Welcome back my Steemian friends to the second part of my Berlin journey!
Today I left Berlin and spent the last day as always taking pictures, speaking with locals and searching for the best restaurant in town. Well, I was unlucky enough to forget the time and left Berlin without having dinner at all. Taking pictures takes time! Enjoy the second part of my Berlin trip through my lens.
The following pictures were taken in Berlins government district. Here you can see the Reichstagsgebaeude where you will find the Deutscher Bundestag as well as the Band des Bundes where you can find the Bundeskanzleramt
A very magnificent place with incredible architecture. Perhaps one of the cleanest areas in Berlin. From there I took the bike to visit the old border that divided Berlin into an eastern and western part.
Some of you asked me what camera and lens I use. I took all the pictures with my Nikon D750 and the lens you will see below. Furthermore I used a 50mm f/1.4 lens to take the picture of the other lens.
This is the old border which divided Berlin. It's quite a sad story because many people lost their lives at this place. If you tried to cross the border without permission they shot you. It was also called the Todesstreifen (death strip). Luckily these times are over and today there is a memorial in commemoration of the victims.
Berlin itself is like a huge history book. Wherever you go you will encounter historic sites. I personally like this since we never should forget the past. The key to the future lies in the past and we should never repeat the mistakes we did.
Thanks for following me on my journey and see the world through my lens. Soon I will travel to Sweden and Greece. There is a little surprise for you. The first one to guess correctly what I got will receive 10 Steem Dollars. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me where your last travel destination was and how you liked this post.
Steem on!
