A special request came in recently for more neighborhood shots (hi, Mom!) and so I'm kicking things off with this set. I took a couple of walks around our neighborhood, Prenzlauer Berg, over the weekend, and I spent a lot of time looking up. Most of the buildings around here were built during the first half of the 20th century, and restored after the fall of the Wall. As you can see, the extent of the restoration varies from building to building. One of my favorite things about the particular beauty of Berlin is that it's a rough-around-the-edges kind of beauty - even in the super-trendy Prenzlauer Berg.
That last shot is of our apartment here. When we see those flags from a block or so away, we know we're almost home.
