Out of the Jurisdiction: Berlin

Two symbols of Germany and Berlin.  The Brandenburg Gate and pretzels.


A bike race behind the Brandenburg Gate.


The Reichstag, with a glass dome addition signifying the new German transparency.


Gendarmenmarkt.  A plaza with a French and German church and a concert hall.


The Allied Museum highlights the contributions of the Allied Forces in the post-war period.
This card was distributed to U.S. soldiers during the Berlin Airlift.

    It's nice to see some of the historical sights in Germany through your lens.

    It would have been great to meet up with Halcyon, but it was a one day race into Berlin, race around Berlin and race back from Berlin.
