This is the backside of my old 3rd generation iPod, lighted by high noon sun. You can clearly see the scratches that have been carved into the metal in daily use. This iPod's been featured before eg. here and here.

Being in Berlin the first time (75 images in 14 chapters)

As my brother Maximilian left Karlsruhe end of last year went to Berlin, we long had the plan to go visit him there - in Friedrichshain district. The time was there in mid March, when we got a cheap flight to Berlin. In the three days in Berlin we had, we decided to do some sightseeing there, with a visit to the government district, including the Kanzleramt and the Reichstag; a visit to Potsdamer Platz, an area that was raised from ground in 10 years after the Berlin wall had been teared down. Of course, we also included a trip to the largest remaining original part of the Berlin Wall, the East Side Gallery.
