    While I was at Urban Spree in Friedrichshain, one young artist was working on a piece near the front door to the gallery space.

  • German signs

    Learning German by reading the table signs. I think this says “Bitte drinnen aus diesen bestellen und bezahlen! Danke!” Which I roughly translate as “Please order and pay inside of these! Thanks!”

  • Brucke Museum

    Main trip today was to Brücke Museum which “houses the world’s largest collection of works by Die Brücke (“The Bridge”), an early 20th-century expressionist movement. Apart from the artwork the building itself is a neat design with natural light wells illuminating the artwork on the walls.

  • Gesundbrunnen bunker

    Gesundbrunnen bunker

    I had heard about this bunker, and the tours run from the local U-bahn station. In a very heavily tree park is a hill and this bunker stands on top of it , although much of it is underground. I was amazed at how big it was, you can see the man standing next to the wall below to give some perspective. From what I could read what you see is the Flakturm or anti-aircraft tower

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

    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.
