Berlin Stories, Part the Last 

 Moving on after this, I swear. Only as far as pictures of Prague, but still.


My view is that most great art gets mistaken for a skatepark at some point or another. It certainly happened to Rembrandt.


This great art did not pose a skateboarding risk, but was also not to be touched. 


This was one of the checkpoints between East and West Berlin. Is it bad that I immediately thought it looked a bit like my office? Style is cyclical.


This was an art installation at the Jewish Museum. It was highly impactful, but not hilarious in any way, so we'll move on.


There was a Munch show going on while we were in town. Which was not quite as hot of a ticket as Taylor or Beyonce, but did have it's own appeal.


This is a section of the Berlin Wall that they left standing. Presumably as a warning to other walls that they shouldn't try to mess with reunified Germany.


We should all pay better attention to deception. American politics has proved that.


There's a part of the wall that they've turned into an art gallery, and it's pretty amazing, aside from the aforementioned risk of deception.


This was a play on Guernica. Which did not turn out to be a terrible idea, perhaps in this case only.

We had a traditional German meal before we left. With the stipulation that there be no sauerkraut involved. I'm cultural AF, but I know my limits.
