WOX Travel Contest | Week 1 | Berlin

in WORLD OF XPILARlast year

Hello @o1eh and all WOX travel lovers.

I decided to participate in the contest with a trip, or to be more precise trips, to the city of Berlin, the capital of Germany.

I love Berlin. I have visited the city on several occasions, the first time I went, I went for work and I spent about a month there and I fell in love with the city. It is almost all in a perfect state of cleanliness and order, it has excellent public transport, it is a lively city where there is always a lot of social and cultural activities. All this spiced with huge green areas and public spaces within easy reach. Over the last few years I have returned almost every year and almost always for the sheer pleasure of visiting, but also to visit friends I have there. The images below are a small summary of the times I have been there.

Hola @o1eh y todos los amantes de los viajes de WOX.

Me decido a participar en el concurso con un viaje, o para ser más exactos viajes, a la ciudad de Berlín, la capital de Alemania.

Me encanta Berlín. He visitado la ciudad en varias ocasiones, la primera vez que fui, lo hice por trabajo y estuve aproximadamente un mes y me enamoré de la ciudad. Está casi todo en un perfecto estado de limpieza y orden, tiene un excelente transporte público, es una urbe viva en la que hay siempre un montón de actividades sociales y culturales. Todo ello aderezado con unas enormes zonas verdes y espacios públicos al alcance de la mano. A lo largo de estos últimos años he vuelto casi cada año y casi siempre por el puro placer de visitarla aunque también para visitar a los amigos que tengo por allí. Las imágenes que subo son un pequeño resumen de las veces que he ido.

I was lucky enough to be able to take a photographic flight over Berlin, an unforgettable experience. An example of how orderly the city is is the Kreuzberg district.

Tuve la enorme suerte de poder realizar un vuelo fotográfico sobre Berlín, una experiencia inolvidable. Una muestra de lo ordenada que está la ciudad es el barrio de Kreuzberg.

There are dozens of museums in Berlin. Here is the Bodemuseum on Museum Island.

Berliners love street markets, and as soon as the weather permits there are a number of them that are a must.

A los berlineses les encantan los mercadillos callejeros, en cuanto el clima lo permite hay unos cuantos que son una cita obligada.

I am very grateful to you for taking the time to participate in my humble contest. Your photos are amazing, especially the bird's eye view.

I have never been to Berlin, but I have been to Dortmund, Dusseldorf and Munich several times. And yes, I was also very impressed by the cleanliness of the streets and the sense of order everywhere. The Germans themselves do not notice this.

Thanks again for the very cool post.

Thanks a lot @steemcurator07 and @petface for your commitment and support. It is highly motivational.

Thanks for the support, @petface :)

And if you also keep JF Kennedy's famous speech "Ick bin ein Berliner" in mind, in the middle of the border installations and now feel the freedom today, it's always a great moment!

Many thanks for your kind words and contribution @visionaer3003

I can imagine that. I have been to Berlin many times (I only live about 100 km from the city), but I have not yet made a flight over Berlin. :-)

Thanks for your comment @moecki

The flight was in the frame of a photographic report about the city for a book publisher, and I didn't expect to flight when I get the job, but the boss booked the helicopter and... Here we are!

You were in Berlin, no question ;-)) Beautiful shots of your impressions. Nevertheless, you describe a different city than the one I have been living in for a few years - clean and tidy would never have come to my mind as attributes for Berlin...

Many thanks for commenting @weisser-rabe

Obviously is my perception of the city I stayed for a couple of months. Everything is subjective, much more if you take in account I arrived there coming after a season in Morocco. The differences were tremendous.

You're right, of course: the angle of view is crucial.
