Chapter 10: Berlin

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Hey there! Long time no see :) Anyway, I’m back, not that any of you were waiting for me, but hey… I like lying to myself.

Anyway, as you may now I’m argentine and I’ve lived my whole life in Argentina. Well, until past may when I moved to Switzerland. Fact is, i had to go and get my Visa in Berlin. I made a very short trip there and I took some of the photos you can see now.

What can I say about Berlin…. it’s just one of those cities that is so cool you always have to come back. I was there three times and I simply love it. It might not be the nicest city in the world, but it’s just so interesting and so full of life.. ohh…. I just want to go back there for a few more days!

Anyway… what if I just post of the pictures. Much better than reading what I have to say, huh? ;)

The traffic lights are funny. People are represented with this green man with a hat. Of course you can buy T-shirts and all type of merchandising featuring this man :)

Another trademark of Berlin is the bear. Of course there is also lots of merchandising featuring him.

Though the wall dividing east and west Berlin was destroyed, there are still some parts that are exhibited.

The romantic nightscape of Europe

Paris, France

The early evening sky of Paris, France and the red car parked by Charles de Gaulle airport seemed to go so well together.

July 29^th 2009. The picture I took on the way to the hotel from Charles de Gaulle airport of Paris, France in the car looking at the beautiful evening sky out of the window.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 0.700sㅣf/2.8ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

The outdoor restaurant by Seine River. My friends and I came here for dinner and the view only got more and more beautiful as it darkened. Seine River was running right by our side and if we looked up a little the fully lit Eiffel Tower was to be seen. It was all so romantic. Looking around, I could see a couple every ten seconds and watching them whispering love to each other in this romantic place, I thought to myself that I would one day come here again with my love. We did nothing but just watch Seine River and the Eiffel Tower with our heads propped on our chins. Not knowing that time was passing by, we just couldn’t get enough of it.

Prague, Czech

This is the picture that I took on the way to bridge Karluv Most, the place known to have the most beautiful night scene in Prague after visiting the new parts of Prague.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/2sㅣf/2.8ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

This place was the only light that came out of the dark alley. The place I had wanted to go because it somehow looked cozy and warm… But sadly I found it on the last day of my stay in Prague so I couldn’t go.

From Prague, Czech to Wien, Austria

The sunset that I saw out of the window of the Euro Lines bus on the way from Prague, Czech to Wien, Austria was really beautiful.

The big city Wien had a glamorous night look whereas Salzburg’s night was simple and sentimental, warm and sweet.

Munich, Germany

The night of Munich was full of the music from the streets. Thanks to the beautiful nightscape and the fabulous musicians, the night of Munich was a joy for my ears and eyes, and such a memory.

Street Artists -2-

Street Artists

While traveling Europe, one of the scenes that come across the most is the artists on the streets. Dreams and passions are felt at the tip of their fingers. Also, I could come across Europeans enjoying that culture quite often. As for me, if I see a painting at a museum that I had already come across before I just take a photo in front of it and move on to the next one. So I just basically look around whereas the Europeans seem to carefully appreciate each and every piece that’s there. There are people who sketch a certain piece onto their notebook or those who try to relive the moment of the artist and look into how the art piece was produced. I would like to resemble their vision, their love for art.

The city where I live

Hello. This is my first post here.

I’m not a good writer so please understand.

First, thank you Nadia and Sean, that they’ve found me in the crowd - thanks!

The most famous building in the city.

My name is Daniel ( aka Daniel*1977)

I live in Poland - Central Europe. I live in Warsaw since 1999.

I moved here with my girlfriend which is now my wife.

It’s not us. We had a wedding in the mountains with snow :)

By the time I met this city well. Many things happened over time, but have always wanted to show what I see.

 

Check your weight

On my pictures you can see that this city is depressing, but no, it is not such.
This is quite a large city, there are many interesting things to see.

Hole in the wall

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/125 ㅣf/6.0 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

You can spend good time with friends or alone.
There are some places where it is better not to be. The place is full of contrasts, are rich, poor and avarege.

Under the city

[Samsung Pro815 1/15 ㅣf/2.2 ㅣISO 50ㅣ7.4mm]

I do not know why show it in such a dirty way.

Maybe it’s because most of the year here is all gray, all run.

Blue car

[Samsung Pro815 1/15 ㅣf/8.0 ㅣISO 50ㅣ14.2mm]

City during the Second World War have been destroyed, you can see how the new mixed with old.

Alone in the wall

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/60 ㅣf/4.0 ㅣISO 80ㅣ5.0mm]

Old school new school

Head UP!!!

[Samsung Pro815 1/400 ㅣf/5.0 ㅣISO 50ㅣ34.8mm]

Wall of green

In many places you can see the memory. Perhaps this should not be forgotten, but so we do not have to remember.

Carriage of crosses

Let’s play

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/90 ㅣf/4.7 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

Now comes the summer, my favorite season - I hope that I see a city from the bright side.
