I have only seen one Stolperstein in Berlin this week, mainly because I haven’t spent so much time wandering around outside. This was another one very close to home, a memorial to Georg Streiter (Schönhauser Allee 130). As usual I have added the photo to the gallery here. My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background […]

Zeiss Grossplanetarium & Ernst-Thälmann-Park
I’ve been aware of HDR photography for ages but it’s one of those things that I had never got around to trying out. Until now. I had always thought of it as a way of creating surreal images but I’ve been having some difficulties with taking photos where there are big variations in the light […]

The Bird
When I set out this morning my only intention was to take a stroll around the fleamarket at the Mauerpark and see how it looked after yesterday’s light snow and build up an appetite for lunch. I didn’t have any intention of eating out but as has happened on previous Sundays, as I reached the […]

A sunny stroll around the Kollwitzkiez
It was a bright sunny day when I woke up this morning so I decided to make the most of it and instead of studying German got outside earlier in the morning. First, I walked the streets between Torststrasse, Danziger Strasse, Schönhauser Allee / Kollwitzstrasse and Prenzlauer Allee. And after a trip to Curry 36 […]

Salomon Paskusz and Roschen Paskusz just a short distance along the road […]
