Would you ever believe that this picture was shot in Berlin?
Many visitors coming to Berlin are very much surprised when they see how green the city is. Especially they are amazed when they take a boat trip along the Landwehrkanal – which leads through such crowded parts of Berlin like Neukölln and Kreuzberg.
You can take a walk along the Landwehrcanal as well and enjoy the shadow of the trees when the sun is hot. You can take a book and sit down near the water; eventually you will be visited by ever hungry ducks and swans. It’s one of my favourite places to go – which are yours?
I’ve been reading so much about Berlin lately. Your photo takes the thoughts I’ve having one level deeper. I hear your feelings for the city in your words. I’m going to have to find a way to visit now.
That looks very much like the Rideau Canal in Ottawa!
Walking along water, just being near it, seems to soothe my soul and mind. Your photo captures that nicely.
Beautiful. An so peaceful.
I thought of the Hanging Gardens for some reason, one of those wonders of the world.
We need our green spaces Ulla. Thanks for sharing this surprising one from Berlin.
Ulla, you are truly exposing me to beauty I did not know existed. I love coming here and seeing your world through your eyes. It is much better than reading about it or seeing visions of it on television. Your world is beautiful and I would love to visit there one day.
Karen and Liz,
it would be a pleasure for me to show you around when you manage to come to Berlin.
Janice,
Berlin has a lot of these green spaces. People coming here often don’t believe it, because what they have in their minds, are the big buildings and the crowded streets.
I would have never thought of Berlin as green. Thanks for illuminating something new.
