@Alex H I would like those photos 100 times if I could, they are so atmospheric. I love the fact they are scanned slides, that just improves them.

Thanks, I think the cr*p weather had a lot to do with it

Great photos Alex. I never went to the East even though I lived in Berlin in the 70s for a couple of years but went to school in England. They remind me so much of messing around near the wall. I didn't really get what it was all about at that age. They look really atmospheric. God knows where our family photos are from that time.

I must admit, it was one of our more bizarre experiences. Servicemen were only allowed in the Russian zone (East Berlin) whilst in uniform, so there was a lot of curiosity and staring 'on the other side' while I did the tourist bit in my No.1. I think driving in with a brand new Volkswagen may have also contributed
The female redcap at Checkpoint Charlie 'hoped my wife enjoys the shops" - that said we realised later there weren't many and those we did find were very sparse in their contents

Thanks, here's a few more then (these are scanned slides, so the quality isn't great)

Brandenburg gate & Wall from the West

No-go zone from the West (as far as I can tell from Google, this is now an awful lot of shops!)

Brandenburg gate from the East (that's as near as I was allowed to get)

Brilliant. Brilliant.

Seeing as it's Valentines Day.....I took this last November for my cousin who collects pictures of natural heart shaped objects.

Finally decided to modernize my Nikon glass. AI-S glass is still amazing (and they have an aperture ring) but for me it's time to go AF-S. If anyone is interested in buying good ol' 135mm f3.5, 24mm f2.8 or selling the new AF-S 105mm f2.8, 85mm 1.8, 28mm 1.8g lens DO contact me.
