I'll try to make up for those omissions in the Berlin galleries soon. Thanks
for looking.
Do you have a gallery of photos from your visit? Mine are by no means
comprehensive (and I was dodging a lot of rain).
The skies being so bleak if not actually leaking I tried to shoot details
and coolur and people instead, where I could. Of course I'm posting probably
5% of what I shot.
