Lovely day celebrating the birthday of a good friend on the canal. This dog was having a great time fetching a ball from the water.

The Oberbaum bridge is part of my daily routine. Every morning on the way to my German class as I cross the bridge, I slow down a little and get into my curious tourist mode.
The other day I was sitting at a park by the water in Kreuzberg. In every direction I looked there were cranes.
Another day passes by and Berlin is picking up. Summer has officially started and the weather is terrible. But the bird have to fly, and so do the kites.
It seems that Berlin is becoming a victim of it’s own popularity. The rent prices are going up. The alternative venues are becoming mainstream. Tourist behave like tourists and Berliners don’t like it!
