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? ;)

Potsdamer Platz. This place was almost totally destroyed after the second world war. Nowadays is a very popular and modern place.

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.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/2sㅣf/3.0ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.3mm]

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.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/3sㅣf/3.6ㅣISO 200ㅣ6.3mm]

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.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/30sㅣf/2.8ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.3mm]

Austria

- Wien

- Salzburg

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/8sㅣf/2.8ㅣISO 800ㅣ4.3mm]

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.

Swiss, Germany – A place I wish to stay

From time to time when I have a headache or feel tired, I walk the streets. Walking by colleges gives me an unknown energy and through a park or a quiet promenade, I get sentimental. How many streets would there be that give me energy? I took a look.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/180sㅣf/5.8ㅣISO 80ㅣ21.5mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/250sㅣf/4.0ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/500sㅣf/5.1ㅣISO 80ㅣ6.3mm]

The first till the fourth picture is Interlaken, Swiss. The nature and the streets seemed to be one with all the trees and the lake by the street. When I became tired of studying for exams or life itself, it seemed like stress just disappeared just by walking these streets. The Alps and the lake that lays aside the street opened my heart and the green grass gave me serenity.

The seemingly endless lake resembled the sea. Usually there are only beaches but aren’t any streets with benches by the sea. So it was different to look at the sea sitting on a bench. I was walking the streets of the city but on one side I could see the sea and the other I could see buildings which make we wonder whether I was in the city or out in the country. Anyways, it really felt amazing.

The fifth and sixth photo is a square in Heidelberg, Germany. A square is a place that has two faces to it since if there’s too many people it’s noisy and if there isn’t anyone it is so quiet and empty. This square interestingly has alphabets here and there which made me wonder why they were there. So I asked a person passing by what the alphabets were, and they turned out to mean a name. When there are many people in this square the alphabets are unseen, but as the people leave the place one by one the alphabets are seen. This square that has various sides came to me as a different feeling.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/500sㅣf/4.0ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/180sㅣf/4.0ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/250sㅣf/5.1ㅣISO 250ㅣ6.3mm]

The last picture is Rotenberg, Germany. This place was quiet and there weren’t many people so it was good to take a walk. The beautiful green grass on the outside of the antique walls of the castle, and the lanes here and there between the grasses….. Unlike the hustle bustle that goes on inside the castle, the streets outside were really quiet. The wall seemed like a mysterious borderline that made the difference of the amount of people. Especially this road seemed to have been made just for the person who would sit on the bench. On the other hand, the bench at the end of the road seemed to arrogantly say ‘you have to walk a bit more to sit here’. I thought I would enjoy some time alone in the quiet and fall into meditation if I read the newspaper or a book here.
