Well, we did not go to Berlin for a beer or wine festival. This destination was part of our summer vacation that was purely to see and with a fraction of our minds imagine the historical events - World War I and World War II.
As a little child you accept things differently. Stories sound more impressive especially when the story teller has gone through it him/herself. Grandparents who fought, defeated, got injured and won. Separating Berlin from the rest of the Germany. Calling it East and West. But what was the price for the victory? Was it worth it?
I don't want to go into details and tell you about the history. I am sure you have learnt it at school and can refresh your mind about it. Yet one of my MUST see parts of Berlin was The Wall. There is only some of it that is reserved and is covered in graffiti/wall art. So we went for a hunt.
I imagined Berlin very different to what I saw. Beautiful wide boulevards, surrounding the main streets, gave this city a relaxed and pleasant feel. Considering the fact that it is only few years that the city became a tourist attraction site (as we were informed by our host), the queues to get into the museums were amazingly long. And while we were waiting...
Being a wedding photographer I couldn't resist but ask for permission from this bride and groom to take these photos of them looking all loved and romantic. A very interesting experience for me and for them too, I guess. Being photographer in a public area where every stranger is watching you pose, must be nerve-raking. But looking at the photos now it doesn't look like she minds it at all.
I shall stop my blog post on this pleasant note, but will come back with more from Berlin, Germany. Stay tuned!
Happy Saturday
With love
