As soon as I heard that a large-scale map of Berlin was being created on the Schlossplatz, entitled City of Diversity (Stadt der Vielfalt), as part of the city’s 775th anniversary celebrations I was fascinated to see how it would turn out. Over the course of the next 9 days I went to the Schlossplatz 3 […]
Make Love Not War
Bergmann Curry
I went to Bergmann Curry a few weeks back on the recommendation of @jeroenvanmarle. Jeroen had read my post singing the praises of Zur Bratpfanne and knew about my quest for the ‘Best of the Wurst’ in Berlin.

Stroke Urban Art Fair 2012 in Berlin

The Language of Love
Stolpersteine 126
I saw just one group of Stolpersteine this week but I have had to separate them into two photos to upload to my Stolpersteine Gallery. Unfortunately, some idiot has stuck stickers between and around the memorials, presumably in the hope that they will appear in someone’s photos. I’ve cropped the images as tight as I […]
