Just a little meander through Berlin last week, in magnificent sunshine…
Three landmarks in one photo
The Caspar David Friedrich exhibition was magnificent, although initially I thought it was just the one room and nearly forgot to go upstairs. Also enjoyed seeing a few Impressionists and German painters here.
Visible from pretty much everywhere in the centre of Berlin
The old runway of Tempelhof airport is now a place to cycle and skateboard and the whole airfield is full of sports clubs, community gardening projects, wildlife reserves and BBQs.
There are still remembrances of things past in the most unexpectedly quiet corners of Berlin
Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island) in Wannsee is an odd little slice of history and architecture
Have been reliably informed that spaceship-like building is Brad Pitt’s house on Wannsee. He only visits occasionally and usually rents it out.
Thanks for my virtual Berlin trip! I’ve gazed across the Lake at that house but had no idea it was Brad Pitt’s. Had to be someone with oodles of money, though.
It looks like a wonderful trip and scout, with art, nature and a blend of old and new. Thanks for the insight into what will soon become your new world.
Did this visit step up your excitement about an eventual move to Berlin? Or help define what part of it might be most realistic for the apartment search?

Lovely photos, Marina Sofia! I’m so glad for you that you had a good trip to Berlin! Thanks for sharing these.
Well, I’ve never been to Berlin but it looks glorious!!!
That top photo made me think of Canaletto:)

Felt it was absolutely the right next move for me!
This is really exciting!
