I am a passionately curious person who enjoys music, a good read and good company. My main hobby is literally researching the things that interest me and sometimes writing about and sharing my findings.

Walking In Berlin Hauptbahnhof

The entrance simply hints…

In November I was in Berlin. One of the things I did was making pictures of the train station. Now if you think “oh it is just a train station” then please reconsider. Visit the place then try to imagine walking to every corner of the building. Sometimes what seems obvious is not possible and then you take a closer look. Architecture is a form of art. First impressions can be deceptive.

Moving around…
Just looking down…
Ascend or descend…
So much space…
Wait until you look down…
A place to sit down.
How to get down…
Get from A to B…

If I had a full day and unrestricted access I would have been able to properly convey the scale of this train station. Yes I went on a holiday to Berlin and I show bits of audio, the Berlin Wall and its train station. It was a short stay and time was limited. Back to architecture.

In the distance you see the entrance…
Even the train looks small…
Exactly what you see…
That train is very red…
It really is a grey place…
A miniature tower in an enormous train stations…
It is not all grey there.

When you go to Berlin, take a train to this train station and then tour the city and really look around. Berlin is a wide city. I am used to crammed Amsterdam and Berlin was like going from a small room to a big house.

I am looking forward to visiting Berlin again…
