Berlin - Collectors Mine

Of all the cities in the world, in more recent times Berlin has undergone the most dramatic transformation, and yet has still maintained its ancient charm. As the headquarters of Adolf Hitler's campain for world domination in the 1930s and 40s, Berlin suffered terrible consequences, not least the eventual separation of the east from the west of the city, by the now gone, but not forgotten, Berlin Wall. Nevertheless, this is one of the world's liveliest cities, with an air of culture, artistic freedom and optimism that is truly not to be missed.
Berlin is without doubt a city of contrasts, and shot in glorious HD, the magnificent architecture of the Brandenburg Gate appears opulent and lavish next to the simple dignity of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. But each landmark has its part to play in commemorating what has happened here in Berlin, while the nightlife of the Potsdamer Platz and the elegant tree lined avenue of Unter Den Linden stands testament to this city's incredible resilence and ability to survive, no matter that fate might throw its way.
