Modern Berlin: Potsdam Square

No, Berlin is not that green everywhere. Here, on the Potsdam Square (in German: Potsdamer Platz) it is mostly grey or greyish-blue. High buildings tower into the sky, broad streets are crossing.
When the wall between the Eastern and Western part of Berlin still stood, this place was a large no-go area, belonging to the eastern [...]

Life is Chaos

I took this photo from a wooden platform at the banks of a pool with white and red water lilies. Looking over the pond I saw all the water lilies most beautifully arranged on the water. Then I turned round and saw this: Green chaos with the two red spots of water lilies.
And that made [...]
