berlin: 10 shades of grey

Berlin_Grey_Mauerpark Steps

a few days ago, dell posted 10 types of blue - a gorgeous snapshot of oz at the moment and one which shot a pang of homesickness right through me.

rather than get on a plane, i decided to find the beauty in berlin's grey. and you know what, it worked! within all the grey, there are actually some pretty stunning bursts of colour and i've decided to start actively look for the colours of berlin. not only that, but in enjoying the grey, i got a whiff of understanding about the gothic/romantic/expressionist view of germany, one which i couldn't really connect to before.

Always wanted to visit Berlin. Hope I'll get a chance when I go see my brother in Munich. Must be a great place to bring colour to.
