Berlin, Germany Photo Gallery
Last summer I had the oportunity to visit Berlin, Germany for a long weekend. The weather was glorious and I was pleasantly surprised by the city. The past ten years have seen a renaissance of art, culture and architecture in Berlin. There are plenty of sites, old and new, to photograph and enjoy.
