way to Alexanderplatz, Potsdamerplatz and other stations. Its a train we have used a lot already as it heads through the centre of the city and beyond.

  • Berlin in the fog


    Berlin in the fog

    We woke up this morning to find Berlin in the fog. The fog did tend to stop the temperature getting very cold but it was very chilly.

  • Bauhaus Archive

    Bauhaus Archive

    If you are interested in design this place is fantastic. The history of Bauhaus is fascinating enough, but add to that the impact their designs have made across the world and its an amazing body of work

  • Yard 5, Friedrichshain

    Yard 5, Friedrichshain

    Street art, Yard 5, Friedrichshain. I caught this only briefly between the M13 and M10 trams and the rain about to set in and my camera battery dying. The project looks interesting enough for me to make a trip just to look through the yard, painted over the Easter long weekend.

  • Tourists

    Tourists
    Living slightly outside Mitte we haven’t had much to do with tourists so far, basically everyone we meet in the street are locals from the neighborhood. Yesterday however we went to Potsdamer platz and it is definitely a tourist hub in Berlin. I actually had thought we were going shopping so didn’t bring my Pentax so only had my phone on me. Thanks however to Google autoawesome I ended up with an animation of half a dozen shots of the Brandenburg Tor, plus an autoawesome eraser where most of the tourists were removed from the shot.
