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.

Dresden, Germany

Dresden’s cathedral was wrecked during the Second World War and remained a pile of ruin for decades. It re-opened to the public in 2005 after years of painstaking restoration. Here’s the scene outside the landmark in September 2016, its adjacent public square buzzing with activity.

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.
