Anniversaries and Birthdays have always seemed to me to be a time for reflection and as I will be celebrating 1 year in Berlin tomorrow, this seems like the perfect time to reflect on what I have seen and done here. My original intention was that I would be able to create a Berlin Top […]
Robert Montgomery’s billboard installations for his Echoes of Voices in the High Towers exhibition have to be one of the more unique Street Art styles that I have seen in my time in Berlin. Ironically, Robert Montgomery is British but it wasn’t until I came to Berlin that I got to see any of his […]
The roof of the parking garage at the Neukölln Arcaden shopping centre may seem like an unlikely place to include in a ‘must-see Berlin‘ list but when you see the view of the Berlin skyline from there it starts to make sense. This viewpoint features in the book ‘111 Orte in Berlin, Die Man Gesehen […]
I have added a photo of the Stolpersteine I saw in Berlin last week to my Stolpersteine Gallery. The memorials I saw were dedicated to Frida Holz and Rose Seligmann (Kaiserdamm 19). In a little over 9 months, I have now seen 348 Stolpersteine in 142 locations across Berlin. To find out more about these […]
The 8th annual Berlin Festival of Lights is took place 10 – 21 October 2012. During the festival, a number of Berlin’s most famous landmarks and some lesser known buildings were transformed with light installations, laser animations and video projections. I started my tour of the Festival of Lights locations on Saturday in the Gendarmenmarkt, which I chose […]

I would have loved Papierfabrik Wolfswinkel, an abandoned paper mill near Berlin, for the architecture, the atmosphere and the sense of history, but finding the walls daubed with Street Art was the icing on the cake. When I suggested to Digital Cosmonaut and Irish Berliner (the man behind Abandoned Berlin) that we visit the disused […]
Papierfabrik Wolfswinkel is a disused paper mill about an hour from Berlin by train and bus (including waiting for connections) and an urbex enthusiast’s wet dream. Last week I met up with a couple of fellow Berliners eager to explore Berlin’s past through its abandoned buildings – Digital Cosmonaut and Irish Berliner of Abandoned Berlin. You can see Digital Cosmonaut’s […]
