Blue Sky, Clouds, Rainbow
The sky looked pretty strange: thick clouds next to a blue sky, plus a rainbow – and the evening sun makes the clouds glow yellow-orange. Sometimes everything comes together.
Stolpersteine in Auguststraße
Stolpersteine in front of Auguststraße 27 in Berlin Mitte:
Facade of Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus, Spree
On the left, part of the imposing façade of the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus. Fortunately, someone is walking along the banks of the Spree – so the dimensions of the façade become clear.
On the right, you can see the Paul Löbe House – or, of course, the part of the façade of the Paul Löbe House facing the Spree, with the Reichstag building behind it.
Reichstag, Spree, Excursion Boat Oranje Nassau
View of the Reichstag building, the Spree and the Oranje Nassau excursion boat passing by.
The Oranje Nassau is Berlin’s first fully electrically powered excursion boat. Although the ship was built in the 1990s, it was converted from diesel propulsion to fully electric propulsion in 2022.
Here is an article or press release about the Oranje Nassau on the press portal pressmare.it:
Stolpersteine Brunnenstrasse
Three Stolpersteine in front of Brunnenstraße 41 in Berlin Mitte
Landwehrkanal from Cornelius Bridge
View of the Landwehrkanal in Berlin Tiergarten. In the distance, you can just make out the Lichtenstein Bridge – a double bridge, the western section of which has been called the Rosa-Luxemburg-Steg since 2012 in honor of the politician Rosa Luxemburg, who was murdered in 1919.
Full Moon
It may sound strange at first, but I took this full moon photo with an ordinary iPhone 12 Mini. However, I didn’t take the photo ‘just like that’, of course, but through a telescope.
Prater
A view of part of the construction site at the Prater – or Pratergarten in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg – in spring 2024. On the right side you can see parts of the hall where the “Bastard” club used to be located. In the center of the picture you can see the restaurant.

Schlossstraße
Schlossstraße in Berlin Steglitz on a quiet Tuesday evening at blue hour. On the left you can see the Feuerbachstraße ending at Schlossstraße, on the right you can see the Karstadt department store. In the background on the right-hand side of the street is the Bierpinsel, or rather the silhouette of the Bierpinsel – to the left of it, also in silhouette, is the Steglitzer Kreisel construction site.
Elbe Winter Sunset
The winter flood of the Elbe offers the winter sunset plenty of space to play with. The bushes and trees along the Elbe meadows reflect on the river and form a stage for the sun, which is just still visible, glowing orange above the river.
Elbe flood – road closed
New Year’s Eve walk to the Dömitzer Bridge including high water sight seeing. Near Kaltenhof a small road is closed, which leads across the Elbe meadows to the Elbe and used to serve as a link to the temporary ferry landing stage before the Dömitzer motorway bridge was built.
It is quite an unsettling feeling to stand in the Elbe and feel the force with which the water of the Elbe flows past. And if you look closely, you notice how the water level continues to rise slowly but steadily.

Fly Agaric
It’s fall. And in the fall, mushrooms sprout from the ground – like mushrooms that sprout from the ground. Here is a particularly beautiful fly agaric.
Johannes Brahms Statue Lübeck
Very close to the Lübeck University of Music you can find a statue of the composer Johannes Brahms. The bronze figure was created by the sculptor Claus Görtz and shows Johannes Brahms walking, more or less relaxed, on the southern bank of the River Trave. His right hand is holding his hat and pointing into the air, as if he has just had an idea for a new composition. And legend has it that Johannes Brahms is said to actually have had ideas for new compositions on his various walks – including along the banks of the river Trave.

Dömitz Bridge Details: Isolators
The newly opened skywalk now offers completely new views – here, for example, of a technical detail of the bridge: Insulators attached to the bridge arches. Behind it, the dike – and on the horizon, a storm is brewing.
Dömitz Railway Bridge
View from the end of the Skywalk on the Dömitzer Bridge – or Dömitzer Railway Bridge, which was newly opened in August – to the further course of the bridge in the direction of Dömitz on a Sunday in August.
