So right here is an element two of that journey.

In the primary half of the weblog, I famous that I had been utilizing my iPhone digital camera for many of the pictures that I took, nonetheless, I did convey each my little Fujifilm X-E4 and my larger Canon Eos R6 Mark II as effectively. We had stayed in two completely different spots whereas we have been there. The first week we stayed close to Alexander Platz, by the outdated TV tower.

The climate whereas we have been over that facet of town was fairly dismal, though that type of performed to the temper. It was continually damp and chilly and there have been solely a few days the place it was truly sunny. Much of the structure right here is clearly a holdover from the previous east Berlin, and you’ll see remnants of it in all places. Brutalism is definitely the order of the day.
