Two photos of Berlin

leave a comment »

Not in any way representative, but I liked them. They both don’t show the fucked up Berlin I like so much, but rather the »tourist attraction« part of Berlin. Looking back now, I kinda regret not having photographed any fucked up stuff, but you can’t always get everything right.

Reichstag

This one’s from the Reichstag. List of the severest security checks from severe to loose:

  1. Reichstag
  2. Offices of the Members of Parliament
  3. Auswärtiges Amt (=Foreign Office)
  4. Ministry for Education (none at all)

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

This one’s from the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. This memorial is really impressive, though it’s completely unable to shock you like a visit at a former concentration camp or just something like watching photos from the holocaust.

But nevertheless, I really like how fast you get lost inside the memorial, how the noise of the city dies away, how the outside world fades away.
