Berlin, a canal city?
Apparently there are more bridges then Venice...
And from a canal boat,
a unique way to see another of Berlin's personalities...

Berlin's children,
seemingly everywhere,
and enjoying urbanity,
in their own particular way...

And with memories of Berlin's unforgettable heavy hand of history...
it's inhabitants and it's visitors,
occupy their city,
for it's present and,
where it is going...

The Berlin of the past,
the present,
and of tomorrow...
the stage for the everyday...

Wall art as social commentary,
social backdrop,
a continuation of Berlin's long history of self examination...

More of Berlin's open air art,
and just part of the city's artistic free for all...

And everywhere bouquets of street art...

The art galleries of the streets and alleys around Hackescher Markt, Berlin.

Empty and roofless industrial buildings,
almost empty during the day,
explode throughout the night as restaurants and night clubs...

Berlin's version of industrial renewal...
