Day 130 - Photography Berlin, Reichstag: experimenting with digital double exposure

With double exposure it is possible to create really magic photos.

During my stay in Berlin I took photos of the Reichstag. I combined one of these photos with a photo of an art work, representing the city of Berlin, and varied the blending mode.

This is the result:

Day 79 - The Berlin Wall (2) - monument of freedom and art

In Berlin remains of the wall cannot only be seen at the East Side Gallery.

Remains of the wall can also be seen at Checkpoint Charlie and the Potsdamer Platz.
At the Potsdamer Platz the remains are covered with graffiti which turns them in
'art' pieces.

Underneath two photos I took myself at the Potsdamer Platz.

Day 78 - The Berlin Wall: East Side Gallery

The Berlin Wall was the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989. It was also a symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. 

Memories of the Wall, however, are still very much alive. The most famous part is the East Side Gallery, 
an international memorial for freedom. The gallery consists of 105 paintings form artists from all over the world. 

Part of the East Side Gallery has to be removed to make way to a new bridge and a luxury block of flats. Hundreds of people protest against the demolition work an dhop that the Gallery can be saved...

Day 11 - Sarah Illenberger speaks in images

One of the designers-illustrators I admire a lot is
SARAH ILLENBERGER.

She uses simple materials such as paper, food, textiles
and wood to create new, vivid, often humorous images
that make stories come to life.
