Kälte in Berlin by Mikah Manansala

A Parallel Planets piece by Unknown

"I finally was able to book some vacation time, taking a few weeks from working in the lab, to go visit Berlin, a city famous for many things. Great food, great clubs, great people, great culture and history. My muse and I roamed a lot in the vast city, stopped by the places to see. From the Tiergarten park to the abandoned airstrip of Tempelhof. We visited many museums and were even lucky enough to go to a classical concert in the Berliner Philharmoniker concert hall. I mostly (as usual) shot portraits of my better half,  but I also felt the need to sort of document my trip, shooting things, I generally don't. Anything that caught my eyes, I decided to capture. Architecture, street art, nature, shapes... Pretty much everything went through my lens. As you could also expect, January in Berlin, is quite cold. Luckily for us, it only drizzled and snowed a bit one day, so we had dry grayish weather for most of our stay. Hence, my choice of shooting mostly black and white."
