East Side Gallery

It’s official, my smart phone has replaced my point and shoot camera for good.  On days where I don’t feel like carrying around my big DSLR and lenses it’s a treat to simply carry one device and have everything at my fingertips so that I can quickly do updates in social media on my real time travels.  My favorite go-to app is Instagram.  I take more casual photos via Instagram as I’m out walking about and after a month in Berlin I have amassed quite a few Berlin Instagram photos.  Berlin is such a diverse city – sometimes gritty, sometimes artistic, sometimes sophisticated – it’s fun to try to capture all of it’s sides. Sit back and enjoy a little showing of Berlinstagram – a collection of some of my favorite street pics from the last month in Berlin.

Friedrichshain on Karl Marx Allee – yes – snow again.

I’m watching you….at the old abandoned spy station – Teufelsberg

Radio Tower – the symbol of Berlin at Alexanderplatz

Crumbling staircase at abandoned hospital – Beelitz

Our dinner party chef, Ofir, cooking delicious food in our kitchen! Yum!

Window shopping the new spring fashions – while snow falls in Berlin…again.
