Meeting a squirrel in a meadow with plenty of grape hyacinths in Berlin’s "Britzer Garden“.
Weather here now is not so inviting for photo shooting spring images, I found this one in my archives! :)

The Berlin subway does not run exclusively underground. There is an extensive network of routes, both on the surface and as an elevated railway. View from the platform, we can see an old narrow-gauge railway from the "Möckernbrücke" station that crosses the Landwehr Canal.

I was almost ready to trash this photo from my archives.
When I had Lumix FZ1000 camera new, I made lots of experiments, overexposures, high keys and so on.
But from all of them I kept this Magnolia shot and made a new RAW processing, using DxO Pur RAW and then Luminar Neo by Skylum.

An octagon gate in the wall which surrounds a part of the Chinese Garden. HBM
“8“ is the absolute favorite number of the Chinese. It looks like the symbol for infinity ∞, so the Chinese assume infinite happiness. In addition, there are 8 Taoist symbols and 8 treasures, 8 lotus petals and 8 immortals in Buddhism.
In the Chinese Garden in Berlin
Der Gang durch das achteckige Tor zu unendlichem Glück.
„8“ ist die absolute Lieblingszahl der Chinesen. Sie sieht aus, wie das Symbol für Unendlichkeit ∞, demnach gehen Chinesen von unendlichem Glück aus. Darüber hinaus gibt es 8 Taoistische Symbole und 8 Schätze, 8 Lotusblütenblätter und 8 Unsterbliche im Buddhismus.

The reflection of the "Model One“ showed up at the Kurfürstendamm / Joachimsthaler Str. in Berlin.
Yesterday I have been in this area for a dentist appointment. I didn't have my good camera with me because at the moment I can only get to this area by bus. These are so crowded that nobody can fall over in there! The two subway lines, which are otherwise also very busy in this direction, are not in operation at the same time due to construction work! So everyone is now squeezing into these buses during rush hour, as are the numerous tourists who are currently populating Berlin! For the way home, I therefore decided to save myself the unreasonable bus ride and walked a long way to get to another subway line that is in operation. So I crossed this intersection where suddenly, looking back, I saw this glorious reflection of "Motel One". Sometimes it's worth looking back! ;) When the traffic light went red, I stopped briefly in the middle of the street to take this photo with my smartphone. I don't normally take photos with the phone so it wasn't set correctly. But who knows if I can repeat these lighting conditions again with the good camera when the sun is in this position?
Conclusion: Never leave the house without a "real" camera, even if it's heavy!
Deutsch:
Gestern war ich wegen eines Zahnarzt Termins in dieser Gegend. Meine gute Kamera hatte ich nicht dabei, weil ich zur Zeit nur mit dem Bus in diese Gegend gelange. Diese sind derart überfüllt, dass niemand da drinnen umfallen kann! Die zwei U-Bahn Linien die sonst auch ziemlich stark frequentiert in diese Richtung führen, sind gleichzeitig wegen Bauarbeiten nicht in Betrieb! Alle quetschen sich also jetzt im Berufsverkehr in diese Buss ebenso wie die zahlreichen Touristen die zur Zeit Berlin bevölkern! Für den Heimweg beschloss ich deshalb mir die unzumutbare Busfahrt zu ersparen und ging zu Fuß eine weiter Strecke um zu eienr anderen U Bahn Linie zu gelangen, die in Betrieb ist. Daher überquerte ich diese Kreuzung wo ich plötzlich bei einem Blick zurück diese herrliche Spiegelung des "Motel One" sah. Manchmal lohnt es sich, mal zurückzuschauen! ;) Bei einer "Rot-Phase " der Ampel blieb ich kurz in der Mitte der Straße stehen um diese Foto mit meinem Smartphone zu machen. Normalerweise fotografiere ich nicht mit dem Phone, also war es nicht richtige eingestellt. Aber wer weiß ob ich diese Lichtverhältnisse bei diesem Stand der Sonne noch einmal genauso mit der guten Kamera wiederholen kann?
Fazit: Gehe niemals ohne "richtige" Kamera aus dem Haus, auc wenn die schwer ist!
Another part of the "Gardens of the World“ in Berlin - Marzahn
The garden of "the four rivers" was created according to the pattern of a Tschāhār Bāgh and has a size of 6100 square meters.
The oriental garden unites the garden traditions of different countries of the Orient. It represents an image of paradise. Ornamental and useful plants were planted in combination and meet the need for water, shade, color, fragrance and taste that is missing in the desert. The bubbling water fountains and the symmetry of the system are particularly impressive. It was opened in July 2005.

History of the Tacheles:
The building on Oranienburger Strasse was only given the name Tacheles in the 1990s through an artist initiative. The house was one of the Friedrichstrasse Passages built at the beginning of the 20th century.
At the beginning of the Second World War, the National Socialists used the building, then, in GDR times, the Free German Trade Union Confederation. Because the building was badly damaged during the Second World War, it should be blown up after the fall of the Wall in February 1990. But shortly before the demolition, the Tacheles artists' initiative occupied the building. Instead of demolishing it, it was possible to place the house under monument protection.
Gradually, the Tacheles established itself as a fixture in the Berlin art and culture scene. Numerous studios, exhibition areas, a cinema, a bar and larger rooms for concerts, readings, etc. made the Tacheles a diverse and innovative place and a magnet for Berliners and tourists.
After the lease between the artist group and the owner was no longer extended, there were public discussions for a long time about preserving the tile and using the building. Unsuccessful. The eviction took place in 2012.
The Tacheles has been facing a new future since 2016. On April 4th, 2016, preparatory work for the construction of a new city quarter began on the site of the building, which had been vacant for years. The area is to be renovated and used for offices, shops and apartments. A further cultural use is also being considered: The Swedish photography museum Fotografiska wants to open a branch in the former Tacheles. The new opening is planned for 2022.
Geschichte des Tacheles
Das Gebäude in der Oranienburger Straße in Berlin - Mitte erhielt erst in den 90er Jahren durch eine Künstlerinitiative den Namen Tacheles. Das Haus gehörte zu den am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts errichteten Friedrichstraßenpassagen. Mit Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs nutzen die Nationalsozialisten den Bau, danach, zu DDR-Zeiten, der Freie Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund. Weil das Gebäude während des Zweiten Weltkrieges stark beschädigt worden war, sollte es nach der Wende im Februar 1990 gesprengt werden. Doch kurz vor der Sprengung besetzte die Künstlerinitiative Tacheles das Gebäude. Statt eines Abrisses konnte erreicht werden, dass das Haus unter Denkmalschutz gestellt wurde.
Nach und nach etablierte sich das Tacheles zu einer festen Größe in der Berliner Kunst- und Kulturszene. Zahlreiche Ateliers, Ausstellungsflächen, ein Kino, eine Bar und größere Räume für Konzerte, Lesungen usw. machten das Tacheles zu einem vielfältigen und innovativen Ort und zu einem Magneten für Berliner und Touristen.
Nachdem der Mietvertrag zwischen der Künstlergruppe und dem Eigentümer nicht mehr verlängert wurde, gab es lange Zeit öffentliche Diskussionen über einen Erhalt des Tacheles und die Nutzung des Gebäudes. Erfolglos. Die Zwangsräumung erfolgte 2012.
Das Tacheles steht seit dem Jahr 2016 vor einer neuen Zukunft. Auf dem Gelände des seit Jahren leerstehenden Gebäudes begannen am 04. April 2016 die Vorarbeiten für den Bau eines neuen Stadtquartiers. Das Areal soll dabei saniert und für Büros, Shops und Wohnungen genutzt werden. Auch eine kulturelle Weiternutzung ist angedacht: Das schwedische Fotografiemuseum Fotografiska will eine Dependance im ehemaligen Tacheles eröffnen. Die Neueröffnung ist 2022 geplant.

Das frühere "Kaiserliche Postfuhramt" ist ein repräsentatives Backsteingebäude an der Oranienburger Straße im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte. Kaum jemand kennt seinen Namen und seine Geschichte – und doch handelt es sich um einen der prächtigsten historistischen Bauten Berlins, errichtet 1875-1881) und den vielleicht aufwendigsten Behördenbau seiner Zeit.
Hinter dem zweiflügligen Hauptbau verbergen sich zwei niedrige Hoftrakte, deren damalige Nutzung dem ganzen Komplex seinen Namen gab: die Postkutschenremisen und die Stallungen für etwa 250 Pferde. Im Hauptbau selbst waren die zugehörigen Verwaltungsräume, Wohnungen für Postbedienstete, ein Postamt und ein Telegraphen-Ingenieurbüro untergebracht; ein weiterer Anbau im Hof diente als Maschinen- und Kesselhaus der Berliner Rohrpost. Seit 1975 steht es unter Denkmalschutz
The “Postfuhramt“ (formerly: Imperial Post Office) is a representative brick building on Oranienburger Strasse in Berlin-Mitty.
Hardly anyone knows its name and its history - and yet it is one of the most splendid historical buildings in Berlin, erected between 1875 and 1881) and perhaps the most elaborate government building of its time.
Behind the two-winged main building there are two low courtyard wings, the use of which at the time gave the whole complex its name: the stagecoach shed and the stables for around 250 horses. The main building itself housed the associated administration rooms, apartments for postal workers, a post office and a telegraph engineering office; Another extension in the courtyard served as a machine and boiler house for the Berlin pneumatic post.
It has been a listed building since 1975.
I took this photo in 1999 with an analog Canon EOS AZ300 camera, and Kodak Gold negative film, ISO 100. Then scanned it with a Nikon Coolscan LS40ED film scanner.

Berlin is the name of a sculpture on the Tauentzienstraße in western Berlin, the capital of Germany.
First conceived in 1985 and unveiled by the husband-and-wife sculpting team of Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff and Martin Matschinsky in 1987, the sculpture's principal motif, a "broken chain", was meant to symbolize the severed connections between West and East Berlin due to the construction of the Berlin Wall.
Even though the Wall has since been dismantled, the sculpture was bought by the city from Mrs. Matschinsky-Denninghoff to commemorate the unfortunate chapter in German history
