Berlin - Street Art

No need for words

Official Berlin

The City Hall with umbrellas against the crisis

The old church opposite the City Hall

The museum island

The Cathedral

Of course, the Brandenburg Gate

The Reichstag/Bundestag, with its Dome

The buildings around the Reichstag are very modern

among them, the main station

Check Point Charlie

a portion of the wall turned into an exhibition called "topology of terror". Explaining how nazism was able to take over.

Those buildings are a water tower.

A little overview.

Ooops, Picasa and Blogger had a little disagreement, and did not show the picture of the guys in the previous post.  This is fixed, and the post makes more sense... Sorry...

More pics soon!

No big deal, I was to stay indoors for the conferences.
On the third day, this is what I discovered:

Chances are that I go back next year. If so, I'll try to go a few days before the conferences start to enjoy that landscape.

Have a good week all!
