The insanely talented AliCé (Alice Pasquini), an andBerlin favourite, has been back in Berlin brightening the streets with her beautiful Street Art. Knowing AliCé flew in last Thursday and spent the weekend painting in the city I had to get out and about and see what she has been up to. I didn’t manage to […]
Snapshot: Wheel’s On Fire
This photo of the Ferris Wheel near Alexanderplatz in Berlin, set up as part of the Berliner Weichnachtszeit Christmas Market, was taken from a spot near the base of the Fernsehturm, as the sun began to set on an autumn evening. Click here to see an image of the same Ferris Wheel at night.
Snapshot: Berlin Skyline at Night from dem Französischen Dom
This shot of the Berlin skyline at night was taken form the viewing platform of the Französischer Dom (French Cathedral) on Gendarmenmarkt as I took photos of the Weihnachtsmarkt Zauber for my Christmas Markets in Berlin – 5 Stars post.
Dede On Tour in Berlin – Mutant Animals and Plasters
The sum total of what I have been able to find out about Dede (sometimes referred to as Dede Confidential – now I know where that name comes from) is that he is an Israeli Street Artist and is prolific in Tel Aviv. It was his Wild Life series of Siamese animals that I first noticed […]

Damaged during the war, it has been beautifully restored and the interior is as spectacular as the outside (check out my photos here). Like the Fernsehturm, this is a Berlin landmark that I photograph often. Don’t be put off a […]
White Trash Fast Food – Rock n Roll Bingo
Last week I made my third Wednesday night visit to Rock n Roll Bingo at White Trash Fast Food in Berlin. The venue on Schönhauser Allee* is dark and slightly dingy – part restaurant, part bar, part club – and has an eclectic mix of art on the walls, all of which combine to give […]
XOOOOX in Berlin
XOOOOX is a Berlin based Street Artist, whose name was chosen for its symmetry. He started out expressing himself through graffiti but drawing on his observations of the fashion industry began pasting pictures cut from magazines around the streets.

Snapshot: Fernsehturm and Ferris Wheel
As I am launching a new series of posts, my Snapshots of Berlin, it seemed fitting to start with a photo of my favourite Berlin building, the Fernsehturm (TV Tower). The Ferris Wheel has been set up as part of the Christmas Market. This photo was taken from The Schlossplatz as the sun was setting and the […]
