Potsdammer Platz by Paul Swanson

I absolutely love some of the major architecture and city planning that Berlin has to offer. Berlin has seized the opportunity of post-war reconstruction and evidently has not looked back. Potsdammer Platz has to be my most favourite modern city square; it’s expansive, bold and modern. Potsdammer Platz gives you a sense of urban enormity yet it feels open and you can see the sky.

Paul’s Milk

Paul Swanson drinking milk

If you haven’t heard me say how much I would love a litre of real milk then we probably haven’t talked in the last 12 months. Let’s just say that the milk in Ukraine … HAS ISSUES. But after many months of abstenance, broken only by some French long-life I acquired, I am pleased to be back on the real stuff: fresh, full cream milk. Let me just say for the record; the difference is like Diet Coke to Champagne! I know I’m not imagining things, this stuff really is FANTASTIC!!!

Believe it or not, I’ve taken up jogging now that holidays are are here; who could resist getting out and about when there are lovely places like this to enjoy? The above photo is my first attempt at high dynamic range imaging, a method of bringing more life to a photo.
