Rows of sorrow
Germany, Berlin, January 2, 2017
British war graves from the First World War (1914-1918) in Berlin.
Some weeks ago I was interviewed for the curated photo site 1X. If you are interested, here is the link: https://1x.com/blog/permalink/8034
Missed the train
Missed the train, make a bargain
Bahn verpasst, Schäppchen gemacht
I read it like make a snapshot when you've missed your train

Funny things and reflections
Germany, Belin, Januari 6, 2017
Today I explored the surroundings of the famous Kurfürstendamm, with all its amazing late 19th and early 20th century buildings, alternated with some modern buildings. Not easy to photograph, so I did it in an indirect way by reflections. As everywhere, there are also those funny little street scenes.
Frost, facades and windows
Germany, Berlin, Januari 5, 2017
Today it was very cold and the roads and pavements were slippery, but there was a lovely sun. I first went to see the Shell House and then just walked at random. Funny thing is, that you walk in circles.
A hailstorm, hedges and fences
Germany, Berlin, Januari 4, 2017
Today I went to another Siedlung in the relative neighbourhood of Wannsee - only 15 minutes by city train. This Siedlung, called Eichkamp was build in the 1920's and 30's. Follow this link for more information - the German text is followed by an English translation.
After my walk through the Siedlung I went to the southern part of the Berlin Fair. It is a pity that the grounds are completely fenced of. So when there is no fair, you can't walk around on the premisses. I also went to the Olympic stadion - this time to the back side with the huge clock tower and the hippodrome. There I was surprised by a violent hailstorm.
New nature within the city
Germany, Berlin, Januari 3, 2017
Today I went to Steinstücken, just south of Wannsee, on the border of Berlin and Potsdam. When Berlin and Germany were still divided, Steinstücken was a western enclave in East-Germany. Around it was the Wall with its no man's land, which in a way still exists. After being no man's land, it became a barren strip where nature took over and thus a new forrest grew on it without any interference of mankind.
