Apple Nut Torte at Kochhaus

Apple Nut Torte served on a piece of slate at Kochhaus in Schoenberg, Berlin. I asked if there were a cookbook for sale with the recipe and unfortunately there was not.

River Spree Boat Ride

River Spree boat ride Gallery.

Lots of low bridges. Don’t stand up!

Old buildings and new buildings. Lots of construction, too.

Nollendorfplatz U-Bahn Platform Bathed in Colored Light

Nollendorfplatz U-Bahn Platform, Berlin, bathed in colored light from the windows.

It looked like an abstract painting to me.

Yes, it’s a Man OUTSIDE, 368 Meters High (that’s 1207 feet)

We were walking around Alexanderplatz looking for a spot to sit to sip a Radler, and my son said, “There’s a man rappelling up on the Fernsehturm” (TV tower).

You can see him in the second, third and fourth photo. Maybe he was cleaning the windows? Can’t see any equipment, though. There’s an observation deck and a restaurant inside the tower where you can get a great view when the sky is this blue.

I never would have seen him if he hadn’t pointed him out to me. Didn’t travel with a big camera this trip, so no 70-200 lens to get a clear view.
