Berlin, Germany

There’s loads of random art applied to the side of some buildings in central Berlin. Here’s one example spotted back in September 2015.

Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany, photography, photowalk, random, Travel, urban

Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany

I’ve been watching a lot of videos on YouTube lately of Berlin’s U-Bahn … and they unsurprisingly brought back memories of my two trips to Germany’s capital city. This is Alexanderplatz, the commercial and transit hub in what was once East Berlin, as seen in September 2015.

Berlin: Do not play

Berlin, Germany

The marquee of an abandoned movie theatre in Berlin, Germany, hides an appropriate former name for the place, which Google tells me means “Do not play”. The last time I was there, in September 2015, the building was in a state of disrepair and was covered with all sorts of art.

Tranquil escape from Berlin’s hustle and bustle

Berlin, Charlottenburg, garden, Germany, park, photography, photowalk, random, Schloss Charlottenburg, shloss, Travel, urban

Berlin, Germany

Adjacent to Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin is a luscious urban park, a bit of an oasis embedded in the heart of Germany’s capital city. Walk past the well-manicured flower gardens adjacent to the palace buildings, above, to find something a little more untamed, like this quiet spot below. These photos are from my visit to Berlin last year.
