🇩🇪 Berlin Through My Lens | Where Scars Shine

War stripped Berlin of its classical beauty, but gifted it something rawer—a living canvas of postwar grit and grace. 🏗️ The Berlin Aesthetic Scaffolded charm: Even construction sites get street-art makeovers Concrete poetry: Bus stops rising from rubble, DJs under bridges Stoic contrasts: Stern bus drivers vs. laughing crowds at spilling-over beer gardens 🖤 Facing History Head-On ⛪ Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church: Bombed spire + modern chapel = "Never again" in architecture 🕯️ Memorials that hurt: No sugarcoating Nazi crimes, just brutal honesty 🎨 Why Berlin Thrills 🎸 Street symphony: Musicians, muralists, living statues 🌆 Sunset rituals: Locals clinking bottles on bridges, Berlin Cathedral glowing gold 🍻 The vibe: "Be queer, be punk, be quiet—just be." #Berlin #CityOfLightAndShadow
