Here is a third series of Berlin pictures. All of these pix are from Friday october 20th.
My son and I visited the city this day (till about 2 PM) by train. Mostly subway and the so called Strassenbahn.
Among others we visited Potsdamer Platz, Jannowitzbrücke, Ostbahnhof, Frankfurter Allee - all in former eastern Berlin - and Hauptbahnhof.

It was a rainy day which made the pictures kind of gray. :(

1. First stop: subwaystation Gleisdreieck.
The station looks more like an old plant than a subwaystation, but I think it has something, right in the middle of the city.

2. Here the subway gets above ground level…

13. Next we went to the Jannowitz-bridge. This is a totally different world, compared to Potsdamer Platz.

14. I kind a like these residential buildings with their basic colours.

16. The terrace was closed. ;) The rainy weather suited well with the somewhat depressing atmosphere.

17. The Jannowitz-center. The bridge is wrapped because of construction, not because Christo was in town. ;)
