TV-Tower and Street Lamp n a Sunny Day - Photo: T.Bortels/nuberlin.com
After quite many cloudy days with rain and wind we finally had some sunny days – and of course I took the opportunity to take some photos. Here is one taken in Fehrbelliner Strasse near Weinbergspark. The sunlight is plaing with the old street lamp and in the distance the TV-Tower is beautiful as always. […]
Cherry Blossum, Zionskirche – Photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Walking the streets of Berlin you may have noticed Cherry trees here and there. Especially during spring time, when the cherry trees begin to blossom, one may be left puzzled why there are so many cherry trees, and why they seem to be planted in rather distinct places. The answer is quite simple: most of […]
Tempelhofer Feld, view to TV-Tower - Photo: TBortels/nuBerlin.com
In the Summer taking a walk on Tempelhofer Feld is not really my thing. You can’t really hide from the sun – and at least for my taste there is just a bit too much going on. And that is a good thing – but I prefer my walks to be a bit more relaxed. […]
Sunny Monday in Mitte - Photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Yes, weather can be nice in March – sometimes. Last Monday it was sunny. And I had the opportunity to go ‘shopping’ in Mitte.

Walking down towards Karl-Marx-Allee, coming from Alexanderplatz, you may have seen the huge piece of streetart written on the building of the former Haus der Statistik (House of Statistics) at the corner of Otto-Braun-Strasse: “STOP WARS”. It is currently probably one of the most photographed pieces of streetart around here – although one may want […]
Sunrise in Oderberger Strasse - Photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Getting up early can pay off – especially when it’s a sunny day. It still was quite cold, but the view down Oderberger Strasse is very well worth getting cold hands. And in case you were ever wondering in what direction the Oderberger Strasse is pointing: it pretty much stretches quite accurately in a West-East […]
Sunny winter day: Tram at Kastanienallee Schoenhauser - photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Winter in Berlin can be very grey and dark and wet and cold and – not so nice. And then again you learn to appreciate a sunny morning with blue skies even more. On these rather rare days Instagram is almost boiling over with photos of sunny streets and blue skies and even though the […]
