Just for fun. I went twice to Berlin last year, a city I hadn't visited in 30 years. Loved it, but mass tourism certainly leaves its mark. Leica M9, 28 mm elmarit

So that's Berlin. It looks so - new, and so - just like everywhere else. Those Segways are everywhere - I must try to snap a shot of a small herd of them from Canberra, Australia, preferably with a backdrop of Kangaroos. Thanks for the glimpses.

Ken, it is also, especially in the former east sector, a remarkably funky place with squats and punks everywhere, although the developers are rapidly moving in. It's probably the cheapest city in Europe, and I have a lot of good conversations there

Well, it is pretty new. About 68 years old now. If there hadn't been a war it wouldn't look like everywhere else, but unexpected and unpleasant changes often are the result of hubris.

I really like the one with Darth Vader. I don't know if it's street or just whimsical, but the guide book in the pocket, the Darth Vader, and the memorial statue all together is good stuff.

Andrew, The "memorial statues" are mimes!

Ah! I should have noticed the little box! Actually I did notice it, but dismissed it, and the dolly as well, as curious elements I decided I didn't much care about. How nice to see them, now!
