Walking around the German Cathedral and the few museums on the island in the river Spree.

Walking Berlin (Part 3 - Alexanderplatz)

Back in Berlin I was in a deep hole. Like always after a big project. You need to find motivation for the next. So another long walk from Hackescher Markt to Alexanderplatz during dusk.

Last Trip to Cologne

Von 20110308-Cologne and Cathedral

After nearly five month of weekly flying to cologne the time drew to a close and therefore I equipped the camera and went for pictures on the way from work to hotel.

So I was crossing the river Rhine and visiting the Cathedral.

Things

In February I finally bought a new camera.

Panasonic DMC-GF2KEG-R

Yes, I took the red one... and then, tataaaa, I started taking pictures of things.

Hynek and Nils from shutternoise recommended the camera for me. I wanted to have a small travel camera that would catch awesomeness in pictures. I really missed that during my last trip. The small compact one was OK and did a lot of good work. But the pictures could have been better.

I finally decided to buy this camera after reading this recommended article GF1 Fieldtest

Winter in Berlin

Not much was happening. It was awfully cold. Definitely not my cup of tea. I was getting depressed while remembering the year before. Sun, high temperatures, tropical flowers, beaches, diving, cycling... I started reliving a lot of my traveling experience in dreams and pictures.

On the other hand it has been a while since the last really big snow filled winter.

It has been a while...

... since my last post. Over half a year ago I wrote some stuff about Cologne.

Since then I did a lot and nothing. I was nearly full time in cologne for the past half year and it was wearing me down. Three weeks ago the mission ended. Not like I expected with a big blast more like a slow and cheerful, we will see each other again and hopefully not to soon.

Now I am back in Berlin and after doing a lot to improve my room. I decided to make a few blogposts and show my fellow readers a bit of my life in the last few month.
