My previous visit to the city was in 1992, and the changes that have occurred since then are truly amazing. Berlin is a big city, with lots of broad boulevards like Paris or Madrid, but now has a totally modern feel to it. For my PAWs, I have chosen some people snaps and some (hopefully) non-standard views of a couple of landmarks. First, a couple at the Balzac Caf?: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2.jpg We happened upon this guy at a crossing. A quick "Darf ich?" resulted in yes: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2alt1.jpg Inside Sony Center, a huge office complex/mall in what used to be no-man's land: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2alt2.jpg What Brandenburg Gate looks like when you walk through it: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2alt3.jpg ...and on the other side: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2alt4.jpg Finally, an image from the stunning new rotunda on the Reichstag building: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_2alt5.jpg In addition to these, I have put together a more complete Berlin gallery at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexberlin.html Comments and critique are always welcome and appreciated.
