Heidelberger Platz

  I´m planning a new series for my blog: train stations of Berlin!

Today, I´m showing you photographs

13th of May – Train Day

    Happy Train Day! After a couple of days of rest for my arms, I hope I can get back to where I started this month and continue with my May challenge of World Days. (Those tendons are still quite testy, so please don´t tell them what I´m up to. 😉 ) For me

A Riddle Solved…

As promised I´m revealing today the nature of the thing that I´ve been tormenting you with yesterday 😉 But first I want to thank you for your lovely suggestions and comments!

Sepia Spell: The Cathedral

    As promised, I´m showing you this time the Berlin Cathedral (short for: Evangelical Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church) as it can be seen from the Friedrichs Bridge. I decided to lie on the floor to give you a sense of the bridge´s width too, which really is quite impressive especially since it´s only
